Sammanfattning
Relive the River is a Thesis that investigates the potential of regenerating a
severely modified natural water flow through architecture.
The aim with the report is to develop appropriate architectural methods
to create multi-specie coexistence by the urban riverbank. The project
will elaborate on possibilities to regenerate decaying aquatic eco-systems
through design and find out how these interventions can benefit the
Gothenburg region.
The project will analyze the most suitable locations in the urban periphery
to intervene by using landscape and architecture as tools to find
configurations best suited for the purpose.
The central program of the development will include habitat, recreation
and education, serving every specie enjoying the aquatic and riparian
zone. As catalyzing ecosystems has many bounded benefits the project
will further investigate the potential of simultaneously working as a water
rehabilitation provider, serving Göta Älv River and its tethered bio-diversity
with natural water purification.
