Stockholm Skyscraper: The Site




Whether they be within "U" shaped buildings, or outside iconic corner structures; plaza spaces are completely ingrained in the makeup of Stockholm architecture. This identity as well as the nature by which our skyscraper cuts into the land is the impetus by which I was most able to realize the concepts of grafting and fracture.

- Where one goes to be in suspended transition.
- Bus stops are spaced generously in between primary traffic flow.
- Dematerialization- shedding down to the bones. Clean lines break the plaza spaces into public and private zones that lead to the entrances.
- A sculptural marker is placed at the edge of each plaza stating the building’s grafted presence.
