MURAL FINAL WEBZITE ZONE A_edited.jpg

ZONE A

Zone A of Ringön is the area you first encounter when arriving from the city, which offers a valuable opportunity to showcase its rich mix of businesses, services, and the harbor, highlighting its importance as a vibrant gateway to the district. In the northern part of Zone A, many companies have established themselves. This area is also home to the new Vagnhallen for public transport vehicles. Further south, there are more services available, such as an animal hospital, IT shops, print shops, and tool stores. Along the waterfront, you will find parking areas, a major leasing company, and the Blue Marine marina. Additionally, the Stadsmiljöförvaltningen (City Environment Administration) occupies a significant amount of space.

FREE PROTOTYPE ZONE

Josua Ernvik

Ringön is surrounded by neighbourhoods going through large scale, top-down gentrification. Can Ringöns path forward be something differentA transformation for the better where the old isnt wiped away and replaced but lifted in its beauty and uniqueness? Can Ringön become a breath of fresh air of the unexpected, the bottom-up and the humane amidst its planned and carefully conformed neighbours?

FLIP THE  LANDSCAPE

Nadia Alrachid & Xènia Seoane

In a world where humans dominate even the Earths eras, the goal is to balance what is built (upperground) with biomass (underground), by flipping the landscape and highlighting the symbiosis between humans and the rest life forms.

Room for Connection

Vivienne Becker

The floating prototypes establish a direct connection between the entrance area and the center of Ringön. Additionally, the modules create spaces that encourage human interaction and a closer connection with nature. For instance, small parks teeming with greenery are integrated alongside temporary houses and office spaces. Grass areas filled with wildflowers are designed to attract Nordic bees, while algae in the water draw fish. The adaptive design is prepared to accommodate rising sea levels, and the bridge remains moveable

Changing Tides 

Gjermund August Lia Bjønnes

At the intersection of Ringöns industrial heritage and Gothenburgs ecological aspirations lies a transformative vision: an Urban Naturum that thrives within the tides of Göta River. This experimental prototype invites intertidal species and humans to coexist in a dynamic environment shaped by nature and industry. With tide-responsive structures that embrace the rhythmic flow of the river and open access to the riverside for public exploration, the design reimagines the waterfront as a living laboratory of sustainability.

INBETWEEN THE REEDS

Gabriel Kant

A modular floating bridge system that creates a landscape of reeds and meeting spaces along the river in central Gothenburg, designed for both humans and nonhumans. The prototype facilitates movement along the riverfront and provides a shortcut from the city center to Ringön.

ANIMALS BOX

Ziyue Wang

ANIMAL BOX is not only a transformation of the backyard of Blue Star Animal Hospital. it is also a stray animal shelter that can attract stray animals in the surrounding area and increase ecological diversity. it is also a public space where people in the southern part of the city can gather. The design adopts a modular design and can be implemented in any corner of the city, achieving economic, ecological and social sustainability.
