Planning ahead - Prototyping urbanism at Lövholmen in Stockholm
(2021) AAHM10 20211Department of Architecture and Built Environment
- Abstract
- My project sets off in the exploration of public spaces and new programmes emerging after the COVID-19 pandemic. The way we look at functions such as offices and retail has changed a lot during the past year. How will an office function compared to working from home? How will stores and retail function compared to e-commerce?
I believe that the way we use these programmes will change, and together with them, the public spaces of our cities. What is emerging is more flexibility and temporary uses.

And with that, a demand for new services and active public spaces. With increased flexibility and activity, the line between workplaces and services is blurred. This I will bring with me when designing a public building and an urban development.
The site for my degree project is Lövholmen in Stockholm, an old industrial site of disused factory buildings. The City of Stockholm is now conducting an urban renewal project of the site and my aim is to propose a vision of a prototyping development. I’m seeking to mix the existing activities and identity of the site, together with the emerging new programmes and uses. My project looks to explore the site through the activity of different users and its role in a wider context. (Less)
