Made in Borås -Borås

Respectful of Borås’s identity, its industrial and textile history, Made in Borås proposes to combine these elements with Gässlösa’s unique location on the Viskan river. Re-affirming the city’s riverscape as a strong tool for renewing Gässlösa’s, providing high quality living and climate adaptability. This approach led to the conceptualisation of a metropolitan river park at the core of Borås and its future developments, introducing the necessary spatial qualities for denser urban living.

Root City – Enköping

The vision for Myran is a green urban area that not only stands prepared for the challenges that the future might hold but also takes the lead in sustainable development of existing and new urban areas. The existing asphalt covered areas and warehouses will be replaced or transformed into spaces that have qualities that allow people to interact with each other, and with nature, for an interplay that both can benefit from. Ecological, social, health-related, economic and historical aspects are all interwoven with each other in the concept of the new productive city – Root City. The area will be characterized by smart systems with regard to energy, water and production; high green area factor and large element of greenery; and good opportunities for communication, health and recreation. This transformation and future development is designed to take place in a way that makes it root well i

Connection Hub -Halmstad

The proposals primary development strategy is to increase mobility and create places for people to meet. Using the site’s proximity to the city, the cultural trail and Halmstad university gives the site great potential to become a hub for movement, activity and life. Densification of the area with housing and programme specific structures and designed public spaces will increase activity and attractiveness to the area. The strategy aims to create physical and social connections that stitch both sides of the city. By bridging barriers and giving easy access to all parts of the city, the proposal looks to provide a sustainable development plan that will encourage and facilitate further growth of the city with high levels of social integration.

Seat At The Table – Helsingborg

A Seat At The Table anchors Oceanhamnen in a history of production. For H22, Helsingborg’s youngest citizens are invited to build a temporary city, while in the warehouse a monumental atrium is opened for exhibitions and performances. The crane begins its new life as an art platform – a skyhook for hanging fountains, projections or installations. Following H22, Magasin 405 becomes a library and laboratory for material culture – new forms of interaction centered on production. Brick rowhouses mirror the warehouse, and enclose a rich and intimate public garden. The quay is enlivened by markets, bike repair and a verdant boardwalk. A Seat At The Table is a hub for productive culture and collaboration. Both safe and exciting, everyone is invited to engage, or to simply enjoy the show.

The Generous City – Täby

The Generous City offers a positive vision for the productive city of the future. Based on the topics of resources, mobility and equity the proposal suggests three strategies to develop productive cities; Mix More, Move More and Meet More. Within the strategies, new and traditional urban planning tools are used to transform the existing large scale and car-bound monoculture into a mixed, dense and rich structure where everyone is welcome, and all will be able to contribute. Nature and urbanity intervein to form a city that is generous with green qualities and tolerant to extreme weather and climate change. Streets and public space are designed to absorb water – and at the same time encourage meetings and sustainable transportation. In Täby the modernist city is transformed into a generous and productive city of the future. The Generous City is a place where people gather, produce and share.

A Green Settlement Outside The Wall – Visby

In recollection of the historical context of the site as being part of a former agricultural landscape and inspired by the garden city town plan from 1934, we propose to reestablish central parts of the project site as a green “garden wedge” – turning the project site into a shared green garden area for the future inhabitants, with a clear relation and a line of sight towards the historical city wall. These gardens will host both recreational value for residents of the area as well as presenting the possibility of green productivity thus ensuring a sustainable approach to food production. Furthermore, we propose to establish Ihregatan as a productive maker-space, turning the present backside into a new urban frontside with productive activities as well as public functions in the ground floor.
