Eccentric Megacore

Ressembling a Rocket launching Platform, the core tapers towards the top. The connection to the public rvealm in Ground-level is larger and capable of higher operational volume. At higher levels a geometrical reduction takes place alleviating top loads and momentum. Perforations on the outer shell (south) were inspired by Gaudi’s cateary structural resources which optimise load transfer organically.

Topographies of memory and void Potentials

Sustainable Landscape Research Studio 05, 2018 Angelholm, Sweden

there’s little hope.

Immersed in an endless chain of unsustainable frequencies, the struggle for production continues its shameless creation of voids in the urban fabric.

Undoubtedly, Angelholm joins an infinite web of complexity that may have left this former industrial town in the middle of an era that tends to go faster than its capacity to cope. Rushed decisions though, like the demolition of a former Slaughterhouse Facility, have created precious empty space. In front of Central station, first thing you might see after stepping out is a pebble mountain, product of current developers’ excavations.

An exciting artifice that inspires an alternative to a rather flattened topography: the topography of memory that has been inhaled by a modernization vacuum running tirelessly since about 100 years. Today, while we dream of alternatives, builders are about to break ground.
