Three of Vilhelm Lauritzen’s masterpieces are now listed buildings: Radiohuset, Rosenørns Allé, Folkets Hus, Enghavevej, and the 1939 airport terminal building, which was relocated to Maglebylille, Copenhagen Airport in 1999.
With a tradition for innovation VLA was founded in 1922 by the architect Vilhelm Lauritzen (1894-1984). Vilhelm Lauritzen’s refined use of materials and detail, elegant, intimate special sequences, partnership with the leading civil engineers and curiosity as regards form and function made him one of the supreme representatives of Scandinavian modernism. Today Vilhelm Lauritzen Arkitekter AS (VLA) is a full service architectural partnership with unique experience and expertise. History continues to play an important role: the dedicated staff of seventy draws on Vilhelm Lauritzen’s timeless virtues in its work, translating them into VLA projects by applying today’s means and ambitions. The results are innovative and long-lasting.

VLA
The idea is the bearing element When VLA takes on projects its starting point is that the architecture must improve people’s opportunities and quality of life. This is the fount of our ideas. The process of architecture is to transform these ideas into reality. During the process we emphasize the need to appreciate and understand the need to take emotional and physical factors into account when we design buildings inside and out: we analyze the requirements, we consult the people whose lives will be touched, and we invite involvement and participation. In doing so we are able to meet the stipulated needs and requirements but as architects we go a step further than that: we lend the buildings identities of their own that encourage empathy and response from their users.

Architecture
The desire also to create detail The kind of assignment VLA likes best would range from general planning, the design of the buildings, to the interior design, product design and graphic design. The design and product development of furnishings, fittings, lighting and graphics are an important feature of VLA history and continue to number among our key skills. Design commissions often emerge from specific construction projects. The products and the way they are integrated into the project as a whole can both be developed in cooperation with manufacturers as part of the overall package.

Movement on a large scale In urban planning the whole is more important than the architecture of the individual buildings. The intention of VLA is to ensure that planning influences the effect public spaces have on us, to understand the interaction of public spaces with the life of the individual, and to express the life of the city. The architect is charged with ensuring the vitality that enables the town to mould, reflect and generate life and movement.

Involvement leads to ideas
The workshop is VLA’s tool for generating ideas and developing concepts. Basically it involves putting the client and the project centre-stage. The method can be applied to every phase of a project. It helps to ensure that the right ideas come into play at the right time, and very importantly that everyone touched by the project is able to be part of the process as and when required or desired.

The workshop model
Professional management of time, money and sustainability VLA has accumulated unique experience at every level of project development and is thus able to provide all the relevant professional consulting skills. The VLA architects have great experience of working in dynamic projects with stringent quality and flexibility requirements, and where delivery on time and on budget is vital. Years of attention to sustainability in connection with major, environmentally friendly buildings has given VLA a head start as regards environmental management, choice of materials and the development of environmentally friendly technical design work.

Project development and implementation
The capacity for wonder The capacity for wonder is one of the recurrent characteristics VLA wants to strengthen and cultivate in the creative process. The capacity for wonder brings with it the capacity to develop ideas involving both space and organization. Working together is a core concept within VLA and in relation to clients, users and other people touched by a project. VLA has evolved its own organization to ensure that the project is given pride of place by forming a matrix in which the design of the project is spotlighted while all the vital support functions are independent areas of responsibility each project can draw on as required. This kind of organizational structure requires cooperation, visibility and involvement. It guarantees the client a rational, transparent, optimally-staffed organization constantly focusing on unifying function, time, money and architecture into a greater whole.

Master Plan Dujiangyan Province China 2007, 1.200.000 m² VLA is preparing a 1.2 million m² master plan for Dujiangyan province. This development ranges from terraced houses to villas and multi-stories buildings, with some buildings as tall as 30 storeys. The master plan is inspired by qualities of the beautiful landscape of mountains and watercourses which are already present in the vicinity. The central theme and organising element will be a river shaped like a dragon winding its way through the green landscape. Developments are established along the river, and are anchored by green belts of woodland. Each development is formed around one or more market squares. All developments in the master plan capitalize on their proximity to the river and the leisure opportunities it offers.
1994, 100.000 m² In 1994, VLA won an invited competition between 4 architect firms for the new structural plan for Copenhagen Airport’s North area. The pre-requisite for the plan was the fixed train and car link to Sweden as well as extension of Copenhagen Airport’s Terminal system including layout of business areas.

Røde Port Roskilde Denmark 2008 VLA provided sketches for the Red Gate project at Roskilde station. Røde Port [Red Gate], which will provide 1500 jobs, 2500 parking bays, 100 homes, a 270-room hotel and a conference centre, will be the largest construction project in Roskilde to date. It is named after the railway viaduct at Roskilde station that forms the eastern approach to the city centre. In accordance with the “finger plan” for the development of the Copenhagen area, the project will ensure better use of sites near the railway network and is a good example of the interaction of urban planning and the development of public transport. The location of the project around Roskilde station is intended to create an attractive city centre, simultaneously promoting the use of public transport and relieving road congestion. VLA, with previous experience of working in the area from its Trekroner School project in Roskilde, drew the sketches published at a press conference on 23 April. The buildings will be completed in 2012.

Terminal 3 Copenhagen Airport Denmark 1994 - 1998, 30.000 m² Terminal 3 is created with a striking and expressive design on the b ackdrop of the more straightforward existing terminal system. The form of the building and the utilisation of daylight make the passenger’s movement more clear and the triangular plan geometry expresses the division of passenger types: The arrival area is placed in the broad part, the departure area is in the middle part and the station area is at the pointed end of the terminal.
The terminal building is actually a large flexible volume that is pre-planned for extension in the direction of its length. In 2002, VLA designed the recent renovation of the departure hall that returns the hall to its original state of clear expression and at the same time ensures that the terminal can facilitate new demands of efficiency and security.

1999 - 2002 With a strong increase in air traffic, Architect Vilhelm Lauritzen’s terminal from 1939 became too small. A new terminal based on new principles where crowding of passengers and baggage should be avoided, was planned in the first years of the fifties. This led to a building with separate passenger and baggage flows.

Kastrup station Copenhagen Airport Denmark 1993 - 1998 The station, Copenhagen Airport Kastrup, is built as a side-platform station with two tracks. It is designed as an open but simultaneously, glass-covered underground station. From a 7-metre broad light well along the entire station, daylight and fresh air flows down to the rail travellers. The overall goal has been to create the impression of lightness and security. The station curves in accordance with a line layout towards the Øresund tunnel. At platform level, the light well leads towards the central walkway and elevator which provides direct access to Terminal 3.
2003 - 2007 The new metro station is designed by VLA. The metro station will be integrated with Copenhagen Airport’s parking structure immediately to the north of Terminal 3’s apex.

2002 - 2005 VLA won the invited competition for erection of a new control tower. With a height of 72 meters,the tower is experienced as a striking point of reference on the flat island of Amager. The project comprises 3 main elements: The base building, the 21-storey high tower and the uppermost cab from which the traffic control function is conducted. The tower is formed by a cross-section of a modified triangle where the broad side faces the airstrips and the small side faces Dragør. The tower’s shaft is cast in concrete with a sliding form construction; cap and other functions are made of steel and clad with glass.

Hanza City Flowers Riga Latvia 2007, 129.400 m² Since sustainable solutions were not part of the brief the aim was to create a number of options within the proposal allowing the client to consider several sustainable measures: The overall concept behind the project is that the financial centre interacts with the green zone that is part of the city plan. In order to utilize the green zone as much as possible, the project suggests an ex-pansion of the original site in order to create a city park that is in direct contact with the zone. The atrium configuration of the buildings provides the possibility to implement several sustainable elements into the complex. The double glass facades and the large volumes of the atriums can work together to provide natural ventilation for much of the year. Solar cells can be integrated into the glass facades and there is also the potential to collect and reuse rainwater

Housing Riga Latvia Expected realisation 2010, 35.000 m² (420 apartments), 1.000 m² (business). Vilhelm Lauritzen Architects – VLA – won the international competition for a high-rise building complex in Riga, Latvia. The idea behind the proposal is to create a varied, lively dwelling environment through a synthesis between scandinavian design and the existing urban landscape. VLA used the potential of the site itself as a starting point and combined it with the goal of creating an architecture which is full of light, air and varied experiences. The competition proposal comprises an area of 35.310 m² with 420 apartments, including a residential tower which is the landmark of the complex. VLA participated in the competition in cooperation with Schønherr Landskab.
The Tuborg North housing units are uniquely situated directly on Øresund. Each housing unit has large, well-lit rooms and two or more balconies (15 m²). The housing units are concrete structures faced with smooth graphite-grey masonry. All window structures and other facings are made of mahogany.

Da Vinci Parken Aalborg Denmark 2004, 10.000 m² In August 2004, VLA won the architectural competition for designing the best urban precinct in Aalborg. The proposal is based on a text describing the establishment of the best precinct of Aalborg. Inspired by this statement, the proposal involves contemporary housing units that are farsighted in terms of both functionality and architecture. The fundamental concept is to combine dynamic architecture with quality outdoor surroundings in order to influence the residents’ awareness of and care for their surroundings. This understanding can establish an order of priority in the common environment, whereby each resident consciously attributes a unique value to each housing unit, common housing area and semi-public area.
Stævnen is placed in the southern and most attractive part of the neighborhood and will have unimpeded views out over the large, protected natural area at Kalvebod Fælled. As an important amenity, the new building will be surrounded by water to the east and south, in the form of a large basin which is the new neighborhood’s border to Kalvebod Fælled.
