Välkommen att mingla med och lyssna till arkitekterna bakom Jubileumsparken i Göteborg.

Så här formulerar Zaš Brezar i Landezine, varför han tycker att boken “Wildness in the Heart of the City”, är så intressant och bör läsas:

“What I find particularly productive is that the book refuses to present a flawless process or a frictionless narrative. Many project-based books in the profession still do. In Jubileumsparken, such constraints and challenges are documented: budget and regulatory limits, technical difficulties, and other unresolved tensions. In this sense, Wildness in the Heart of the City decisively moves away from becoming just a nice coffee-table book. It is closer to a collective logbook of those negotiations, compromises, and learned capacities.

Taken together, Jubileumsparken and its reflection through the book offer Gothenburg something more durable than a celebratory waterfront park. They establish a benchmark for how under-activated waterfronts might be adapted as urban life continues under climate pressure. The reflection comes at a good moment, as Gothenburg still has many opportunities to improve its waterfronts.

For the international professional community, they do not provide answers so much as reframe questions: how to work with temporality, how to design through prototypes, how to integrate ecological and social processes, how to accept the messiness of public space production in the Anthropocene without nostalgia, romanticism or design populism.

The book gains relevance beyond Gothenburg by showing how the design team dealt with specificity and locality in concrete design decisions.”
