  LW585 - REGENERATE

  Regenerating Lavrik: A Sustainable & Enriching Future
  Lavrik's project links center and port with a panoramic bridge, a vibrant library, and more. Beyond infrastructure, it inspires virtuous living, combats climate change, and fosters environmental consciousness. Sustainability prevails, with local stone and low-carbon bricks. A new public space emerges, offering recreation, culture, and eco-friendly coastal protection.
  An existing building transforms into a marine biodiversity research center, promoting awareness. The library's design, with four interconnected buildings, houses 150,000 books. Serene acoustics and visual harmony enrich the experience. Lavrik's visionary approach leads to a sustainable and culturally vibrant future, inspiring other cities.

• Jury Remarks

  The proposal creates a strong link between the town, Bøkkerfjellet and the seafront. It suggests a variety of means of how to connect the strongly separated parts of town through a row of physical, programmatic and visual interventions, which should use circular economy as a material resource. The fragmentary approach to the task was considered by the jury to be an appropriate response to an equally fragmented environment, as well as a valuable tool for dealing with a development process full of uncertainties.

  The proposal suggests a multimedia library and digital archives dug inside Bokkerfjellet and a multi-function cultural centre down by the seashore. These two focal points should be interconnected by the visually strongest feature of the proposal, the bridge.

  The multimedia library is suggested to be built inside Bøkkerfjellet in order to be a part of the connecting route. The vertical connection is a good addition, although a possibly fairly demanding one to make tempting to use on street level.The new bridge has a smooth design and it looks inviting to use in its human scale. Lowering the bridge level is a clever solution to make it more inviting and closer to street scale.
