1. How do you define the main issues of your project in relation with the theme “Re-sourcing”? Re-sourcing thanks to nature, to social dynamics, to new materiality? In which way do you think your project can contribute to an ecological and/or social evolution? And in which way do you think your project can be called a “regenerative project”?
The main challenge was to develop a masterplan that treats existing resources as part of a continuous, adaptable process—one capable of responding to future change while keeping the industrial estate active. The project supports both ecological and social transformation by restoring the soil’s permeability, enhancing biodiversity, and fostering a vibrant, sustainable community. HEJ VÅXNÄS! can be described as a regenerative project, guided by three clear implementation strategies: early activation, adaptable construction, and long-term integration.

2. How did the issues of your design and the questions raised by the site mutation meet?
The site is currently an expanding industrial estate and cannot be entirely transformed at once; therefore, the design must remain adaptable to multiple future scenarios, shaped by the decisions of diverse stakeholders. The proposal overlays three urban strategies—serving as connective frameworks—with 45 distinct operations. Rather than prescribing a fixed outcome, these operations function as an urban toolkit through which all stakeholders actively participate in shaping the future of HEJ VÅXNÄS!
