non invasive strategies
Thematic ties. Through the project the main discourse has been to seek out ways of strenghtening ties and supporting the functions of spaces, through diversifying the uses of a given space. We’ve employed strategic densification with an emphasis on converting derelict spaces. The programs have sought to mediate between mutually exclusive spheres, in ways that have enabled us to minimize interstitial spaces/voids Rather than plotting out roads and houses, we’ve focused on establishing a series of interrelated /interdependent structures and spaces, how does architecture negotiate severe topologies without domesticating or taming.
Overall reflections. From the outset the ambition was two fold on the one hand to create a sort of anatomy to the site, laying out strands of specific/intentional areas/structures, these would be given clusters that provide definite and in some sense classical interpretations of urban networks. On the other hand there was an apprahention about laying out a masterplan, in that these seldom, if ever, work. With this in mind the second layer was to be a systemic one. We feel that the intertwining of logics has a potential of yielding unexpedted results and as such offer greater opportunities when it comes to tracing the outline of future developments, great cities are after all not planned, but grown. The plan then is a sort of vessel, providing fragmented logics, for the implementation of a city that is uncovered like an archeological excavation. Two modes of operation; one that brances out, seeking points of attachment, hiearchical structures to
adhere to and support. The other one of systemic logic driven employment, a crystalline virus. The systemic: The central part of the site is the most difficult to tackle. It is a heavily contradictory patchwork of sizes, topology and program, and at first glance seem to keep its redeeming qualities somewhat to itself, nowhere is there a clearly dominant or priveleged feature. As a countermeasure to this heterogeneity a strategy of inversion was employed; the site as a homogeneus field of potential events, the nullification of meaning. The strategy of the found: This modality operates as a mapping that traces a dense layer of multiple meanings, a palimpsest of sorts. Through the multiplicity new cross connections are established as a strategic means of visualizing simultaneous potentials.
Principal programmatic reflections: Nacka has great qualities, there’s a tradition of delineated areas creating their own identity. This has much to do with the way in which both roads and typology separate the constituent parts. The densifications that have been made in the latter decades have been more than successfull. Areas like Nacka Strand, Sickla Köpkvarter, Hamarbyhamnen, Järlasjö and the developing areas of Kvarnholmen and Sickla Utbildningskvarter biuld on and connect to these previous successes. We believe that in order to create viable spaces, it is necessary to not solely focus on densification. The identity and character of an area, the flow of people and the user groups are pivotal points. Merely densifying and filling out the area between Forum Nacka and City Hall would merely be an empty gesture, and ultimately, a step backward in the urban development of Nacka.
How to make Nacka center an urban node -connect the city center with the potent areas in the municipality of nacka -establish a cross connection. Järlasjön/citycenter/archipelago -meld citycenter with nacka strand -make the area very public and versatile OBS -usage 250 m -introduce diverse programs for extensive 24hour -link the center with surrounding areas through the implementation of anchorpoint framework -more buildings, more fields, more park, less derelict space make the citycenter a place for people to spend time more often and longer

A note about communication - A net of events and connections - The three anchorpoints. Even to place Nacka Center as a node unto itself in naive and weak in comparison to the flows that border the site. Instead we see a network of nodes as the obvious way of negotiating the site. Instead of shrinking the center to a point, we view it as a constituent part of a city interlaced vith the adjacent areas. The center as a place possessing a dense vitality, that makes it’s status as a hub a given. Establishing a densification across an otherwise single track nacka, from Järlasjön to Ryssviken. To further develop the the dense area from forum nacka to the järla area and to establish a water front area towards the archipelago. Connecting Nackas Harbour Principal programmatic intentions. When pursuing a strategy of densification and the establishing of a central node, it is important to pay heed to the allready diverse programmatic distribution present in nacka. The three areas that we have pointed out posess different dominant qualities and potentials, amongst others through their adjacent programs. Thus the intersection and interweaving (sic!) with the present environment and adjacent areas is two fold, programmatic and structural. This affords us with a strategy which is exNacka Harbour tensively flexible and Connecting adaptable to market New Harbour focus demands.

Mapping: The initial mappings porvide simultaneous, layered readings of site relations, in this way it produces a variety of juxtapositions that become generative design tools.
Infrastructural Relations: The north eastern entry appears as a composite archipelago of vehicular traffic vessels and derelict interstitial spaces. The initial mapping is preoccupied with speculatory modifications and implements in order to claim these interstitial spaces in order to produce cross connections and programs suitable for spaces that are otherwise redundant.

The initial mapping is preoccupied with speculatory modifications and implements in order to claim these interstitial spaces in order to produce cross connections and programs suitable for spaces that are otherwise redundant.
Embedded Infrastructure: The main feature of the south western entry point to the site is a condensed transportation vortex. Trains, cars and pedestrian traffic are congealed into a knot. From this point a path establishes an edge towards the western housing areas, while at the same time establishing a node, underneath the highway, towards the lake shore.
Internal Relations:The main area of the site is comprised of a plethora of different public and private program. The diagram attempts to produce a series of interrelations and connections in order to redefine the site as a potential land-/eventscape.
1d // link up The main public programs of the central site are arranged in separate spheres thus negating interchange as interstitial occurences. Through discrete manipulaton the proposal aims to establish causalities between these disparate programs in order to utilize this quality as generative impetus.

Northern Residential Area: This area consists of a mix of typologies and stack heights. Towards the freeway a cluster of slender one-apartment-per-storey, 18 floor buildings, lends a striking silhouette to the area. Deeper into the site a buildings of the same typology in 10 storey format mix with diverse 6 storey formats, creating ascreen towards the highway while maintaining porosity and flexibility.

Anchorpoints_Buildings: The anchorpoint strategy focuses on providing facilitating structures that mediate the transitionel points in the urban fabric. These structures take on specific programmes according to site requirements and affordances. As key focalpoints within their respective areas their task is to provide a form of cohesion and intention to the spaces thay inhabit as well as the programs they contain. Intention not through rigid semantic readings but rather through a suggestive nature. The programs are archetypal in their relation to the city center. Public spheres that tie into and support adjacent programmatics.
Sports Center: The sports center, is placed as one of the two key biuldings in the north eatern area of the site. The building attaches itself to a previously derelict part of the site and in doing so accomplishes two things; through its straddling of the highway exit, it frees up space in the central site and at the same time creates a bufferzone between the park and a highly trafficated area.
Carpark: The mixed use structure comprises parking structure, offices and showroom. It strategically uses its position on a piece of urban flotsam between nacka sjรถstad the highway and the center. in this vortex it provides functions that supplement the adjacent programmes while at the same time offering a distinctive profile on a nondescript interstitial space.

Library: The library is the second of the two major public programs that relate to the forum nacka and also plays the part of transitional structure between the forum and the park. In the park the library acts as a spatial organizer, provoding direction and distinction in the reading of space relative to city hall, the sports center, down slope to the serviced apartments and towards the street/forum nacka.
Anchorbone: As an amalgamation of three well knows programme types the anchorbone is a vital juxtaposition of types, linking a berlinesque badeschiff with student housing and a pedestrian bridge, thus providing vital impetus and the outline of a possible anatomy to a new urban development.
