The City as a Museum : Reshaping the Urban Interiors of Stockholm

Abstract: Physically speaking, contemporary urban environments exist on top of older ones. A perfect variation of layers remain hidden in the soil on which we walk. In European cities, the center remains a stagnant historical exhibit for tourists and locals alike. Change happens on the periphery affecting different areas that surround the center. Stockholm is an exception to this notion, where rebuilding happens in the very city center. LowerNorrmalm remains a nucleus of constant change-drastically affected by the demolished past. The museumoffers a framework for the proposed narrative. Α transcendent structure that ignores selectively the form of the city and therefore the architecture. At its core, the exhibit consists of elements of engagement that translate the scale of the city to the inhabitant's everyday encounters. This urban museum creates a new layer that binds the area through a factory of urban experiences that establish a dynamic environment.
