The proposal of the team modelling landscape and framing the automotive scale of Hjulsta intersection, the project connect the area with the near Järvafältet recreation area through a series of pedestrian paths.
BIG was selected as the winner of the invited competition among proposals from Norwegian Snøhetta, Danish landscape architect Kristine Jensen and Swedish Erik Giudice Architects.
From Jury report:
“The magnificent bowl shape of this proposal is an ingenious solution which interacts with the geometry of the intersection while at the same time creating an urban context linking together the different areas surrounding the site. Possibilities of adding qualities and activities to the place which will benefit residents are very elegantly added.”
BIG’s proposal, the Energy Valley, re-connects these in an un-hierarchical and democratic way through a continuous circular bike and pedestrian loop aligned with public buildings and functions, including a shopping- and sports centre, a hammam and a mosque which will attract visitors from Stockholm and its suburbs.
Diagram shows how works the masterplan: a depression around the roads intersection rapresents a good solution for noise pollution and divide the site from surrounding landscape giving many opportunities of new sceneries. A big sphere in the sky gives energy from sun and wind (I don't know how it works!).
