RE:WATERFRONT : A sustainable architectural approach

(2019)
Abstract
RE:WATERFRONT evaluates theories and results from an interdisciplinary design experience with focus on urban architecture in sustainability discourse. Taking the design teaching of “RE:WATERFRONT: Post-industrial harbor transformation at Frihamnen in Gothenburg, Sweden” as a case study, this book intends to tackle the theme of re-development in urban voids. The aim is to introduce a methodological framework feasible to use when improving and consolidating a design approach oriented towards the concepts of experimentation, sustainability and creativity. Utilizing the transformation of a post-industrial harbor site as the intellectual and operational framework to catalyze speculative inquiries in the era of wicked problems, RE:WATERFRONT... (More)
RE:WATERFRONT evaluates theories and results from an interdisciplinary design experience with focus on urban architecture in sustainability discourse. Taking the design teaching of “RE:WATERFRONT: Post-industrial harbor transformation at Frihamnen in Gothenburg, Sweden” as a case study, this book intends to tackle the theme of re-development in urban voids. The aim is to introduce a methodological framework feasible to use when improving and consolidating a design approach oriented towards the concepts of experimentation, sustainability and creativity. Utilizing the transformation of a post-industrial harbor site as the intellectual and operational framework to catalyze speculative inquiries in the era of wicked problems, RE:WATERFRONT demonstrates alternatives to the current design and construction of urban space. The approach can be applied both as a design method in teaching, research and professional practice, as well as a reflection on the relationship between sustainability and architecture. The outcome has bearing on academics, educators, professionals, and policymakers interested in aspects of interdisciplinary sustainable design processes in urban redevelopment. (Less)
