The
project is conceived as a new complex urban framework and as the place of
connection between different urban systems. Choosing a multi-scale and an articulated
functional and spatial approach, the proposal’s structure is based on a strong
connection to the rest of the city. It can be seen as a contemporary
re-interpretation of the complexity of the town’s central area.
The
project’s structures responds to the aim of revitalizing the site and the study
area by integrating different spaces and functions, and strengthening its
connection to the rest of the city.
For
this reasons, the project is defined by 5 component systems:
1. the residential area, whose development
follows the Badstugatan and Pink House directions;
2. the main public spaces system with a
new square in front of the cultural youth centre (Pink House), conceived as an
urban gate, close to the new roundabout between E45 and road 70) and towards the
south waterfront a solar park
3. the green wedge: a new park along
the E45 and the railway;
4. the weststrand park, a new system of
parks, sport facilities and leisure spaces along the E45 direction;
5. the waterfronts with new pedestrian
pathways, quays and decks along the shore.Different
environmental concerns have been considered in a general view.
Natural
Energy
Integrated
system is formed by a rising system ( the SolarPark)
and a receiving system (the new houses)
The
SolarPark is structured with greenhouses that
hold public functions beside to be café, restaurants, atelier etc.
The
greenhouses are provided by photovoltaic system panels integrated in the
glasses covered surfaces exposed to the south, the vertical facades are
structured with a photovoltaic brise-soleil system. All road lamp along the
path can be photovoltaic led. The energy product should feed the new housing
complex consumptions.
Eco-housing:
the residential units aim to reduce their energy consumption and develop the
natural resources to become passive homes.
-The
glassed facades are opened to the southern light to maximize the amount of
solar heat gain in the wintertime, but screened by wooden brise-soleil during
the summer.
-A
wide section of walls and ceilings allow a well-insulation of the inner spaces,
as also the glassed facades are thought
for minimal energy loss.
-The
small greenhouse in the houses, accumulate heat and distributing it to closer
rooms.
-The
heating and hot water systems are integrated by geothermal heat pump. project team: Stefania Papitto , Gianluca Evels, Francesco Fazzio
