Existing area:

Vestra Hamn has a starting point in an already settled and planned situation.The authority has, along with many engineers and architects made plans for many years ahead.

what has not been included in the plans so far, is the border cross-ing between the center-core and this township. In this zone there is “a no man’s land”, where the remains of the industry, re-grown natural and old traintracks are to be found. The border between the city and this new site that is filled with buildings, houses, leisure areas and a high standard of living, in general is more clear-ly made in that this limit is present and that one in-terprets the differences between zones in an even greater extent.

Site:

principle:

A park/space/idea where water and other types of connections are crossing vertically to unit both sides of the different townships.The path/connection from the central station and towards the sea has an amorphos form, so that the walk or where you are going will not be revealed, and at the same time will interfere with the buildings that will have different functions. The buildings, existing or transformed will be com-mon services that will pre-vent a monoculture, like cultural center, library and theatre with a shared culture from all the inhab-itants of malmø.

Tools:

Polymerization is the process of ex-change between different molecules (partners such as villages, cities, re-gions) for a collaborative develop-ment towards new constellations.I have borrowed the concept from the book archilab europe strate-gic architecture from the german architect/urabnist anna batschun. Though she talks about the urban polimerization in her book i want to interpret the tool to use it and un-derstand the situation better based on a smaller scale.urban polymerization creates spa-tial networks. These can have bi-po-lar, linear, rhizome and archipelago-like forms. the term polymer is derived from the greek words “poly”= many and “mer” = particle. In polymerization there are many molecules of a material bond to form a new union.I see all the remains from the indus-try in the borderline as something that can get a new use and form the site in a different way. The bond is allready existing, Everyone is de-pending on eachother, and by adding different fuctions there will become a new unit.
