TEAM POINT OF VIEW — Karlskrona has always been a city of
islands and bridges, with a shoreline in constant change. Building on this tradition, we propose the Hattholmen grid based on the historic grid typical for its military past. The continuation of the North-South axis and the shift of the East-West alleys create flexible plots. Through analysis of existing typologies our urban plan features a mix of low-dense blocks with several “icons“. Extending the grid into the water, walkways create access to boats, buildings on stilts, floating functions and the “blue square“. Evolving Karlskrona’s relationship with the water to the extreme, the whole Hattholmen becomes a harbour, thus creating an open-ended process that gives the neighbourhood a finished expression early on, while leaving room for future growth.
The Productive City as a Platform AUTHOR(S) — Viktor Becker (SE), Simon Stulien (NO),

TEAM POINT OF VIEW — The ongoing techno-cultural revolution
confuses people confused and these changes should not leave people on their own in completely new and unfamiliar environments. The answer to revolution is not revolution. The question is rather how can we use the digital revolution and our changing lifestyles as a tool to put people in control of their own environment by making them comfortable with the consequences of modernity? The project is based on five design parameters for carrying the city from mechanization to digitalization and establishes a way of thinking and talking about the city in terms of effectiveness. Large companies such as Uber should not lead the digital revolution, but the tribe, your tribe, my tribe, our tribe should lead it instead.
