Sammanfattning

An exploration of hybrid architecture in the port of Nynäshamn. This project combines two key aspects of the city's waterfront location: its tourism and its rich boat culture. Combining these in a marine visitor center allows the project to answer many surrounding challenges at once. The building, centrally located in the port on the site of a former parking area, enables tourists to orient themselves in the city while simultaneously acting as a bridge between visitors and locals. The project aims to capture, protect, and make visible the local boating culture through exhibitions, workshops, and larger gathering areas. The project also tries to encapsulate the small-scale nature of the port while also using its strategic position to protect and encourage pedestrians. The goal is to provide the existing harbor with a clear framework and allow the culture that has already developed in the area to thrive instead of being phased out. The hope is that this project can act as a starting point for Nynäshamn in its journey towards reestablishing itself as a cozy and culturally rich port, and in doing so also improve the morale and self-image of the city as a whole.
