238 Twinphenomena Team point of view Twinphenomena 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. Jury point of view The project is an example of how to do urban planning primarily from the perspective of designing a city that is adaptable overtime. It is a time-based proposal, which focuses on processes and relations rather than closed or only formal definition. It is organised in stages and sequences. The system can produce multiple outcomes, as the set of rules can be implemented with variants. The fabric is defined by developing and comparing the twin phenomena of urban quality and agriculture at the same level. Every parameter considered is approached from this dual perspective.
