Introducing Mesnaelva WITHOUT WATER, LIFE WOULD NOT EXIST. Likewise, most cities and towns of some size owe their existence to a river. So too Lillehammer. When the decision to found a city on the shores of Lake Mjøsa was being discussed, a most important point was an adueqate source hydropower as a foundation for craft and industry.

‘‘What had Lillehammer been without Mesna? No doubt a silly question! Without it, the city would not at all be where - or what - it is today!’’ (Mathisen, 1998, p.9)

‘‘the area surrounding Lillehammers offers considerable waterfalls, especially in Mesna River, for sawmills, mills and other industrial use’’. (Mathisen, 1998, p.9)

Thus Mesna was one of the main arguments in the decision of the government in Februrary 1827. It was noted that; 11

‘From that day on, the Mesna River has been one of the defining features of Lillehammer. Source of electricity, power for industry, source of drinking water, a highly regarded inspiration for painters and an eldorado for fishing and outdoors recreation, hiking, swimming, skiing and so on.’ (pp.10-11)

Mathisen (1998, p.10) states that with great certainty, it can be said that not many cities, neither in Norway or elsewhere, has a river like Mesna running right outside the front door! Diploma Project - Marius Løkken Skogvang

LILLEHAMMER IS a small city in Oppland county, inland Norway, founded in 1827 and with roughly 27,000 inhabitants. Lillehammer is the regional centre for Oppland, and most of the county’s administrative and public services are located here. Nationally and internationally, Lillehammer is know for having hosted the 1994 Winter Olympics. Furthermore, Lillehammer is known as the ‘winter city’, with large amounts of hiking areas, and being close to several winter sports destinations (Eidsiva, 2012).

‘Oil Shadow’ THE CONTEXT of Lillehammer is one of a small city, a regional centre in a region which is struggling. While most of Norway has experienced tremendous economic growth since the 1970s, inland Norway has lagged behind. This development has been termed the ‘oil shadow’, describing areas of Norway which have been disconnected from the economic boom of the offshore economy.

‘The Oil Shadow’

The reality of inland Norway, and Oppland County in particular is one of dwindling local societies, with low to negative population growth and economic stagnation. In the midst of this is Lillehammer, one of few strongholds in the region that can maintain a moderate growth, and to a certain degree manages to push parts of the region upwards.

THE MESNA RIVER is one of the most important natural elements in the city, and in the highland areas of Nordseter and Sjusjøen. The Mesna corridor also makes for the most important east/west-connection in the city, running from the forest, through the city and down to lake Mjøsa. The river creates an organic contrast to the strong, geometric urban structure in the centre. This rupture in the urban fabric can, and should be, developed to become a unique experience for the town.

In the upper parts of the river there are valuable and varied natural areas, such as calm ponds, small waterfalls and rich wetlands. Swimming occurs in several places along the river. ‘Badedammen’ and ‘Kanalen’ are the main spots, maintained for swimming by the municipality.

A Thin Corridor

THE RIVER runs through the core of the city. The corridor is considerably wider at the top and bottom, and becomes thinner as it goes through the city centre, but is the only major green corridor to make its way into the city with some coherence. The topography is varied, shifting between deep ravines and more flat parts, with the river valley widening towards the lake.

Heritage

IT BEGAN with mills — The earliest account for utilisation of Mesna comes from 1442, when the farms of the are aused it to power their mills. Until 1806 mills of various kinds, and also som factories, started clustering around the river. These buildings formed the first pieces of what is now the city centre, and its lifelong relationship with Mesna started developing its physical form (Mathisen, 1998). During the 1900s the river held its position as the main livelihood of the town, supplying thousands of jobs for the local people through a range bussineses. Gudbrandsdalen Wool Factory is still going strong, and still uses water from Mesna in its production through the outflow from the power station.

TODAY, Mesna has more historic interest than direct, pratical use for the inhabitants in Lillehammer. But once, the river was the source of life in Lillehammer, and hydopower was most important. Mesna gave great power to waterwheels and later turbines, which ran stamps, mills and later a large industrial sector. Today, most of the water runs through a tunnel from the water intake at Kroken, under the city and into the underground power station, and down to the Lake Mjøsa. Twice a year however, evidence of old greatness can be witnessed, when the floodgates are opened to clean the watercourse (Lillehammer.com, 2014).

WHILE THE Mesna river is important for recreation in Lillehammer, this is mostly limited the areas outside of the city. Within the built up area the river is largely unused, occasionally glimpsed or heard.

By creating new recreational spaces in the urban core, creating a more livable and attractive dense inner city. It can also bring recreation and nature experiences to a wider range of people that would not otherwise go for a hike along the river outside of the city, and create new attractive routes for walking and biking, for commute or leisure. 29

Heritage Rediscovering an old identity for the future

WITH THE Winter Olympics, a new identity was branded on Lillehammer. While the city long had been known as a sports destination, the Olympics launched Lillehammer on the world stage, as an important winter sports city. Ever since, the city has lived on the Olympic success. In recent years the optimism, progress and finances have started to dwindle however, and the city is wavering in search of a new driving force. Mathisen, 1995, p.33

Past

Future?

Rooms & Ravines - Recovering Mesnaelva

Much of Lillehammerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditional identity is linked to the river, both for industrial, recrative and symbolic reasons. The growth of Lillehammer was based around Mesna, and it has been defining factor for the city and still is. Enhancing and strenghtening the connection to the river can help continuing and heightening the awareness of Mesna as a defining factor in the city.

Most of the old industrial buildings are protected to retain the industrial character of the river. The tale of industrial heritage is not limited to the buildings however, an important part is in the river corridor itself. As the river corridor largely unaccessible, its industrial character remains largely hidden. Opening it up and increasing use will showcase the industrial heritage areas to more people.

Ecology Recovering lost ecologies

THE ECOLOGY of the river has been severly impacted by loss of waterflow due to regulation, but also by urban development disrupting the river corridor and landfill at the mouth of the river. This project sets as a premise that the minimum water flow is increased from 0.2m3/s to 0.6m3/s as suggested by NVE (Norwegian Water Directorate) will help the aquatic ecology to some degree. Image from Mathisen, 1998, p.18

(NVE,2013, p. 89)

By establishing a river park and expanding it into the surrounding urban context the river corridor is protected from increased development pressure and habitats expanded. Due to harsh conditions in the city centre there is little bird life, and establishing a wetland at the mouth of the river to attract the teeming wildflife from the LĂĽgen River delta can act as an ecological stepping stone to expand further into the city.

Diploma Project - Marius LĂ¸kken Skogvang

Densification New paradigm of focused development

ALONG THE river corridor there is ample space for developing both new residential and commercial areas. With a river park offering attractive recreational and public spaces, a densification process based around the river can create significantly better and more livable outcomes.

Image from Gd.no, 2014

Lillehammer is suffering from a lack of control over development, and much housing and even large areas of dense aparatment buildings are built far from the centre, contributing to increasing traffic volumes, compunding existing congestion and air pollution.

Steering development around a river corridor allows for creating quality living areas that reduce car traffic and become more attractive simultaneously, as well as giving a larger population base for a more living city centre.

City Centre Strengthening the city centre vitality

Frederik Collet, 1893 Mesna Bridge at Lilletorget

IN A TIME when many city centres are struggling in competition against shopping centres and car-centric developments, Lillehammerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main street has managed to keep much of itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vitality. The competition is tough however, but by strenghtening the link to the river and creating new and interesting relationships between city and river corridor in the urban centre, it can offer new experiences and activities that might take back some of the advantage the shopping centres currently hold. By using the river corridor as the backbone of development, the city centre will also benefit from an increased customer base.

THERE IS a range of different activities and areas existing around the river corridor which have little or no relation to the river today. In fact some of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important sporting, cultural and recreational as well as commercial and development areas are located right next or even across the river corridor. Despite this, they relate to the river minimally. Morover, the success of a river park is dependant on connecting to these contexts. Due to the long and thin nature of the river corridor context becomes hugely important.

Concept Corridor Expansion 39

DUE TO the disconnected nature of the river corridor, and the many different situations it is embededded in, yet disonnected from, a strategy to expand the river corridor into the city and draw city life into the river corridor has been devised. This huge latent potential is one of the most important aspects in introducing a river park. Much of the activity is already there, and can be used to make a powerfull urban common activity space rapidly.

ALONG THE river there are numerous green and other spaces that are currently floating in the urban landscape, disconnected, unused, left over. Altogether this space adds up to a considerable opportunity for a coherent blue-green corridor throughout the city, a new central river park. Much of this space is located in central areas or otherwise has huge potential for the future development of the city. It also serves as potential for the only connection green connection from the forests above to the lake below, and can significantly alter the urban landscape. 40

Local Interventions for a River Park

TO TACKLE the various issues and complexities along the river, the corridor was examined on the very local level. By going into the particular contexts and different sites it allowed for a deeper examination of the river potential, tackling individual problems that might otherwise have gotten lost in the overall picture, and to really discover the different contexts within which the river is situated.

From this exploration of potential, an index of ninety-seven different interventions were catalogued to serve as a starting point for design explorations.

Better access to the hotel is desirable, to make tourists aware of Mesnaelva and its qualities and make it a natural path between the city centre and Olympic venues. Mesna has potential to be a resource for tourism.

New connection to Radisson Blu Hotel

Awareness of Fossvegen trail Fossvegen is an old trail continuing along Mesna. It is the main path on from Badedammen, but is slightly hidden and can be improved for coherence and easier wayfinding.

Upgraded Badedammen A traditional spot for swimming, it has lost much of its activity and function from its heyday. A worn structure is the only thing left. Badedammen has considerable potential as a public water space with a quality upgrade.

Better integration with Stampesletta Stampesletta is the main sports area in town, but the connection to the river is not obvious. Opening up the river corridor to the sports area and creating a natural soft-transportation route through the upper parts of the city can bring more activity into the river corridor.

Upgraded park area Large green that is little used. Potential for more activity that can also help create a natural bridge between Badedammen and Stampesletta.

Entrance point to urban river Creating a transition zone between Badedammen and the forest, and the urban river corridor. Highlighting the corridor towards Badedammen and Sigrid Undsets veg to make it more visible and inviting, drawing people in and making the notice..

New river trail To make the river corridor more accessible, inviting and attractive. To create a better connection along the river corridor to the city centre. To make a starting point for a hike up to the forest in the middle of the city.

Improved path on north side of river Secondary path along the river on the north side, connection to the residential area and to badedammen. A smaller path that is existing today but should be improved to make more accessible and attractive.

Highlighting power station entrance New power station entrance. Appears as a parking garage today. Should be highlighted as only remaining infrastructure in use for power production today. Potential in conjunction with new public space and hydropower / heritage focus

Viewpoint + exhibition space A great building in perfect location. The waterfall and dam are beautiful and worth highlighting. Also perfectly located on conjunction of river trail and new public space.

Potential development Two single family houses right next to city centre

Potential development Plot next to road that today is only planted with bushes.

Upgraded green tangent Appears private, unimaginative. Not very inviting connection to the river and walkway. Connects to large community green space which is of bland quality.

The river is rich in heritage and identity for the city. This is one of the most important spots, plus there is a large space connected to river

Transversal axis to river

New path under bridge Much better access between city centre and power station. Follows river where old penstock ran.

Upgraded facilities for pedestrians Car dominated space along river, badly facilitated for pedestrians.

Development and corridor tangent Plans for development, old building mass. New development in central location that can secure a continuation of Gamlevegen / Nordsetervegen into the river corridor, a new transversal access that is not very good today.

Development and extension of Lilletorget The firestation is to be moved and the current plot is prime land in the middle of the centre. Large open areas for densification and old building mass that can be converted.

New development Large car park that has plans for development with underground car park. Should relate to river and maintain access

Upgraded courtyard Courtyard off Elvegata. Can be a good space to bring more activity adjacent to the river corridor and more green into the central city.

Large space facing the river used for car parking. Little attractive for people. Should be upgraded while retaining car parking. Many workplaces in area which use them

New development Large hole in the city structure. Prime land for densification in the very centre of town. Can benefit from connection to river.

River appears as overgrown, unattractive. Little water, channelised and unmaintiained.

Green street Direct connection created to river corridor, one of few city centre locations where it is possible to extend green function out into the city.

Car dominated space along river, badly facilitated for pedestrians.

Upgraded courtyard Existing microbrewery in courtyard. Large spatial potential and potential for better access to river.

A potential staircase for direct connection between Lilletorget and river

New square One of the city’s main square. Has been defined as the absolute centre of the city in recent public debate. Is in an extremely bad condition such a central space. Has important historical ties with the river that should be re-established.

New space around Møllestua By creating a small urban square relating to an existing cafe and gallery in Møllestua more life and activity can be drawn into the river corridor. Important heritage space.

Green street Better integration with river corridor will be created by opening up Terrassen, but this also opens up the possibility for creating a greener arm into the centre.

New ramp down to river To finish off the connection between the main street and the river. Will be a great experience to step down into the river corridor, past old brick walls with the waterfall infront of you.

New Bropark The current park is little used and with bad relation to the river. New park can be more inviting and expand into river corridor.

Integration of park with river space Stretch of the river corridor with existing path that goes nowhere. An extension of the Broparken into this space will open up the river and the waterfall to much greater use and enjoyment

Under-bridge space Large space under the bridge of Kirkegata. Can be opened up towards Broparken to create a seamless transition down to river and be a great space in itself. Good space for cultural events. Can also create a step down to river.

Transversal axis / urban green way This street hits directly on river corridor and has great development potential on either side and at the end. Can be a green connection to the river and the start of a green corridor towards Nordre Park

Renew Terrassen as a public space A fantastic space overlooking the river corridor. Has enormous potential as an urban green space and access point to the river corridor

Upgrading of Brubakken Will be main route for new development at Lurhaugen + Post office. Courthouse located on street, important function. Better relation to the river

Pedestrianisation Close Elvegata, and by extension Lilletorget, for car traffic past terrassen to create a larger and more attractive river space in conjunction with terrassen

Steps down to water table A great way to connect Lilletorget with the river, by moving existing bus stop and stepping down to the river, creating a nice seating area with great sun conditions, opening up the very channelised river through the upper parts of the centre.

Waterfall viewpoint To experience the waterfall and fantastic space of the river corridor in the middle of the city. Part of a new ‘Bropark’

Extension of Gågata The street is part of the popular shopping street, and there have been motions to make it pedestrianised as well. Buss traffic should perhaps be retained

Infill A block with many nice old buildings but also big holes. Should be interesting for densification purposes with extremely central location

Design Statement

THE PROJECT seeks, at the basic level, to reconnect the city with Mesnaelva.

Through exploring the local potential in the very local situations and particulars along the river, it seeks to open up the neglected river corridor. By taking the local potentials and orchestrating them into a greater whole, the project allows residents and visitors to relate to the river in new ways. These new relations can take the form of new paths, urban spaces or densification, or new visual or physical connections to the water. But it can also be a mere feeling of proximity to the corridor when moving through the city, the sensing of a pulsing artery. To achieve this, an ‘urban commons’ is proposed, a linear park where the river breaks through the urban fabric. Along this park, four ‘rooms’ can ground the corridor in the existing context, anchoring the thin park. In between the rooms you experience a ravine-like landscape, where the river has broken through bedrock and city alike.

Rooms & Ravines - Recovering Mesnaelva

By starting from the respect for the place and from the dialogue with the existing, the four rooms proposes enhancements of the urban landscape and the river corridor, and a new grounding of the city around Mesna. All four are based on existing conditions that have lost their connection to the river or the city, or both.

densification or regeneration. The river park adds recreational and visual qualities to the central city that opens for more densification and better living quality. It opens up the urban recreational landscape for others than healthy adults; for children and elders, but also otters and trout.

An old outdoor swimming spot is given new life; a power station is telling the story of the city’s industrial past; a derelict outdoor restaurant is transformed to connect city centre and main street with the river; and a landfill is reclaimed as river delta.

The river park project is focused on creating a high quality river space through the urban core, and reorient the city towards its most important water body. It can make the city more attractive and lively, with the river corridor as a life source for the city as it once was. It can also help in re-establishing ecological habitats devastated by regulation, developments and filling, and protecting the remaining ones.

Between these rooms, paths and small interventions open up the river corridor to more active use, while small spaces and interventions bring the city into the river and the river into the city. Another layer on top of the river park, is the densification potential in the urban core. Along and in relation to the river corridor are large areas of potential development,

Most importantly, it is a framework for how the river corridor is conceptualised as a part of the city of Lillehammer, and how it can be a guiding principle in it’s future development.

Terrassen Orchestration THE PLAN is an orchestration of the list of potentials that have been identified, taking ideas, principles and suggestions, and arranging them to achieve strategic goals along the river corridor. By way of the river corridors thin and long nature, individual interventions can have a great effect in the immediate context. The project therefore does not depend on a full and simultaneous realisation, but can be completed in many stages or in small steps. This plan is one interpretation of how it may look when a river park has been developed. This may take 5, 10 or 50 years, depending on municipal finances, private investment or planning

related issues. The most imporant contribution of this project is the conceptualisation of a coherent river park including hard and soft spaces alike - a river corridor that can serve as a guiding principle for Lillehammerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future development. Together with the list of potentials, the plan may serve as a roadmap for municipal development but also public-private partnerships. As the spaces around the river is developed, private developers may contribute to the river park development, for mutual benefit. Diploma Project - Marius LĂ¸kken Skogvang
