Everyone involved has shown what is possible when people collaborate. It is a historical legacy left to future generations.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1435\" data-end=\"1629\"><strong>Paula Mackenzie<\/strong> from White Arkitekter has been the lead landscape architect for the redesign of S\u00f6dermalmstorg. She emphasises that Slussen is a public space that becomes what people make of it. &#8211; You have to give the place some time and see how people begin to use it, she says.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1717\" data-end=\"1865\"><strong>Spencer de Grey<\/strong>, Head of Design at the UK-based Foster + Partners, also emphasises that Stockholm\u2019s residents have been at the centre of the redesign. &#8211; It is meant to become a place for everyone in the city, he said at the opening this summer.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1962\" data-end=\"2103\">The new issue of Sten magazine provides an in-depth look at the project and all those who contributed to realising the vision for the site.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1962\" data-end=\"2103\">We at <strong>Hallindens Granit<\/strong> were delighted to serve as a supplier and would like to thank all our partners as well as Skanska f\u00f6r their continued trust and excellent collaboration!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2105\" data-end=\"2165\"><strong data-start=\"2105\" data-end=\"2127\">The jury\u2019s motivation reads: <\/strong><em>Open future \u2013 memory of history. A place where around half a million people pass each day and which matters to millions more \u2013 both Stockholmers and visitors. With the new S\u00f6dermalmstorg and M\u00e4larterrassen, Sweden\u2019s largest stone project in modern times has become a place that will be shaped by people \u2013 on their own terms and with new memories for future generations. Just as the site has always functioned, both as a link to history and a new chapter in the ongoing story of a city.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"
