Stockholm Shorelines

A set of small interventions arguing that a city built on islands barely touches its own water. Swimming rafts are scattered into neighbourhoods with no bathing nearby, compact cold bathhouses with saunas and water stairs line the quays, and football pitches float at Liljeholmskajen, Söder Mälarstrand and Hornsbergs strand.

The connective move is to hang walking and cycling routes from the foundations and arches of bridges that already exist. Årstabroarna, Västerbron and Tranebergsbron all gain one, with a new opening bridge between Masthamnen and Saltsjökvarn.
