| Økern node point in Oslo is changing due to heavy state infrastructural investments and a political intention to transform the site from being a traffic machine to become a local community centre. Simultaneously the landowner wants to develop a large regional shopping mall on site.
The proposal, “Streetwise Økern”, explores the possibilities of combining these ambitions in an urban development by developing a collection of open public streets (courts, boulevards, alleys, passages, arcades, bridges etc) that connects all program an adjacent neighborhoods into a tissue of places that are optimal for both shopping and other urban experiences. The program was extended to also include a food hall, housing, office, a cinema, a planetarium, a water world, a hotel and renovation of the existing subway station. This mix creates an urban intensity allowing users to move freely from inside to outside, with varying degrees of public definition, creating relationships, flows and frictions while fully connecting to the fragmented existing context.
