Project:
Stitching together

Addressing Åkrehamn’s unclear urban structure and lacking a discernible centre we proposed a cluster of independent projects stitched together through a densified urban tissue and a network of stoa and green galleries. Connecting the sea, city centre and its natural surroundings through high-quality outdoor areas, the new urban structures promote walking and biking by enlivening and strengthening the connections between the harbour and the main road. Public space thus becomes the stage for complex transformation processes as well as a vital and functioning urban heart. Transforming spaces designed around the needs of mobility vehicles, harbour, main road, into a biodiverse landscape for humans and non-humans, a mediator between new interdependencies is formed, a Living City component.
