Slussen
The water passage between the Old Town in Stockholm and the Södermalm island has for centuries been an important traffic junction. At water level it connects the lake Mälaren with the see Saltssjön. The level difference of on average one meter creates the need of a lock for seagoing vessels. Lock translates into the Swedish word sluss giving the name Slussen to the area. In the thirties the complex traffic situation was solved with a for-leaf clover road structure. Old age and increased traffic pressure has made this solution obsolete. How to solve this both complex and important situation has been an ongoing discussion for years resulting in several architectural competions.The presented proposal focus on and total restoration of the area opening up the historical open water stream and at the same time establishing a new terminal for the east going sub-urban buses and rapid ligt train system. Under a large open air glassroof a new intersection of mayor urban public transport systems created. Thus establishing a new urban revival for a long neglegted part of the Old Town.
