Introduction

Foreword During the autumn term of 2018, the students at Lund University, School of Architecture participated in the advanced course ‘Sustainable Urban Recycling’ (ASBN 02) and its complementary theory course ‘Urban Recycling - Theory and Methods’ (ASBN 06), focused on redevelopment of the former harbor area in Ystad.

The aim of the design course was to develop the students’ skills in designing strategic visions for sustainable built environments through the process of urban transformation.

The theme was explored throughout the semester in seminars, guest lectures, and project tutorials with the goal that each student presents a site specific proposal for sustainable transformation of the Ystad Harbor in the city of Ystad, Sweden.

As part of the course and design process, the class was involved in a four days study workshop in Amsterdam, Netherlands, where the students explored possibilities of adapting, transforming and developing urban areas in a sustainable way.

Throughout the studio-based course, the students were encouraged to engage in exploring various aspects of sustainability, identifying site problems and potentials, and suggesting opportunities for refining urban components. They were guided to find their own meaning in the terms ‘recycling’ and ‘sustainability’ when re-designing the harbor in Ystad. The design intention was to integrate a comprehensive strategy, design guidelines and tools for transforming the area into a sustainable urban structure that promotes attractiveness for the everyday life of both visitors and local residents.

The design process was separated into several parts - analysis, strategy and individual design - combing both the group and individual work of the students.

The design studio resulted in 37 unique projects in which students challenged conventional ideas and tools of sustainability, preparing and supporting the process of urban transformation in Ystad. The following pages are a summary of the course structure and

Introduction

Course Outline Sustainable Urban Recycling The studio Sustainable Urban Recycling marks the 1st semester of the master’s program. The aim is to challenge the students to start building on their previous skills and learn to design strategic visions for sustainable built environments with reference to current international trends. This is primarily achieved by carrying out an advanced design assignment, supported by theoretical and practical knowledge in the form of series of seminars and lectures. In parallel the students have to describe, analyze and evaluate urban structures, networks, contexts and development strategies from architectural, ecological, humanist and socio-economic perspectives.

The course emphasizes street oriented development, which provides access to shops, service and residential dwellings from typical streets, pathways or sidewalks. What makes strolling down a particular street enjoyable? Street oriented urban design focuses on mixeduse development and a pedestrian-friendly network with regards to the human scale and perception of transparency. Street designs in urban and suburban areas can hold high complexity. If properly arranged, they can add identity and visual interest, make public spaces more inviting and safe, and help create a sense of place.

During the semester the students’ attention focused on analyzing urban life, urban streets and networks within the site in order to be able to propose valid urban recycling strategies.

The semester aspirations were to investigate, interpret and develop the character of the former Ystad harbor area from an undefined industrial site into an integrated social and transportation hub of the city. The intention was to boost up the Ystad municipality plan by reinventing the role of the harbor as an important and key driver for future development.

Four themes formed the toolbox of the design studio: Connect, Generate, Mix and Share used as guidelines during the process. The perceived vision was that the life in Ystad should

include all the aspects of a sustainable city and more.

Design Site Ystad Harbor, Ystad, Sweden The design studio Sustainable Urban Recycling focused on a design site located in the city of Ystad. The water front of the city is dominated by a harbor area, which has been an important economical driver of the city. In recent years some parts of the area has been cleared, other harbor facilities will be moved in the future, and the city now has a possibility to connect its center to the water again.

To explore how and with what can the site be transformed to become livable and unified part of the city was the task for the Autumn of 2018.

Introduction

Working Process Course Structure The semester was divided into 3 phases: Analysis, Strategy and Individual Design. The working process was completed with the final presentations on December 11th and 12th 2018, where students individually presented their work to invited professionals. The final part concluded the semester and provided the students with a chance to improve and reflect upon their work. This structure allowed them to focus on specific components of the projects as well as to get feedback on a consistent basis, while working both in groups and individually.

The first weeks of the semester consisted of group work, where teams of students analyzed different segments of the Ystad’s cityscape. In the second phase students took the initial analysis and developed a sustainable strategy for how the city might be developed in the future. The third phase of the semester focused on individual work, where each student translated the larger scale visions into specific designs of the harbor area. In this last stage the students developed their designs further, illustrating how their proposals contribute to a healthier, sustainable and lively Ystad. Each of the three phases ended with student presentations to a jury that examined their progress and helped push their ideas forward.

With the guest critics’ comments and the weekly tutorials, the individual proposals grew in depth and detail in an attempt to tackle the challenges posed by the site and the four themes of the course.

In addition, this year’s study trip took the students to Amsterdam, Netherlands. There the group gained insight into how the city has regenerated old industrial areas and how the layers of time have built on its character.

Introduction

Working Process Phase I Analysis The first assignment of the Design Project was an analytical exercise. For three weeks the students engaged in group work and critically investigated the study area in order to gain an understanding of its nature and occurring processes. The main focus was to explore how the site is connected to the rest of the city. What are the layers shaping the character of the area? What is the relation between the edge of the urban waterfront and the public realm?

What are the main issues and potentials for the site and how a plausible re-fabrication can contribute to the ongoing development of Ystad?

By looking at the city’s collection of solids and voids, by comparison of scales, and by exploring different vantage points, the class gained insight into the physical, social, ecological and economical aspects of the given area. They identified key spaces within the site, mapped major urban flows, meeting points, functional nodes, landscape features, public-private relations and historically charged urban elements. The importance of the site’s location in relation to the future tram link was a vital aspect, guiding the whole analysis process.

Through this extensive research potential sustainability strategies and questions could be raised for the Ystad harbor and the city itself. The outcome of this phase created the base for

the next students’ endeavor - the site strategy.

Introduction

Working Process Phase II Sustainable Strategy The second phase of the Design Project focuses on sustainable vision and strategy. This is an important phase, which sets the fundamental base for the future development and direction of the design proposals. It is during this chapter that the opportunities and potentials of the site are revealed, explored and tested. All the decisions students make here should set a foundation for their future visions and design processes.

The brief asked from the students to reflected on the previously carried out analysis and to develop a comprehensive and holistic vision for the future transformation of the Ystad harbor area and the city. What are the strategies that ensure the success of the students’ visions and how can they be implemented in a conscious way? How will these strategies influence the time frame while at the same time carefully capturing the character of the site and its context?

The key themes that we believe each of the students should strive to follow while developing their sustainable strategies are as follows:

1.Connect When developing the Ystad harbor, it is important to transform the existing infrastructure into an urban network that joins the districts of the city together. It is about finding ways to break down existing barriers and create new ways, new structures of mobility and new patterns of movement that will generate innovative ways to live, work and visit the area.

2.Generate What is needed in order to create places and spaces that attract people from the different parts of the city?

What are the ways to reclaim the Ystad harbor by opening-up spaces and possibilities for generators - a building, an event, a temporary intervention, a new spatial condition, etc.? This will expand the cultural and recreational landscape and contribute to a more united city.

Sustainable Urban Recycling

3+4.Mix and Share

16

Find urban forms that support, diversify or enrich the programming in and around the Ystad harbor. “Mix� refers to the overall aim of creating urban areas with new urban experiences in Ystad. The perspective of re-thinking the Ystad harbor brings new possibilities for the introduction of a mix of activities, functions and uses - leading to a diversity of cultures, people, and lifestyles. Introducing new activities along the coastline will contribute to a transformation of the surrounding districts.

Phase III Strategic Plan The aim of the third phase of the Design Project is to tell a detailed and holistic story for rethinking the site into an integrated part of Ystad. Attention is directed to the human scale, the multiple aspects of sustainability, and the site’s unique context. The goal is to create a new urban area with updated urban experience and a focus on both the public realm and the proposed quality of urban fabric.

In this stage the students mobilize all their strength and channel it into exploratory work (on paper and in model form) in order to develop and push forward the knowledge they have accumulated in the previous phases. Each of them builds up a narrative that unfolds itself through a complete set of compelling architectural drawings and images, and thus indulging the audience into the storytelling.

Introduction

Study Trip Amsterdam, The Netherlands As a part of the study plan the students took a study trip to Amsterdam and had the chance to get inspired from the different qualities of the city’s urban landscape and its specific way of dealing with sustainability, re-cycling and up-cycling.

During the study trip the group gained insight into the Dutch philosophy of working with urban fabric recyclables through visiting a number of relevant urban design projects and through having lectures from local urban design practitioners. The accumulated observations from the study trip became a platform for their discussions. As an on-site assignment they had to reflect on and analyze, evaluate and describe urban areas of interest for their future work.

The most important questions discussed during the study trip were:

How the layers of time have formed spatial qualities in the city? How places are given form and how they invite everyday life? How does mixing, adding on and isolating different urban elements and details create the diversity of Amsterdam today? How to adapt city to the future challenges of the climate change? How to propose new urban areas which would promote social and economic sustainability? How to accommodate the sustainable means of transportation in an existing urban environment? What is the “right” density in the city

and why does density matter?

The aim of the Individual phase of the Design Project is to tell a holistic story and design a sensitive, detailed plan for development of the Ystad harbor.

The constraints and potentials that were identified in the previous stages of analysis and strategy are now to be turned into physical spaces, bound by real dimensions and site-specific performances. Thus, the students’ visions for Ystad’s urban transformation naturally came to be concrete proposals as a result of the extensive research base from which they could be pulled up.

The reader of this booklet is invited to enduldge into the following pages in order to witness a brief collection of the graduate projects. It is our hope that all of the students tireless

The visions lie within the development goals, as a way to align them with the interests of global sustainable development.

The main four aspects that form my strategy are; connections, blue and green aspects, sea level rise and public spaces.

In Ystad, there are four main points this proposal deals with; protection from climate change, connections, green and blue and human values / urban qualities.

The most important strategy is how to make the green and blue structure as natural elements in the new area that I design as dense as possible, since the lands that Ystad is surrounded by are lush and rich, as well as connect the designed area with the city and integrate it by having clear connections and build new public spaces with different activities and qualities that help in attracting the people to be there In the other hand, creating a green areas plays a huge role along with the green roofs and balconies to feel the sustainability and qualities that are proposed as well as recycling the roof water by having small canals along the area to end up in the sea.

Ystad has a lot of potential to become an important node in Skane region due to the railway and the port, as well as it’s growing fast and that all lead to the need of new housing areas. In the other hand also lies a challenge. The old industry, the railroad and port facilities within the harbour, contribute to a separation between the city and the ocean.

Although the water can contribute to the life of the city, sea levels rise can on the other hand become a devastating factor in the future.

OVERALL SITE PLAN

“For Ystad, rising sea levels are an opportunity to invite and

Sustainable Urban Recycling

connect with the sea.”

28

Inspired by Ystad’s built heritage, green links, walkable streets and a network of public spaces, this project proposes to build on these qualities to connect Ystad with the sea.

Ystad’s harbour provides opportunities to connect regionally significant ecology and extend Ystad’s existing green links. Biodiversity corridors, embraced by built form, allow residents and visitors can interact daily with urban ecology.

Instead of fighting rising sea levels, Ystad’s harbour invites the sea. These biodiversity corridors are allowed to flood, carving an archipelago out of Ystad’s harbour. This creates a dynamic landscape where public spaces and green corridors transform as sea levels rise and storm surges become commonplace. This also minimises the amount of land-filling required whilst protecting buildings.

To overcome the railway barriers, the project also replicates existing patterns of Ystad’s public space network as the basis of a new urban structure for the harbour. This project proposes an upgraded Sankt Knuts Torg, a new station plaza and a strengthened Hamngatan and Hamngtorget as three major link opportunities to integrate the harbour and town seamlessly.

Existing buildings tell the story of Ystad’s history. Recycling many of the industrial heritage buildings for new uses strengthens Ystad’s identity and history for future generations.

Minimising construction waste also contributes to the overall sustainability of the project, and enables us to engage more creatively in the way we use the built environment.

Ystad used to be connected to the sea but the industrial harbor development divided the city from the water. In my project i tried to propose some themes to make the water accessible for the city people so that they can again meet the sea.

After doing site analysis it seems to me that Ystad have lots of potentiality to become an important gate of Skona but it has some limitations such as lack of green ,diversity, recreational activity,poor connection and after being a harbor area it has limitation to access water.

My vision is introducing some new design functions in the new harbor which act as a magnet to bring diversity in new ystad. The aim is to create a softened,more human scale well connected,climate change resilient city where people can live,play,work,visit and enjoy.

I have four strategies to make the coastline available for everyone. For direct access towards the harbor I proposed four major links. First one is square link from the medieval core down to the waterfront. Second one is cultural link,then green link and last one is elaborating existing overpass and turns it into a elevated urban park.

Re-using some existing building with some extensions that can help the longevity of the newly developed neighbourhood and it would be a place where people can relate to the historical identity of both Ystad and harbor itself.

Divers housing typology providing opportunity for urban farming as a form of roof garden,rain garden and terrace garden. It does not only creating a new source of economy but also improving urban physical environment,increasing biodiversity and retaining ground water.

32

By the year 2037, 25% of jobs within Sweden will have been disrupted by automation. Pleasure Town aims to provide an exciting, adaptive and evolving city, that purposes the coming automation as a facilitator of a prosperous and leisurely life.

The project was heavily influenced by Constant Nieuwenhuys’ project ‘’New Babylon’’, which proposed a futuristic singular structure in which people lived nomadically post automation. Pleasure Town proposes a situation where all jobs have been automated, and people are free to use their time as they please.

Ystad has a rich history of proposing new means of living and recreation due to technological inventions. In 1936 Ystad held ‘’Fritiden’’ exhibiting ways in which people could enjoy free time with the introduction of the 8 hour working day due to industrial advances.

Pleasure Town proposes a series of tiered modular structures that house

individuals, communal functions and public facilities. Without the stress of the 8 hour working day people will not feel the need to escape to large singular abodes. As such the project proposes small individual living quarters on the top floors with communal functions such as kitchens, community rooms, laundries located below with the ground plane retained for public functions.

The modular structures allow people to design and individualise their own small living quarters, with modularity also facilitating the introduction of automation to create fluid movement within the community. The proximity to the Ystad port allows automated industrial vehicles to move individual homes to other portions of the area.

Communities form thorough the open public facilities on the ground plane and solidify through the movement of homes to areas within the town. The movement of people creates a fluid and open community, shifting based on need and desire.

To make Ystad future ready; the aim is to create a diverse, creative and sustainable urban fabric. ¬With a green and creative economy as core drivers that inculcate healthful living, productive art and cultural landscapes, I aim to engage the local community, to be part of an international dialogue.

Along with coast line remediation, creation of ecological corridor, other blue-green structures are designed to

be a tangible aspect of everyday life, while supporting an urban farming community.

Various programs and infrastructure are designed to facilitate the working and living of creative professionals in tandem with locals on site. Here, culture and art could be seen as capital investment that would not only make Ystad an epicenter of great cultural production, but also place it on the national/ international map for future development.

Historically, Ystad has been known as a bustling port city for many centuries, providing free travel and trade across Europe. Over time however, the port has become increasingly disconnected, not only from the city itself but from its own identity as a major port in southern Sweden.

Today the waterfront exists in a state of disarray, with large areas in disuse. linking the harbor to the rest of the city and making the port a definite part of the whole city is an overall goal for the future. Three core values has been identified and has served as a guide through the process: Marine life, play, leisure & bath.

The goal is to create a structure that triggers the curiosity by variation of spatial sequences and reflects the medieval cultural heritage inherited in Ystad.

Connecting blue and green - A celebration of water with a blue and

green structure serving both the microclimate, stormwater management, aesthetic and playful values. There should be different ways to enjoy , learn and get down to the sea.

Meeting place for the whole of ystad Important when the city is growing is that the meeting between existing Ystad and the harbour district is perceived as obvious. Hamngatan and the station are the two obvious connections to the harbor. Here are public buildings with programs that activate the site. A new city bath is proposed as an extension of Hamngatan. The people of Ystad has for a long time attempted to obtain a new cold bathhouse in the city, and the proposal naturally means that this will be carried out at the new harbour of Ystad.

Ystad is a city touched by the sea.

Its history is connected directly to the harbor, and during the industrial development, the city has lost its direct connection to the water. Most of the harbor remain closed by fences defining the limits between public and private domain. The coastline is interrupted by industrial facilities, that once helped in Ystad economic development, but today is blocking the total access to the water.

The presence of the ocean is almost undetectable when you arrive at Ystad Central Station by train. Besides the sea scents, it is hard to realize that Ystad is a Coast City. Several studies reveal the proximity to the water and greenery can bring benefits for daily life.

The project aims to reconnect the city with the Baltic Sea, giving back the water identity and expand the greenery through the public domain.

The proposal has a set of five strategies: 1Create and enforce existing connections between the Harbor and the City 2- Build a promenade along shoreline without interruptions.

The unique cultural identity of Ystad does not link only to its historical medieval part, but also to its remote industrial harbour which is in the southern part of the city. These two visually divided parts shall connect and create a body, where one part of the city benefits from the other.

The proposal for the harbour area shall embody all the features that make Ystad such a charming and tourist attractive city. The existing network of curvy streets connected to cosy semiprivate courtyards enhance a feeling of curiosity and feeling to explore the city.

The concept of a new proposal shall bring into the neighbourhood not only characteristics of Ystad but shall represent a whole picture of the region as its unique location makes it the gate to Skåne.

There are three main axes that connect the old city and the harbour area today.

The green one linking the existing green belt and the marina, the cultural one leading from the medieval city to

the harbour and the third one which links schools and public beach in the southern part of the city. These three axes shall be connected by a link that embodies all the facilities for the future users of the city and represents different scenarios which are characteristic for the region. The narrator of a story of Skåne isa link of green and blue structure that connects all the public building and public spaces and bridge all the people. One of the focus points was to activate the water edge and create various activities that contribute to the creation of curiosity. Proposed design for the new harbour area is based on creation different types of spaces, from cosy semi-private courtyards and canals to boulevard streets and opened public spaces for markets and concerts.

To keep the industrial spirit of the site, some of the existing buildings are proposed to be kept and become public buildings or part of the public greenery to make sure, that citizens will meet the industrial part of the city.

benefits that are positive to

social, economic and environmental aspects.�

Verdant origins from the Latin word viridis which means green, lively and fresh. Verdant in this project focus on different kinds of greenery that correspond to basic human needs and the balance of biodiversity.

Instead of keeping the area as it is today, that would say mostly hard surfaces that creates a barrier, this project is supposed to, by adding a more verdant structure, head towards more sustainable approaches.

By analysing the site it came up clear that the harbour lacks in greenery and accessible, stimulating public spaces.

Most of the areas are lifeless and lacks in some kind of identity. Though the silos and the water contributed to a noticeable identity to the area, a redevelopment of the harbour should occur in respect to this significant elements.

In consonance to the overall concept of verdant, the strategy of connected, inclusive and healthy is supposed to contribute to a better understanding of what improved greenery and public spaces mean on site.

The harbour has negative impacts on a biodiversity aspect as it creates a barrier between green zones around Ystad.

Creating green corridors that connect the green zones could be a critical progress to improve biodiversity and recreational values.

“There’s no reason to talk about re-creating a green environment rather than creating a whole new green

environment.”

48

This project is much about the people of Ystad and their thoughts on the harbour.

People we spoke with during site visits kept repeating the same things - they wanted the harbour to be more green and they wanted somewhere to go swimming near the city centre. Despite this, almost all of the people we spoke with said they liked the harbour, and that it’s deeply connected to the identity of the city. Therefore, the question is much about what a new development can contribute to Ystad and its inhabitants.

The connection to water is maybe the most important. When the harbour was an industrial site, the connection to the sea got lost. Today, when the industry is moved further south, the central city can get reconnected with the sea again.

This is made possible by proposing public spaces along the waterfront.

The harbour should be able to propose activities for all four seasons. The same area can be used for ice skating in the winter and skateboarding in the summer.

Due to its industrial history, the harbour itself is a landfill. There’s no reason to talk about re-creating a green environment in the harbour rather than creating a whole new green environment. This can be done by planting trees. Pine trees are a part of the identity of Skåne’s coastline. By planting pines along Ystad harbour, the connection between Sandskogen in the East towards the Western Norra promenade the city also reconnects.

The identity of Ystad’s harbour will be the same but complemented with some new factors.

The main visions of the project are focusing around the themes Connectivity, Protection, Mobility. Some of the main aspects have been to address the strong disconnection between the harbor area and the main part of the city, protection against sea level rise, the large percentage of hard surfaces and how the overall mobility in the city can be improved. By widening the time frame to the year 2100, this project aim is to provide not only urban qualities in the near future but also more broad visions for the future development of Ystad.

Ystad have a lot of potential to become an important node in the Skåne region, and as this proposal will show also in a European context. The existing railroad and ferry connections are however limited in both reliability as well as in regards to passenger capacity and travel convenience. The old industrial area, the railroad and port facilities within the harbour also contribute to

a separation between the city and the ocean. Ystad has from a historical point of view always been closely connected to the water. A restoration of this could not only pay an homage to the city’s history, but also provide high quality urban places to the people. Although the water can contribute to the life of the city, rising sea levels can on the other hand become a devastating factor in the future.

The project has mainly focused on the restoration of natural landscapes as well as keeping a balance between new development and reutilization of old and existing structures. By combining these aspects of urban recycling, the aim is to promote sustainable lifestyles for the inhabitants as well as creating new urban values while giving back to both the city and the nature.

The vision of a protective shield is noting new to Ystad. The city has a history of defensive strategies, now those principles can be implemented in a contemporary challenge that many cities faces.

The shield is meant to protect Ystad from future devestation due to rising sea levels. But it is also closely related to the next vision...

During most of ystads lifespan, the city was directly connected to the waterfront. It is under the most recent period that the city has slowly drifted away from the water, due to the industiral harbour. This vision is about connecting the city once again to the ocean, as well as reconnecting and restoring the green and blue structures.

Today, the infrastructure in the area is in cases much oversized for the actual need. By turning some of the car-oriented roads into more people friendly, a better circualtion and mobility can be achieved. The railway however still plays an imortant role in this, despite being a big barrier to the harbour. But one shall not be intimidated to look into the near future and what new types of transportation that becomes available.

city, people, and animals.”

52

Reared from medieval heritage, Ystad, like many other cities around the world are experiencing major changes. These changes encompass population growth and loss to the climate and environment no longer meeting season expectations that were developed through decades and centuries. The renovation of the old industrial harbour aims to make the new extension of the city inclusive, connected, and healthy.

The proposed housing and office buildings for the area will be diverse in the sense of typology of the building and layout. This strategy will be used in hopes of making the area inclusive economically to reach people from different economic backgrounds.

Connection with the city is achieved through different means. Connection to the existing roads, connection using green with the existing green network of Ystad, and connection with water.

In every area of the new development

water is a prominent feature; the sea, pounds, and rainwater management.

These connections with the old city use destinations to draw people to the area and within the area.

The new harbour will also focus on the healthy aspects of the human and animal experience. In this way opportunities for physical activity throughout the seasons will be considered. Urban agriculture and botany is a concept that will be explored. The increased green network in the harbour will prompt a healthy environment for animals and humans.

Ystads harbour has many existing qualities, and this proposal works to highlight and strengthen these qualities.

The most prominent existing quality are the industrial buildings and railroads.

They give the area its character. Another existing quality is the microclimate, that even though it is harsh, can still be enjoyed. The ocean is of course another prominent existing quality, but it can become a threat. That is why this proposal also tries to work with the rising of the sea level and stormwater management. Lastly, this proposal adds new qualities to the harbour that were lacking before, like space and opportunity for biodiversity.

This proposal is built up out of eight layers, that together form the masterplan. The first layer is the existing elements in the harbour. The second layer addresses the threat of the rising seawater levels, and the stormwater. This is done by adding a rocky shore, and two islands in the opening of the bay. For

the stormwater management, rainwater gardens have been added, together with an open air stormwater basin. Layer three is the biodiversity, which is strengthened by using the railway as green corridor and the space created by the added islands. Layer four are the exposed public spaces that border the water.

These spaces allow for enjoying the wind and the wonderful ocean views. The fifth layer are the connections between the harbour and the existing city. The three exsiting connections are supplemented by a pedestrian bridge to the west. Layer six are the new built structures. They mostly consist of blocks, with a variety of typologies to create a diverse housing market. The seventh layer consist of the sheltered public spaces that are created by the new built structures. These give a nice and welcome contrast to the exposed public spaces along the water.

The eight and last layer are the different activities that can take place in these public spaces.

The Intermediate Place Harry Mantilla, Colombia

YSTAD 2018 - A MATTER OF SCALE CONCEPT

“...threshold; a hybrid and intermediate place composed of different levels of connection, both horizontal and vertical...�

Due to its strategic location, Ystad has been an important communication node between southern Sweden and northern Europe; therefore the urban and cultural development of the city has been linked to the activities that take place in the port and the train station.

Sustainable Urban Recycling

However, there is a paradoxical situation: the current port is a vast undefined area; functionally active as a exchange point but urbanely inert as a citizen reference; a boundary between the city and the sea.

56

The urban intervention of the port of Ystad, addresses these scales under the concept of threshold; a hybrid and intermediate place composed of different levels of connection, both horizontal and vertical, that contain landscape and architectural features.

Spaces that contain other spaces, from the regional scale to the human scale.

The elevated walkway is an element of connection and a new reference in the landscape. It physically reconnects the port with the historic city, linking the new occupational areas with the existing structures.

This new topography allows sustainable development over time. The imminent rise in sea level is assumed as a primordial element of the context, in this current proposal, designed in anticipation of future urban scenarios.

Ystad is a city where people can live with nature in many ways. It is important to create a place that not only encourage biodiversity grow alongside with human but also a space which can develop many life aspects such as environment, social, and economy.

Ystad need a new urban generator that lead to big improvements in the future, called by URBAN OASIS+ Proposing blue and green structure as core for proposal design. Optimize natural potentials and protect the city.

Connecting the city with harbor area by creating integrated nodes to break the barrier. Filling design site with diversity and attractive programs that lead to many opportunities in development plan.

The concept proposes blue and green structure through the city. There is huge green area on the east of Ystad and big greenery on the west side. Also, there are few blue spots in the center of the

city. Blue strategies focus on integrating blue spots, anticipating flood risk, and storm water management. Then, green strategies try to link green structure in the city. By creating this connection, people can enjoy different characteristic of public spaces which are made by bluegreen interaction. This proposal creates new experience of walking around the city and going to oasis (new lake). The oasis is surrounded by diverse programs such as public facilities, recreational area, housing, commercial blocks, and open green spaces. The development plan is divided into 3 phases which have specific functions (public service, business, and residential).

Ystad’s shoreline once hugged the current railway line and was formerly buffered by shallow gradation in water depth. Over time, dredging and the inundation of industry has disrupted the harbour’s natural edge diminishing community interaction with the shoreline, creating homogeneity, disconnected thresholds and exposure to microclimate.

With existing shipping industry moving further South an opportunity arises to utilize dredged soil from this relocation to aid the restoration of the current shoreline, softening this threshold, creating protective shallows for greater biodiversity, variety of activation and a more resilient shoreline against climate change.

Derived from Skåne’s agricultural identity and the growing desire to diversify and engage the local community the proposal introduces urban farming and community gardens

involving participation from youth through to elderly and tourists through to locals. A marketplace in the industrial hub of the silo precinct seeks to draw the agriculture from the outskirts of Ystad to trade in the harbour.

In preserving and adapting the silos the cultural and heritage significance of the industrial age can be exhibited.

Sheltered and exposed swimming areas provide bathing alternatives for various seasons. By proposing the train to slow to a tram speed along the harbour, the hierarchy of movement is given to shared zones for pedestrians and cyclists.

The vision aims to create a softened, more human scale, climate change resilient and most importantly natural edge to the harbour. Utilizing these strategies to develop over time, engage the community and to diversify the current contrasting thresholds.

62

Ystad is famously known for its picturesque quality and the harbour of the city has been one of the major ports in the country. To build a new city at a place with such strong characteristics it is important to acknowledge these characteristics in the new.

Symbiosis- A mutually beneficial relationship between the existing city and the new city is essential. Hence, the strategy here to mutually benefit the old and the new in a planning level is to provide everything the old city lacks and use the things that the old city has in abundance to benefit the new city.

Embracing the threats- The major threat to the new city is the sea level rise and storm surge to embrace such unavoidable threats is by using landscape itself to sway water into places for storage, replenish the groundwater level and to embrace it in recreational spaces. The green and blue in itself mutually benefit each other. The green provides many health benefits to the residents just the sight of it brings about happiness.

Providing open spaces with ample amount of lush green landscape and water features is a dynamic combination of peace and tranquillity.

Flexibility- It is seen that the city is overflowing with tourists during the summer and with no tourists during the winter which affects many local businesses to solve this the city has to be able to entertain and attract tourists throughout the year. Hence, the new city is to have a flexible design that would function differently according to the seasons.

Bringing in the younger generationThe existing city has a lower youth population and to combat this issue the new city could be a place that attracts the youth by providing education, work place and recreational open spaces which makes it a healthier environment for the younger families to grow old in.

“The vision of this proposal is to transform the city of Ystad into a region where people

want to stay, not just pass by. �

64

Several factors are part of this design vision, but the main concepts were the quality of the public space, the city-harbour relationship using water as a connecting element, the implementation of various uses and functions, including recycling of the main built structures, the use of green and blue structures as an element of protection and urban resilience, biodiversity and recreation, and the creation of a circulation network using the train station as a main node.

As the main relevant items addressed in the proposal we have the need of the city for new uses of recreation, housing and commerce, besides the possibility of economic growth through new corporate structures. We also have the fact that the city is very dependent on unsustainable means of transport, such as cars.

The proposal had several approaches, among them: the use of blue structures

entering the city through channels.

The implementation of green and blue structures spread throughout the area, with the intention of creating a network for recreation, leisure and biodiversity. The main harbour buildings will have new uses, such as arts, culture, workshops and leisure.

The new constructions were positioned to create sheltered spaces, with specific microclimate, and to increase the biodiversity. .

“Clear borders between public and private to promote social capital. ”

66

Ystad, located in the south eastern part of Skåne, is a charming small town close to the sea but still well connected both locally and globally through trains and ferries.

Ystad is growing, but concerning demographics we see a tendency that the young population is moving out and families are moving to the urban fringe where new developments are poping up.

Instead of eating up valuable farmland I asked myself, how to create desired dwellings for families in the harbour area and an attractive public space network for this younger user group?

The drive for this project has been, how to accumulate “social capital” within different typologies and how boundaries perform in the built environment concerning private and public domain.

To make the harbour area a liveable part of Ystad I worked with a strategy divided in to four themes: Integrate through access and movement, prioritise pedestrians and cyclists.

Complete the long awaited coastal trail.

Include through public space network.

Replicating patterns of the existing public space network creating destinations and well working spaces throughout the year.

Interact with different green and blue experiences. Expanding and connecting existing green links to create valuable green corridors for both humans and animals.

Implement through built form. The new urban fabric is both inspired and integrated with Ystad’s medieval town centre and embracing its industrial heritage. Providing clear borders between public and private makes it possible to appropriate and personalize the outdoor area and gain social capital with your neighbours.

Disrupture

Jocelyn Lam Ying Ju, Singapore

CONCEPT RENDER

“Designing brevity in the harbour of Ystad.”

The Ystad harbour can be seen as an issue of disruption. The current harbour is considering an eyesore, or at best, an unidentifiable part of Ystad for all, despite being a waterfront area. Hence, it can be seen in a way as a disruption to the life of Ystad.

Sustainable Urban Recycling

Where the train line and fenced off spaces impede mobility, the hard water edge and grain as an industrial site also disturb the perceived charm – or rather lack thereof - of the harbour.

68

Instead of trying to erase all traces of disruptions, this project seeks to evaluate and play upon what can be seen as a negative, instead turning them to positives. Disruptions, when deconstructed, refers to pauses in life, which from the flip side of the coin, could mean a moment of brevity.

The strategy employed for this project hinges on the mobility network created.

Said network was implemented on the

site with respect to the existing harbour grain, as well as to strengthen existing connections across the train line while walkways over the water break up the currently detached water edge.

Simultaneously, an egalitarian attitude is adopted where the use of the shoreline is mostly public and mixed typologies with communal centres seek to create a more active and inclusive site.

This project will also work with the future threat of sea level rise, where the threat will affect not just the site, but also especially the agricultural area east of Ystad. Hence, the mobility network is raised to act as a backbone infrastructure for the future once flooding occurs. At the same time, farming practices are interweaved into residential communities to accommodate future farming practices.

Glimpse of life in Ystad

“A place where interaction with water becomes an everyday

affair.”

70

Deriving from the analysis about Ystad, we found that there are historical evidences of how Ystad gained its significance because of being close to the sea; ‘water’. Trade through water brought people into the city. But later with time the same reason pushed away the human connection with the water.

With this proposal, I want to make the harbour area a place where interaction with the water becomes a everyday affair. This will allow the local people to appreciate the lost identity of Ystad as well as help it to become a habitable place to stay or work. Also, I believe recycling is about retaining & respecting what exist and later modifying to make it timeless. So, recycling the buildings at harbour and adapting them to the maximum extent is what I would like to propose.

Connecting the existing creek to a water channel that goes all along the site becoming as hinge between the harbour

edge and medieval city.

Creating water nodes and activating the major streets with rainwater water channels.

Creating squares that offer diverse functions to attract people of different age groups to invest in and stay in Ystad.

Treating the barrier (Train tracks) as an opportunity of arrival, thus expanding the train station- elaborating arrival to the city.

Activating the Harbour edge as a public ribbon to embrace the water.

Reusing the older harbour structures to retain the identity which also helps to create diverse typologies on the site.

Promoting walkability in the new development area and adding elements such as wind parks, community farming to educate people about selfsustainability.

Ystad today is a waterfront city, but not in a daily way. The harobur area is restricted for pedestrian and is not inviting. Here is the central station located as an building that is not used.

There is no welcoming entrance that guides the visitor where to go. As a city by the sea, the threat from rising sea levels and storm surges do exist. The old city is at risk.

The new development will connect the sea with the city again by being a part of an everyday loop. The new area can restore the train station and welcome the visitors with a welcoming space and be the starting point for whole of Ystad!

To strengthen the flow to and from the rest of the city the area will complement the existing city just not only by built structure, but with activities and needs for all kinds of people.

By doing it as a part of an everyday loop it can attracts business and make an area where we both live, work and play. It is important to make the users of the area feel their own identity in it. By making space for companies to evolve or start up, and places to develop by interests of the people, they will feel heard and a part of the future.

Ystad: Protect and Activate Marcio Thomasi, Brazil

“A new harbour that can protect the city from sea level rise, activate different ecosystems and promote a healthy urban

habitat for everyone.�

74

As the rise of the sea level and the increase of intensity and frequency of rain storms, it is critical to develop a new urban design which can incorporate natural systems into the built environment in order to protect and promote ecosystem health and urban resilience.

Costal systems of the Nordic countries such as Kelp Forest and Blue Mussel Beds are high biodiversity systems and combined with storm water management in urban environments, it is possible to improve air quality, increase biodiversity, purify water, minimize the erosion process and increase carbon fixation through fauna and flora.

Once ecosystems are incorporated into the everyday life of people, it is possible to improve physical health through the stimulation of the different human sensors. Besides that, outdoor exercises such as walking, playing sports or

swimming can reduce the risk of mental illness and also improve a sense of wellbeing and self-esteem.

Finally, this project primarily aims to protect Ystad from sea level rise and rain storms through a green belt that, at the same time, this belt works as a landscape element that can be used by people, stimulate a healthy human habitat and promote a stronger ecosystem.

The history of Ystad is based on an economic level on food production (fishing industry 11-15 century, agriculture 20 century – silo structure as iconic fabric) Considering global change processes and challenges, the concept envisages a re-programming of the existing structures in order to establish them as drivers for the new port development.

The program is based on the history of food production and interprets it in a future-oriented way. The stressed ecosystems of water and soil in the periphery are protected and recultivated by new urban food production in the port. Future urban sprawl is counteracted by a dense building structure. A Research Centre is established, which is linked to the existing research network at regional and international level. The residential areas and the new ferry terminal are also part of this new metabolic loop. The existing structures are used as anchor

points for the new development.

The new district is interwoven with the existing city on a physical and metabolic level. The zone around the existing railway line will be transformed into a connecting axis that complements the existing (public) urban elements with a new open space structure and the Visitor Centre.

On a metabolic level, the new area is connected with the existing city and its inhabitants via food production, energy supply, waste recycling and knowledge production. Consequently, there will be a new understanding and awareness of global and local challenges.

“A neighbourhood for all of Ystad’s inhabitants and visitors to enjoy.”

Hello, and welcome to the new part of Ystad! The old harbour has turned into a new neighbourhood for all of Ystad’s inhabitants and visitors to enjoy. The new part of Ystad is based on three keywords; connected, inclusive and healthy and has a strong green profile.

Sustainable Urban Recycling

The neighbourhood will have a great connection both within and to the old part of the city. By stronger crossings over the railway and obvious paths from the existing city, the area will become a part of Ystad. Clear views and streaks will guard and attract people down to the harbour.

80

A green path will connect the city’s existing greenery to the new, and also work as a strong connection within the area. This path will also function as the neighbourhood’s main artery with room for both buses, cars, pedestrians and cyclists. Two parking houses are located in the corner entrances, for you to easily park your car and continue by foot or

bike. It is possible to get around by car inside of the area, but the places to park are limited.

Along the green path and on the public green spaces, four different characters of vegetation have carefully been identifi ed and selected; ocean, meadow, city and garden. The characters are represented by species and shapes that mirror and strengthen their character and are supposed to work as a guideline for the vegetation in the harbour.

A built character that is based on semiprivate inner yards will allow all of Ystads inhabitants and visitors to take part of the entire neighbourhood. To create a connection within the area, the concept of the four characters of greenery is also adapted to the inner yards. The aim is also to create hidden green spaces with varied functions – green harbours.

This makes the city vulnerable in case of an unexpected rainfall event.

The aim of this project to connect and activate old areas at the same time create new areas in Ystad, in a healthy, inclusive & connected way, where the residents benefit from the harbor as well as to attract new comers to live in the city and tourists to visit the city. There are 3 driving design factors in which ystad harbor will be designed, that are: Inclusive, healthy & connected.

Cities are increasingly becoming dense, so I chose to propose these methods, as this will enhance the existing values in the city and the same time bring new programs and residencies to the city of Ystad, in a sustainable way. It will help make the city a thriving place for the present and the future Inclusive: Ystad is a welcoming place, to a number of diverse people, such as tourists, residents. There are different housing typologies and programmed activities in Ystad including urban farming, a sports center and a library, concert hall, exhibitions centers and seasonal activities, that will attract

different types of people, making it inclusive, giving it a community like feeling.

Healthy: Every area in Ystad has a open green areas for people to access,and with greenhouses , as well as indoor green area. There are a number of public parks, and open access to water to encourage healthy and active living.

Connected: Ystad’s connection with the old city and harbor will be strengthened by having strong and obvious access to the city.

86

Why is the vision?

As a seaport tourist city, Ystad has a historical culture as well as charming town life. However, by looking at what opportunities and problems existing in Ystad, the main issue is disconnection and disruption, both physically and culturally between the old town and the harbor. It is facing the risk of flooding at the same time. As there are original green spaces in the north-west and east part of Ystad, why not reconnect them as a bond to activate a sustainable and livable future in the harbor?

What is the vision?

The vision of the project is to rebuild the ecological system of the harbor from east to the west, old to the new aiming for achieving the following goals at the same time: 1. reconnect the sea to the old town; 2. activate the public space of industrial harbor; 3. provide livable human life.

How is the strategy?

Three main strategies will be applied in the project: 1. Sustainable water collection and cleaning system will be built.

2.

Ecological landscape system(wetlands, stormwater parks, urban farming) which can not only green the space but also activate the livable human life will be set.

3. Social nodes like diverse waterfront spaces, public squares, community center, public parks will be built to connect the whole harbor as well as the old town center.

of people.”

88

Ystad was connected to the sea until the industrial harbor was developed.

By making the harbor into a vivid area that attracts all kinds of people, we can reconnect Ystad to the sea and provide diverse experiences.

But with opportunities comes challenges. Upcoming climate changes such as rising sea levels and more intense weather events makes the waterfront into a sensitive area. By linking the existent green surroundings and support existent urban structure with a wetland that can both clean the gray water from the city but also become an important attraction and landmark for Ystad. By elevating the land in the edge of the harbor and building up structures in the water which can be closed when needed we can manage upcoming sea-level rises.

It’s important to make the connections from Ystad to the harbor clear and relevant. For example, a wild life passage makes it possibilities for humans and animals to access the area

in a natural way.

We have some leisure points that are connected by a coastal trail.

For example, a winter bath and three other bathing opportunities. The main cultural destinations are an art museum, an urban farm, the cultural center and the communal center.

Dynamic costal access is about protecting while reconnecting Ystad and its inhabitants to the sea in a dynamic way and in the same time creating a vivid urban structure that can support the city to grow.

stronger community.”

90

The project INTERWEAVE is about knitting the city, the harbour and the sea. With strong threads (design principles), the aim of the project is to weave these elements and create a stronger urban fabric.

CONNECT. Create a coherent dialogue between the city and harbour erasing mental and physical barriers. It is also important to be in connection with time, especially with the future. The new harbour plan adapts for future challenges by creating long term strategies.

ACTIVATE. Encourage movement and curiosity. Healthy inhabitants will create happy residents, increasing livable qualities. The project proposes the creation of public spaces for a variety of uses and a diversity of users, as well as working with microclimate to create comfortable outdoor spaces that encourage staying.

COMMUNITY. The project aims to create a sense of community spirit and proudness of the shared space, as well as enhance environmental awareness by community work. Dense neighbourhoods with low-rise buildings in combination with public spaces for communal activities are proposed in the plan (kitchen gardens, greenhouses, etc.)

BIODIVERSITY. The objective is to improve biodiversity while creating a sense of social responsibility towards the environment. The area provides space for the proliferation of a variety of species like, oysters, small mammals as well as for plants and trees.

“The harbour that harbours!”

92

[To] Harbour is a project that combines both meanings of the word ‘harbour’.

By creating a system of high and low courtyards, the new waterfront area of Ystad will flourish with life again, while being protected from future sea level rise. The high courtyards are a part of the dyke system that will protect Ystad from the sea. These high courtyards provide space for football, basketball and other physical activities. The low courtyards consist of wetlands, which create great opportunities for the increase in biodiversity. It also functions as a recreational area and a pleasant living environment, by adding a diverse selection of boardwalks to the wetlands and therefore making them accessible. This wetland system strongly shows seasonal changes, natural processes and fluctuating water situations. Together with the green roofs it functions as the sponge of the area, which slows down water flows and creates space for water to infiltrate, giving life back to the area.

Many iconic buildings and structures of the existing harbour will remain intact and will be given a new function.

An example of this is the warehouse garden, where the roof of the existing warehouse will be taken off in order to create a walled garden.

Since the very beginning, answering one question was the focal point of this project; how can we reconnect Ystad with the seaside again? In this sense, 4 main strengths of Ystad stand out easily; identity, green links, walkable streets and a network of public spaces.

These 4 points became the guidelines for this design proposal.

The first step of the project was the developing new green urban spaces and new public nodes. In order to achieve this, the potentials of existing structures have been used. By taking the present system as an example, new public nodes were created in the harbor area and already well-functioning areas have been developed with a minimal intervention in order to work as a part of the new green link.

Ystad’s strong green link in the city center, supported with a new green belt, for connecting east and west part of the harbor, as well as creating a fluent

connection between the city center and the seaside.

In the second phase of the project, the capacity of the existing buildings was increased by adding new modules.

For the third phase, small-scale neighbourhoods were created with the same modules on the other side of the harbor. Through the development process of these neighbourhoods, Ystad’s current typology has been used as an example.

As the last stage, these modular neighbourhoods were built on the larger scale.

In order to create a liveable city for future Ystad, the proposal will use water as a guideline to develop a harbour area with IDENTITY, ADAPTABILITY, SENSE OF SECURITY and DIVERSITY. And there are three aims as well as the reasons of using water to active the site: (1) reuse the stormwater, (2) active the public space and public life, (3) guide people in the city to the harbour, as well as guide the people in the harbour to use and remember the site.

The most important problem need to be solved is about the water source.

And the first strategy is collecting the stormwater on the site. Different kinds of water landscape can be seen in every part of the site, which can not only be a guideline of the harbour to attract people use the site, but also collect the stromwater on the site, and create dierent nodes and uses by citizens.

The second approach is borrowing the stormwater from the old city. Based on the topography, the rainwater can be

brought into the site. And rely on the different height of the steps, all the strormwater can flow into the sea.

With the sufficient source of the rainwater, it is also necessary to use rainwater collection, rainwater circulation and rainwater filtration to deal with stormwater.

For the purpose of developing diverse and adaptable spaces, it is significant to have a water channel that can change in different location and different time.

As for spatial change, the long and narrow site has different functions and uses. So in order to meet the demands of people and atmosphere of site, the function and form of the channel and flow will change, too. What’s more, the waterscape will also change over time (day and night, different seasons). For example, in the night, there can be some music fountain with lights, and the water channel can be changed into a culture channel in the dry season.

Water channel changes in different location

As for the channel in public square, the sculpture in the bottom will come up in dry season, and transformed into a culture channel, which tells the story of Ystad.
