esidents with a sense of horizon and opportunities to relax, while Kolding contains Koldinghus,<br />
Galleri Trapholdt, and Christiansfeld, as well as a river that flows slowly through the town with<br />
cryptic messages. Like my ancestors, who fled the duchies, Kolding became a city where people<br />
stayed briefly to move on, the city was a êntre-pot. The only square is the railway station square<br />
with a view of Koldinghus that masks the absence of true democracy in the city. On the other hand,<br />
the Crown Prince opened an exhibition that included the bow of Dannebrog. I have interpreted this<br />
as an invitation to the people of Kolding to create something new and to honor the city with the<br />
need for an architectural masterpiece that is steeped in renewal in harmony with the ancestors. I am<br />
just an ambitious voice, wearing the velvet gloves of Central Europe - without which, according to<br />
Milan Kundera, Europe is not possible.<br />
Family-wise, I have a distant cousin in Venezuela, a former city architect in Caracas. My father's<br />
uncle, Uncle Serban, is the former mayor of a Transylvanian mountain municipality, after which my<br />
father is named. He was baptized by Serban Dan. Today, he is named Dan Serban.<br />
I have been encouraged to apply for the program. I do not know who is paying for it.<br />
It goes without saying that, without love and spring water, the hero is no good, no matter how selfdependent<br />
and self-aware he is. Like humans, we rely on interactions with others to nourish<br />
ourselves. At the same time, life in institutions provides people the opportunity for an exchange<br />
between bodies, impressions, thoughts, ideas, and considerations – to exercise power. However, as<br />
students, you are at least ganz frei.<br />
This must be set against the fact that urban planners' perceptions of their roles have changed over<br />
time. They make decisions, filter issues, seek to influence others, and put pressure on themselves.<br />
Architecture, on the other hand, helps to tell a story and changes people's self-perception. This has<br />
become more subtle and agile.<br />
However, what does the transformation of governance structures mean for what we think about<br />
urbanism in Europe? We used to be post-modern. If we are to be modern again in Europe,<br />
theoretically sound approaches will be required. Therefore, I would like to get out of the program<br />
the ability to contribute to the construction of Europe and the quality of urban development in<br />
Denmark regarding the tasks I may have in the future. As you can see, I believe that we should not<br />
only take a more strategic approach to urban planning in Europe, but also create new, wellstructured<br />
bodies that are both European-oriented, nationally anchored, and sufficiently lubricated.<br />
This is provided by theoretically sound approaches that link good urban management with strategic<br />
urban design and architecture beyond Seaside, Florida.<br />
In other words, there are three projects in play: (1) A document entitled "Towards a European<br />
Architecture" (2) The New Kastrup project (3) An Urban Theory Manual that interacts with and<br />
engages architecture as a natural part of the city, an architecture that is both a symbol and an<br />
everyday thing, and a human experience that connects the built environment, sensory experience<br />
and influences how citizens stroll along streets and squares. This trinity requires solid grounding<br />
and integration between related disciplines such as architectural theory, urban theory, and practice,<br />
as conceived by the Copenhagen School. In other words, this is an urban design rather than urban<br />
planning, although it is hardly an ideal city.<br />
