Europan 17 Rimbo (SE)

winner

Team Point of View

A new urban artery is created to activate Rimbo with the most dynamic coexistence of activities. The interaction between this new main street and the multifunctional hub, the "new town hall," creates a stimulating collective image, representing The Rimbo Spirit with authenticity.
A happy cultural landscape, fostering a peaceful and open society in harmony with itself and with nature. Implemented in phases, this project will transform Rimbo into a vibrant town, offering diverse mixed-use spaces that cater to a wide range of activities, functions, and people. Embracing various building typologies, dimensions, tenures, and affordability levels, the town will be a social space that encourages citizen interaction, stimulates sociability, and strengthens collective identity.

Jury Point of View

Somewhere over the Ringbo is a convincing proposal, based on a strong analysis of existing values, with the foundation of a robust overall concept that allows a ring road to connect the local community both socially and ecologically. Through this, the proposal shapes an urban development plan within the competition area, employing a consistently executed framework for development. Somewhere over the Ringbo credibly presents a road layout and development phases within a structure that also captures important existing pathways and cross-connections.
