EGA have been working on a new urban plan in Varberg, Sweden. I was happy to be project leader for Erik Giudice Architects in collaboration with Ramböll and NOEMAs. Our proposal “Varberg Making Waves” will expand the city of Varbergs urban center along the waterfront. Together with a skilled team and in dialoge with the public.
The pier is prolonged, creating floating bridges with floating pavillions, small boats and urban animation. An inner blue park with active and diverse quays around. A new central station merging with the city, a creative incubator taking inspiration from the
hallifornia festival
trying to make it permanent in the city. A waterculture house manifesting the unique coast culture of the city.
