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 />
