URBAN PROTOTYPES & NEW URBAN LANDSCAPES
The urban space is a result of countless overlapping layers of different character, all of them with implications in terms of social, cultural, environmental, and economical parameters. The ACE465 and ACE495 studios have explored Ringön, a centrally located district in Gothenburg that has been shaped through the centuries by factors of industrialisation, infrastructural segregation and a strong-willed culture.
URBAN PROTOTYPES ACE465
The ACE465 Urban Prototypes studio has explored the interface between buildings, landscape and infrastructure to create prototypes which form new types of public spaces and coexistence. The studio promoted an experimental and creative research-by-design approach, based on a strong knowledge of facts and contexts. The learning process holds an understanding of the site from specific and relevant parameters that are mapped and articulated in intentional cartographies which are transformed into spatial structures through modeling. An iterative process resulting in spatial strategies and finally in the design of Urban prototypes.
NEW URBAN LANDSCAPES ACE495
The ACE495 New Urban Landscapes studio has explored the diversity of conflicts and potential present in Ringön, departing from contextual analysis and leading to spatial proposals to create architectural solutions that establish new types of relationships between urbanization and nature. To understand and address the complexity of Ringön, we have worked with a transverse approach through different scales and complementary disciplines.
