FLOWS AND INFRASTRUCTURE OF A METROPOLITAN INTENSITY
Very much is at stake when considering
the current situation of Vardo as well as
the uncertainty of its unfolding over time -
especially when regarding the future of the fish
industry, the challenge of tourism, and even the
investment in Zumthor’s work. This nebulous
current situation doesn’t leave safe ground for
one-way solutions. By contrast, it calls for the
adoption of a multitude of equally uncertain
strategies that have the potential to produce the
required urban results - each one autonomously
or in the (partly unpredictable) dynamic
combination of them all.
We have devised a kit of urban strategies that can
be partially, gradually or simultaneously adopted
by the city. Our approach also involves time and
a multitude of city rhythms as an equivalent
player in the design game.
Catering for both the requirements of an
attraction of the short-term passing-by
multitudes, as well as those of the long-term
citizens themselves, the proposed strategic kit
adopts this kind of a peculiar dual viewpoint
in every single one of its programmatic design
elements. In 1982, Norway decides to construct
its first ever underwater tunnel that connects
Vardo with the mainland.Metropolitanism
reaches out for the island. A similarly confident
investment in the direction of implementing
infrastructure that recontextualises the bold
vision of the past by incorporating it into a
larger infrastructure, seems necessary again
today. Inspired by the raw connectivity between
mainland, sea and island we fantasize a manifold
of infrastructure struggling to twine the secluded
island along with its geopolitical context and
wire it with an intricate network of exchanges
and transfers: Materials, heat, multitudes, flows
and public space. Since you could pierce the
land underseas to open up a highway back then -
anything is possible now.

Re-booting a shrinking city:
The strip as node: Reinforcing the connection
of the port of Vardo with the already-existing
naval highways and attempting a unification of
its 2 sides (inner and outer - high and low-traffic
naval streets of Vardo, respectively). A control-
led environment is in fact the starting point for
the introduction of new programs in Vardo’s
revisited (public) domesticity that offers exotism
in a shell.
Island-in-a-port: A landfill attempting to cre-
ate another public surface that can bring together
the two dividing sectors of urban Vardo and offer
sufficient ground for the organisation of activities
(festivals, market days and concerts) at the new
heart of the city
Wet public spaces: The concept of the open-
air pool reattributes the innermost southern part
of the port as a new kind of wet public space.
An adjustable system of infrastructure that allows
for control of the environmental qualities of in-
door space (temperature, light, sound,
air). The isolated building as shelter to extreme
weather conditions and provider of an interior
domestic life hosts a set of controllers of the mi-
cro-climate conditions.
time framework
Time becomes an equivalent player in the city de-
sign game.As long as a multitude of city rhythms
is fundamentally involved in structuring Vardo’s
life, the calendar becomes a supplementary design
tool, of both analytical and constructive signifi-
cance, in an attempt to rationalise flows in a time-
framework.
