The southern pedestrian street is a prime example from which we can all learn. But in the end, there are many more winners &#8211; not least the city\u2019s residents, who with the redesigned street have gained a sustainable, vibrant, and welcoming meeting place for future generations, says <strong>Kai Marklin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"853\" data-end=\"1081\">The work on the redesign of the southern pedestrian street began in 2018 and was completed in 2021. To enhance the sense of intimacy and spatial definition, Karavan created a subtle, quietly shifting stone pattern in the pavement.\u00a0Three types of Swedish granite with different finishes provide variation in both color and expression: Tossene Grey Bohus flamed, Tossene Grey Bohus cross-hammered, and Bohus Nolby flamed. The pattern gives the impression of a living, improvised textile-like puzzle. Every detail has been carefully planned and executed with the highest level of craftsmanship. The pavement work was carried out by Uppsala Municipality\u2019s contracting division and subcontractor DI Stens\u00e4tteri, which realized the pattern design.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1597\" data-end=\"1670\"><strong>Kristina Ehrstedt<\/strong>, chief architect and one of Karavan\u2019s founders, says; \u2013 We are very pleased with the award! The city\u2019s decision to invest in high-quality, durable materials is, in our view, the right approach to creating an attractive and vibrant city center. We wanted to create a timeless and understated pavement that complements the city\u2019s diversity over a long period. A large part of why the result turned out so well is that much time was devoted to engagement and dialogue with the many stakeholders along the street throughout the process. Uppsala Municipality\u2019s project manager Helena Br\u00e4merson Gaddefors has played an important role in this. There has been ongoing dialogue with property owners, the City Collaboration Association, police, emergency services, and others, all of whom contributed to the outcome.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2437\" data-end=\"3152\"><strong>The jury\u2019s motivation reads: <\/strong><em data-start=\"2460\" data-end=\"3150\">For a city\u2019s heart to beat, a constant flow of people is required. Karavan are the surgeons who have not only strengthened Uppsala\u2019s lifeline but also ensured it can withstand the external pressure of a rapidly growing city by giving it a new design with fresh and lively functions. Stone has played a decisive role in preserving a human scale while simultaneously creating a shared sense of space for the street\u2019s many shops. With an apparently improvised pattern in the pavement, the stone has not only eased circulation but also allowed space for its natural and unique variations. Uppsala\u2019s new pedestrian street is, in short, aesthetic, sustainable, and innovative in every detail.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"
