Vinsta Refurbished

Sammanfattning: The planning office in Stockholm is currently working on a new mixed-use master plan for the rundown industrial site in Vinsta, Stockholm. Looking at how similar developments are executed, there is reason to believe that a large part of the building stock will be demolished.  There are several arguments that can be made in resistance to such a course of action; sustainability, preservation and cultural values are keywords in the conservative approach to the redevelopment of Vinsta that this thesis explores.  The project includes an analysis of the site and its structures, a proposal for a new urban layout as well as designs for some of the housing blocks that are part of the new configuration.
