Open International Urban Design Competition for Klaksvík City Center

Data końca rejestracji: 27/04/2012

Termin składania prac: 27/04/2012

Miasto: Klaksvik

Kraj: Dania

This urban design competition has been arranged by Klaksvík Town Municipality located in the northern part of the Faroe Islands. This brief is the basis of the urban design competition for the town center in Klaksvík and the competition outline is arranged by Klaksvík Municipality in cooperation with Selmar Nielsen Arkitektur and the competition conditions of Arkitektafelag Føroyar. Th e competition is open to all. Proposals are due by 27th April 2012 at the latest.

Over the last 200 years, Klaksvík has grown from five settlements of a mere 100 people to a modern town of 5000 inhabitants. Th e large and swift population growth was triggered by the growing fi shing industry, which led to the development of the areas along the shore for industrial purposes. Th e central part of town is virtually undeveloped and with a recent landfi ll in the center area, where the shore used to be, you are now invited to enter the contest for providing Klaksvík with a masterplan for a new town center.

This contest was initiated so that Klaksvík may take advantage of the untapped resources that lie in the town’s center. Th e ideas generated by this contest are to be used for the creation and arrangement of Klaksvík’s town center, which will be comprised by new residential and commercial areas, offices, public institutions, and leisure areas; as well as all the services that citizens can expect from a town center. The winning entry will be used as the basis for new building regulations and for inspiration for new construction work in Klaksvík’s center.

In preparation for this contest, Klaksvík Municipality has undertaken an update of its master plan with the main emphasis on projection of future numbers and fi gures, and an updated analysis of commerce and trade in Klaksvík. Together with Klaksvík’s conservation group, municipal records have been made of conservation worthy land areas, buildings, landscapes and other historic sites in Klaksvík, some of which are still recognizable today while others have vanished or been forgotten.

Klaksvík Municipality hopes to receive many entries and will award a total of 800,000 DKK. A 1st place prize of 400,000 DKK and a 2 nd place prize of 150.000 DKK will be awarded, in addition to other purchases of proposals and honorable mentions. More information can be found on Klaksvík’s website www. klaksvik.fo. Th e contest summary and supplemental documents can be downloaded from www.ark.fo.
