Fair City

In this project, I challenge the plans made by the City of Stockholm to demolish the Stockholm International Fairs building to make way for urban development. This politically charged decision is driven by the ambition to densify the area, promising 7,000 new housing units and 15,000 workplaces. In response, I have proposed an alternative plan where densification is not the main focus. Instead, this proposal emphasizes the unique character of the site, respecting what already exists while prioritizing the preservation and enhancement of the blue-green corridor that runs through the area. The aim is to modernize and integrate the fair building into the urban fabric, creating a ”fair in the city.”
