This project has revolved around how to expand Stockholm in socially sustainable way. As is the case with many other cities in the world, inspired by modernist ideals, expansion during the 1900: s have shaped Stockholm into an archipelago of islands with mostly homogenous housing types that exist within an urban structure of centre and periphery. The Stockholm City Council is trying counter this situation by expanding the city centre into eight new regional cores by densifying a few chosen areas. This is done by conforming to old traditions of placing existing housing types and public spaces in a similar way as before. How do you go one step further in decentralizing Stockholm and breaking away from these traditions? The idea for this project is then to create an alternative typology that will be spread out homogeneously throughout the regional cores and that will grow organically as new needs emerge over time. The typology itself is simply a building scaffolding, a 6x6x7 steel grid, that will act as a tool for urban planning and host creation and expansion of new housing and public situations that together aim to constitute new parts of an alternative type of growing city centre.
