Hangarplatsen
NÀr vÄra stÀder vÀxer och nya stadsprojekt breder ut sig förÀndras landskapen. Platser omdefinieras genom att nya strukturer ersÀtter de gamla. Samtidigt Àr det inte ovanligt att spÄr efter tidigare markanvÀndning lÀmnas kvar nÀr ett omrÄde ska omgestaltas. FrÄgan Àr hur vi bÀst kan nyttja dessa kopplingar bakÄt och lÄta dem stÀrka och tydliggöra vÀgen framÄt.
PÄ ett tidigare flygfÀlt strax norr om Stockholm planeras utvecklingsomrÄdet Barkarbystaden, ett projekt med ambitionen att sÄ smÄningom inhysa nÀrmare 20 000 bostÀder och 10 000 arbetsplatser. I kommunens strukturplan finns viljan att spara och utveckla en mindre skogskulle samt en Àldre hangar belÀgen intill. Som del av en urban offentlig plats ska sÄvÀl skogskullen som hangaren ges ny anvÀndning.
I syfte att undersöka hur dessa strukturer skulle kunna utvecklas och skapa mervÀrde i sitt nya urbana sammanhang, redovisar jag i detta arbete en transparent designprocess dÀr litteraturstudie och skissarbete utgör huvudspÄr. Med avstamp i teoretiska resonemang kring begrepp som rörelse, skala, nivÄ, rum och plats, och biodiversitet vÀxer en gestaltningsidé om Hangarplatsen sakta fram.
Arbetet resulterar i ett idéförslag som med stöd i litteraturstudien lyfter fram platsens befintliga strukturer och bygger vidare pÄ deras vÀrden, bÄde vad gÀller uttryck och anvÀndning. Hangarens position och riktning utgör grunden för torgets gestaltning och definierar dÀrigenom nya rum och vistelseytor. Skogskullens vegetationsbestÄnd tas till vara och fÄr i förslaget utvecklas successivt genom inplantering och gallring mot en mer spÀnnande och artrik parkmiljö dÀr nya stigar och rumsbildningar kan vÀxa fram. En gÄngbro, utformad som en förlÀngning av hangarens konstruktion, lÀnkar samman dessa bÀrande strukturer och överbryggar samtidigt den barriÀr som utgörs av omrÄdets huvudgata. Genom idéförslaget visar jag hur Hangarplatsen skulle kunna utformas till ett offentligt stadsrum utan att tappa kopplingen till sitt tidigare sammanhang.Landscapes change as our cities grow and new urban projects claim new ground. Places are redefined as new structures replace the old ones. At the same time it is not unusual that traces of previous land use remain when an area is to be redesigned. The question is how we can best use these connections to the past so that they can strengthen and make clear the way forward.
The development of Barkarbystaden is being planned on a former airfield just north of Stockholm, a project with the ambition to accommodate almost 20 000 homes and 10 000 workplaces. The municipal plans expresses the intention to keep and develop a small forested hill and an adjacent older hangar. As part of an urban public space both the forested hill and the hangar will be given new uses.
With the aim to examine how these structures could evolve to create value in their new urban context, this report accounts for a transparent design process where a literature review and sketch drafting constitute the main tracks. Building on theoretical reasoning around concepts such as motion, scale, level, space and place, and biodiversity the design slowly takes form.
The process results in a design proposal that highlights the siteâs existing structures and build on their values, both in terms of expression and use, with support in the literature review. The position and direction of the hangar form the basis for the design of the square and serve to define new spaces and places to linger. The vegetation stands on the forested hill is utilized, and through planting and thinning it is allowed to develop gradually toward a more exciting and varied park environment, where new paths and spatial formations can emerge. A pedestrian bridge, designed as an extension of the hangar construction, links these structures and bridges the barrier made up of the areaâs main street. In the design proposal I show how Hangarplatsen could be turned into a public urban space without losing the connection to its earlier context
Voluntary Private Investments Role in Pension System in Latvia
Pension systems have become one of the main priorities for the national governments. Developed countries population is getting
older by putting the pressure on the state budgets and work age people tax load. The current pension system in Latvia performs
according to regulation of state compulsory unfunded pension scheme since 1996 and regulation of the state funded or accumulated pension scheme since 2001. The third pension system pillar is private voluntary pension schemes realized in form of people contributions into pension funds and life insurance policies. Aim of the research â deeper analyses of voluntary private investments as the pension system part and its development challenges in Latvia. Research methods: scientific publications and previous conducted research analysis; analysis of time series on private pension fund developments in Latvia and comparisons with the situation in other OECD countries. The authors were looking for answer on the question â can voluntary private investments cover the gap between pre-retirement and after-retirement income of population in Latvia and what are the pre-conditions for it.The research was supported by the NATIONAL RESEARCH PROGRAMME âLATVIAN HERITAGE
