Speculative project utilizing the harbor area in Gothenburg to lead excess rainwater in the canal.
The areas surrounding Göta Älv face a high risk of flooding, either from increased rainfall and rising sea levels. Imagined to be located somewhere within the planned Älvstaden near Lindholmen and Frihamnen, the park is designed to help the area cope with future floods, while also offering a place for activity, regardless of the weather.
Water is guided back to the river through gently sloping grass patches and ground-level channels. The stairs direct runoff from higher ground, while the grass patches absorb what the plants and trees need, letting any excess flow into the channels. The bridges serve not only as an aesthetic feature but also as a practical path to use when rainfall has been heavy.
Created using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator och After Effects, 2021. Heavily inspired by the works of Erik Winkowski who often plays with collages and hand drawn images meeting in whimsical videos.
