E16- Dutch WINNER in KARLSKOGA, Sweden

Embrace Karlskoga

Authors: CORNE STROOTMAN (NL), CHRISTIAAN SMITS (NL) – landscape architects Rotterdam, Nederland

 

On the edge of lake Möckeln, between forests and meadows, a sustainable and inclusive district is taking shape that embraces the qualities of Karlskoga. Sustainable: The district embraces all landscape characteristics and existing buildings on the site, giving new functions to the big box stores and increasing the biodiversity of the streams, forests, and meadows. Inclusive: The district introduces a variety of urban typologies that enable different ways of life. Each typology embraces the natural values found around the site, outdoor activities, farming, and biodiversity become the foundation for a shared way of living. The district provides amenities, jobs, and houses, and because of the new Nobel railway to Oslo and Stockholm it entices urban dwellers that are looking to get away from the bustle of the city, into the quiet forests on the edge of a beautiful lake.

Third places “host the regular, voluntary, informal, and happily anticipated gatherings of individuals beyond the realms of home (first space) and work (second space). The infrastructure that was once conceived to connect functions, has changed into a barrier wich seperates the harbour area, cruise pier and residential area both spatially and socially. The Third Space brings these users and functions together in the heart of the island and divides this line into roughly three places, corresponding to the three time layers and users. In all three places, a spatial mix of landscape, urban grid and harbour is formed to create a Risoy specific identity. A mixed zone, which can cope with different uses, quantities of users, rhythms of use, meanings and target groups.
