The project is particularly focusing on the Strandtorget area which is affected by the Mesna River and Mjøsa lake at the same time. It deals with the area’s vulnerability, emphasizing the urgent need for effective adaptation design.Thus, the asphalt-dominated shopping area, which exceeds the typical scale of the city, was transformed into a wetland park.project imageproject image
