Europan 12 Höganäs

winner

Team point of view

TWIN PHENOMENA proposes to generate new settlements in Höganäs through reconciling the URBAN and the RURAL. The project colonizes the territory by a strategy of densification over time. It also integrates the agricultural landscape into the voids of the urban fabric, always seeking a low-footprint urban development.
In order to achieve these goals, we propose a network of public spaces that manage their own constructability and a grid of productive gardens to exploit the agricultural landscape. We define the rules that ensure its proper operation and the guidelines for its subsequent management.
A dual linear narrative (urban vector/rural vector) transforms each concept in the intervention towards reconciliation between urbanity and agriculture.
