*노르웨이 보트하우스단지 재개발 [ Eriksen Skajaa Architects ] Strusshamn

피요르드 해안때문에 노르웨이는 주로 운송수단을
배로 이용하였어요. 여기 작은 마을(Strusshamn)은
그 배를 만드는 산업이 발달한 마을이였죠. 하지만 도로사정이 좋아지면서
차를 이용한 운송수단으로 바뀌면서 이 마을의 산업도 쇠퇴의 길을 걷게 됩니다.
이번 프로젝트는 도시 재생프로젝트로 우리에게 시사하는 바가 크네요.
먼저 이곳이 가지고 있는 문화와 전통에 대해 바라보며 이곳이 가지고 있는
장점을 십분 살려 문화와 상업이 공존하는 마을로 계획했어요.
독특한 이곳만의 문화, 보트 생산시설의 문화와 해양문화가 잘 조화롭게 구성되어 있는
문화의 정점을 보트하우스로 보았어요.
보트하우스 리뉴얼 작업을 통해 아티스트를 위한 하우스와 스튜디오 또는 작은 상점들로
탈바꿈을 시도하는 거죠.
문화와 상업은 어느 한 곳으로 치우쳐도 안되지만 적절한 조합이야 말로
도시를 숨쉬게하고 돌아가게 하는 원동력이 되니까요.
실속없이 덩치만 큰 프로그램(mega Plex)보다는 적정한 프로그램의 개발로
좋은 결과를 뽐아내는 힘이 대단하네요.

우리나라의 태백탄광촌과는 비교가 많이 되는 사례이네요.
사이트가 가지고 있는 전통성과 진정성을 보지 않고 디벨롭퍼와 세금으로 벌어들이는 수익만을
앞세운 정부의 합작품으로 카지노라는 괴물을 만들어 내었죠.
개발로 인한 부의 창출과 인력창출은 허울좋은 미끼일 뿐이고
오히려 거주민들을 밖으로 모는 결과를 나았네요.
그곳에 미래가 있을까요? 진정 그곳은 누구를 위한 땅이였을까라는
생각을 갖게 합니다. 건축을 하고 도시를 바라볼때 진정성 없는
개발은 개발이 아닌 투기일뿐이라는 생각이 듭니다.
제가 먼저 반성하겠습니다.

Norwegian design team, Eriksen Skajaa Architects has shared with us their urban study for the redevelopment of a former industrial site in Strusshamn, a Norwegian coastal settlement. Follow after the jump for additional images and a brief description by the architects.

---

Strusshamn is a settlement on the southwest side of Askøy, an island outside of Bergen on the west coast of Norway, with strong ties to the ocean. The fjord was used for transport due to lack of roads and it was an important economic resource. When this changed and the car became the most important way of communication two centers developed without a clear connection to each other.

The site in Strusshamn is a former boat building factory for Viksund Boats that was bought by the municipality to make a new zoning plan to avoid heavy industry to be established in the future in the old, preserved harbour environment. In our study we are looking for a way to connect the two parts of Strusshamn. By simple means like improving and defining different surfaces, re-establishing a hidden river, and introducing public spaces of different character we redefine Strusshamn and prepare for the integration of the new development at the Viksund site.

Strusshamn has a lot of different public services and mainly small-scale cultural activity. A combination of culture production and maritime culture can give Strusshamn the uniqueness that is needed to turn the place into both a good place to live and an interesting destination. We have introduced small culture ”boathouses” that will make a supplement to the housing as artist’s studios and small shops. They will provide public life and reintroduce small-scale commerce to this once so lively harbor area. The culture “boathouses” can be rented separately or combined to make larger units.

The study examines three different combinations of density and program on the site, but with a similar layout and approach to the site. The layout is based on analysis of climate and landscape with an aim to create good public spaces and buildings with access to light and the spectacular view the landscape offers. A continuous public space with piers, public spaces, a promenade and backyards attach the new development to the rest of Strusshamn. A central canal on the site connects the two parts of the site together and increases the quality of both and this way not only the houses on the waterfront have access to the qualities of the harbor environment. Towards the fjord to the south lies a large public space for the whole of Strusshamn.

The new development is based on the historical buildings in Strusshamn. Small volumes that sometimes grow together and create larger units characterize the historical buildings. The buildings are close to the water and create spaces between that vary in size and quality. With those aspects in mind, the new development is a continuation and extension of the historical place, while at the same time demonstrating the possibilities of developing these kinds of sites into areas with more dense or urban structures.
