The municipality of Helsingborg, in Sweden, chose Schonherr and Adept Architects as winners of the planning competition with their proposal entitled the Tolerant City. Their contextual project will add value to its urban environment by creating a new identity and exploring the future possibilities for Helsingborg.
More on the project after the break.
Inherent wishes for proximity to water, sustainable design, and meeting places to connect the diverse population of the province, were key elements in the early design stages of the project. The structure plan was created not only thinking about how the project could influence the site currently, but what its potential to the site will be when the city grows and is fully formed. In this way, although the framework has exact objectives, the plan offers developmental potential where the users can effect the transformation.
City squares and recreational areas facilitate the coexistence of a wide variety of people. Martin Krogh from Adept stated, “The motor mechanics, the skaters, the designers and the clandestine lovers all belong in The tolerant City, where low rent, little workshops, commerce without invoices, and experimental reuse of buildings create growth areas and nonconformist milieus.”
