Textilvarvet - en undersökning om framtida urban textilproduktion
(2024) AAHM01 20241Department of Architecture and Built Environment
- Abstract
- Today's textile industry is strongly characterized by fast fashion, a global industry based on large purchases and small margins, leading to overproduction where 4 percent of the textiles produced globally never reach the market. This results in poor working and living conditions in producing countries and huge emissions. With policy incentives and technological advances, we can move towards local and circular textile production that is small-scale, automated and close to the customer in an urban context. Textilvarvet explores what a future urban textile production can look like, how it can promote sustainable development and contribute to a vibrant urban life through multifunction-al areas and increased accessibility.

Textilvarvet explores what a future urban textile production can look like, how it can promote sustainable development and contribute to a vibrant urban life through multifunction-al areas and increased accessibility.
The project is located in the old Kockums area in Västra Hamnen, Malmö, which is currently un-dergoing an urban transformation process from industrial landscape to mixed city. The ongoing process has ambitious goals of creating a sustainable and attractive district where the focus is on reuse and transformation of the old environments to preserve the site's character and manage the heritage of former industry. The preservation of structures, materials and places is an important part of conveying history, but the transformation process can also be examined based on the functions and activities that are given space in the preserved environments.
The project has consisted of a study of the district's history and transformation, as well as a study of how urban production, with a focus on the textile industry, can be part of future sustainable de-velopment. Interviews, research, and site visits have resulted in a program- and design proposal where circular textile production interacts with the public in various ways. The project finds itself at the inter-section of production and urban life, of past and present. (Less) - Abstract (Swedish)
- Dagens textilindustri är starkt präglad av fast fashion, en global industri som bygger på stora inköp och små marginaler vilket leder till en överproduktion där 40 procent av de textilier som tillverkas globalt aldrig kommer ut på marknaden. Detta resulterar i bristande arbets- och levnadsförhållanden i produktionsländer samt enorma utsläpp. Med hjälp av politiska incitament och teknologiska framsteg kan vi röra oss mot en lokal och cirkulär textilproduktion som är småskalig, automatiserad och befinner sig nära kunden i en urban kontext. Projektet Textilvarvet undersöker hur en framtida urban textilproduktion kan se ut, främja en hållbar utveckling och bidra till ett levande stadsliv genom ökad tillgänglighet.

Projektet Textilvarvet undersöker hur en framtida urban textilproduktion kan se ut, främja en hållbar utveckling och bidra till ett levande stadsliv genom ökad tillgänglighet.
Projektet är placerat i Kockums gamla område i Västra Hamnen, kallat Varvsstaden, som idag genomgår en stadsomvandlingsprocess från industrilandskap till blandstad. Planprogrammet har ambitiösa mål att skapa en hållbar och attraktiv stadsdel där fokus ligger på återbruk och transformering av gamla miljöer som ska bevara platsens karaktär och förvalta arvet efter tidigare industri. Bevarandet av konstruktioner, material och platser är en viktig del av en historieförmedling men omvandlingsprocessen kan granskas utifrån de funktioner och verksamheter som ges plats i de bevarade miljöerna.
Arbetet har dels bestått av en undersökning om stadsdelens historia och omvandling, dels en undersökning om hur urban produktion, med fokus på textilbranschen, kan vara en del av en framtida hållbar utveckling. Intervjuer, inläsning, platsbesök och deltagande på en konferens har resulterat i ett program- och gestaltningsförslag där en cirkulär textilproduktion interagerar med allmänheten på olika sätt. Projektet befinner sig i mötet mellan produktion och stad, då och nu. (Less)
