Another small contest


I proposed a new shopping/residence bridge in the otherwise quite conformative neighbourhood of Rosengård in Malmö, Sweden. Supplementing the existing old boring commercial bridge from the -70s.


Using the unused area of the highway that cuts through the neighbourhood, combining the medieval idea of a pedestrian commercial bridge with contemporary architecture. 


Placing Rosengård (in black) over a map of Florence (green-red) shows a remarkable resemblance. The Arno river and the Rosengård highway is about the same size and follows exactly the same north-west/south-east axis. The Rosengård Center (big black in the middle), i.e the commercial bridge from the 70s, is situated at the same spot as the Ponte Vecchio in Florence. Hardly a coincidence!
