STRATEGIES FOR THE FUTURE

CHARACTER OF THE SITE

A RECREATION TERMINAL

By 1950 most of the smaller wooden houses are replaced with the new blocks built in the Governor’s style, stone base ad wooden facades for the upper floors.

This project was about renovating a tram terminal, its first part built in 1918 and its south extension in 1947.This building characterizes the area, for which there should be proposed a renewal pro-gramme.

From traffic terminal, to a recreationterminal with urban neighbourhood

qualities.

Mental connection to Klippan - artistic character.

Strengthen identity of the area.

Create new spatial hierarchies.

Make park the neighbourhood centre and create smaller courtyards.

Create a flea market and recreation space.

New residential typologies and business spaces.

Wooden buildings along Karl Johansgatan

Today the inner court-yards of the Storgårds blocks seem to be quite protected from the busier streets around

Sandarna was planned by Uno Åren and G. Sundbårg and developed between 1938-1949 in 4-storey buildings over the hill, with residences, facilities and a school.

exploded views of GS-hall

The area has a highly industrial character. The Fix factory, built in 1947, and the GS-hall, built in 1954 frame Bruksgatan.

0. Present organisationThe building’s use as tram hall requiers long wings with openings on the narrow sides.

1. Pedestrian streetTrying to simulate the scale of the surrounding blocks in the tram hall, we propose an internal pedestrian-part that will cut the building in two parts, connecting Älvsborsgatan to the new residential area.

2. Sliding volumesThe volumes,hosting different func-tions, slide to create an open atri-um or niches on the facades. This helps different functions to be more easily identified while highlighting the old structure, by recessing the new from the old.

3. Further volumetric divisionWhere needed, bigger volumes are divided into smaller ones, that can function and be heated individually.

and open spaces.

Site

The decision to preserve the entirety of the Tram hall and part of the Fix Factory suggests that we should compensate investors with a dense residential area in the open spaces in

between.

The area of Klippan on one side, with differ-ent scales and styles in its buildings and open

spaces, and Lilienberg’s plan for Kungsla-dugard with the enclosed courtyards in the

middle of each housing block were references we tried to combine.

Our proposal uses the average size of Lilieberg’s courtyard module but instead of

enclosing it inside a closed residential block, we allow visual and pedestrian connections. Buildings can be developed almost randomly in order to frame each courtyard core. What

is more, public paths can have access to successive courtyards, forming a network of

public streets and open spaces.

13

Approach #3New functions exceed in height the original

ceiling.

more levelsDifferent floors and

height allow multiple perspectives to the

old structure and the interior space.

Approach #1New functions are designed as smaller volumes under the

original tram hall roof.

Approach #2New functions occupy

the whole height of the tram hall up to the

original ceiling.

+

Existing layers and additions

Establish a network for pedestrians

Additional volume to host scene installations.

An open space in the center can be a protected break and the heart of an internal network of pedestrian streets installed in the

former tram hall. We want the regenerated tram hall to be a place of public life and an intersection

of pedestrian routes during the day, so it is crucial to keep them uninterrupted.

Despite the cold winter climate in the area, narrow open air streets can still attract pub-

lic life if wind protection is predicted.

Restoration of the original roof and skylights.

New skylight roof for the internal street.

New lighter steel frame additions contrast with

the heavy original masonry structure.

Transformation of non loadbearing parts of

the brick walls to place entrances and treat

them more as a canvas than a border.

New glass facades to divide the spaces are positioned at a distance from the brick walls,

also creating individually heated rooms.

Pillar system under the roofs is redesigned to host functions

such as the auditorium, provide space for mechanical equipment (scene) and techni-

cal systems.

Openings on the masonry walls

The vertical street that can be also used as a flea market on week-

ends is covered by a ceiling with sky windows that can be opened

during summer.The new structure’s surface is cov-ered by perforated metal sheets,

making it distinguishable and lighter than the original masonry

walls of the tram hall.

By removing parts of the existing metal floor layer we can have an extra 1,5 meter in height

beneath the current zero level. An external ramp can give access to courtyards for the workshops, and

while keeping them completely visible from the public eye, the height difference offers some

degree of privacy.

We identified the long mason-ry walls as main parts of the tram hall’s identity. however,

at the same time their longitude distorts the overall scale of the area and creates uninteresting and long facades for the pe-destrians and the future users. At the same time, extended parts of the brickwork need

replacement.

Thus, openings on the masonry walls that are not load bearing can be proposed, in order toincrease visibility from inside out and in reverse, bring in

direct natural light.

Design and Planning for Social Inclusion

Phase twoBut how can we improve each function? In this stage we worked with scenarios,sketches and

workshops, talking to stakeholders and contacting experts. From this whole process we understood

that the whole floor of the pool needed to be reno-vated and that allowed us change the positions of

the functions within the building.

Phase threeCrucial steps of design:

_Make the entrances more inviting_Add an extension that you can see from the square_Redesign functions if that could make them better_Work with memory of the building_Show a change, that also symbolizes the time_Make some changes that connect the residents_Technical aspects of renovation

diagramme of working process

Hammarbadet was built 1972 and is in need of renovation, owing to its poor state, having had only minor fixings through its lifetime.

Even though the building is well used, it is threatened by closing by the politicians, who postoponed to make an final decision until the elections.

An extensive leakage from the pool and the showers compels the building renova-tion. We believe that hammarbadet has a major role to play in hammarkullen.

The buildingThe pool is important for kids, women and older people.Since the pool is a training pool (L 17, W 12 and D 0.8-

1.2 m) it is good for learning how to swim. Given thatAngered municipality has the lowest ability to swim in

Gothenburg, hammarsbadet can be seen as an importantasset for teaching people how to swim.

3.Reversed placing of the functions

2.Re-arranging the functions1.The building as it is today

The bath is also important for women who come from allover Gothenburg to swim and socialize. This is made possible

because there is an evening for women only, whichmeans that women can participate who otherwise

would not be able to due cultural reasons.

Both men and women use the gym. It fulfills an importantfunction for young men as a free zone where they cantrain, socialize and relate to a feeling of belonging.

Mixgården is important for the youth of hammarkullen.It is perhaps the only place where they can hang out.

In Mixgården the youths can socialize, develop and getguidance from the staff.

19

plan of first floor

In the new design the first floor accommodates the entrance to the gym and the pool with shared

changing rooms and secretary.The new gym continues with training rooms to the basement, with which the entrance hall connects

through a whole on the ground.

The second floor serves as an entrance level for the youth center. here a small cafe and a study place are put in direct relevance with the outside space. A multiuse hall is put in the middle of the plan, being able to expand to a veranda in the

warmer months.

Mixgården continues on the last floor, where a main hang out area is placed forming outside a new volume protruding from the rest of the build-ing over the staircas, highlighting the entrance to the floor underneath. Moreover, on this level the offices, the playrooms and a workshop are

located.

section S01

The pool, gym and Mixgården can also be viewed from abroader perspective. They can be seen as an expression

of that hammarkullen is part of Gothenburg and thepeople in hammarkullen are included in society. In suchan approach, it is easy to put the new facility AngeredArena as a competitor. In our project, we believe thatthey are not in competition against each other, but that

they rather complement each other.

21

The old concrete structure is highlighted by recessing the walls from the ceiling on the gym - pool spaces. Moreover, the changing rooms act as a buffer zone from the entrance to the

area of the pools.

The new pool has double height, gaining like this better proportions as a room. Additionally, the initial attribute of the corner windows sur-rounding the pool is kept, brightening the hall but on the same time, since the pool level has

moved down one floor, there is no longer prob-lem with the visibility from the nearby buildings. Besides the training pool, a new smaller one is placed next to it to serve a warm swimming facility and a sauna - hamam, providing more

variety.

Thesis Project

location: Centre of Fira, island of Santorinicollaboration: Pinelopi Vasilaki, Anastasia Vertetouri, Anna ChazapiHost: NTUA School of ArchitectureYear: 2011 - 2012, Semester 10 Tutor: Stavros Stavridis

Multilayered square in Fira, Santorini

Our project-thesis focuses on the design of a network of open spaces and multiple functions at the center of Fira. This proposal attempts to link two conflicting

sides of the town: the cosmopol-itan cliff side and the neglected

residential area that serves as the “backyard”.

By studying scale-size, the relationship between public and private spaces and the current func-tions in these two areas we acquire valuable information so as to achieve a connection be-tween the fragmented regions and thus restore

the relationship between:

1. public space and its users

2. locals and tourists

Creating this network we assign new features to open spaces that currently remain unused. This enables the tourist to inhabit the town’s

“backyard” and gives locals the opportunity to experience public space more effectively.

24

25

The backbone-axis of the multilayered square organizes the basic functions through a system of spatial folds. The island’s urban and natural vocabulary thus translates to the interweaving

of open and enclosed spaces.

The main pedestrian route that follows the central axis descends from the tourist part of the town and sinking beneath the main road

meets a tourist information kiosk. Then it passes through an exhibition area focused on the histo-ry of Fira, exits and continues in the residential part of the town. This route is framed by a sys-tem of walkways, plazas and additional uses such as a wine-tasting bar, winery and cafe.
