VORTEX
The forces impressed by the envisioned density, buildings, infrastructures, and open spaces, come to the site as organized fluids creating the evolution of the urban tissue. Evolution of the urban tissue The project traspolate existing urban patterns into geometrical islands (“L”, “C”, “U”, closed frames). Those are typologies that at the same time confine urban spaces alternating at most with green spaces. Programmatic Swirl The program is graded from pure housing and mixes up with offices-culture-leisure while getting closer to the station. Building deployment confine the “Gamlestaden Plaza” resulting on a 24 hour vivid space. Tectonic Permeability The proposed tectonics experiment different grades of transparency and permeability between public and private spaces.
