'meeting lines' envisions a new masterplan for stockholm's main urban hub slussen ('the lock'), linking the city's two main islands -
gamla stan and södermalm - together via three bridges; as well as connecting lake mälaren to saltsjön bay and the cliff on södermalm to quays on both islands.
presented at the 13th venice architecture biennale, the scheme was developed by jean nouvel and mia hägg of habiter autrement
and addresses one of the most important meeting and trades sites of the swedish capital which is currently a concrete block composed of an over-scaled
roadway system which sees neighbourhoods as isolated zones rather than united.

rather than destroying what is in place at the moment, the scheme sees the integration of the three connecting arteries into the existing built landscape,
each one set in place to host distinct programs: stockholm living room - a lounge area for the city extending over the subway; stockholm gardens -
a park running 500m over the main roadway; and stockholm rialto - an extension of the quay to the new lock. together, these circulation systems will transform
this congested and much polluted section of stockholm into a more open plan - an inviting venue for all seasons, with climate protected decks for the winter,
and open decks for the summer offering sightlines in all directions, as well as newly-established waterfront promenades and bikelanes,
enhancing the public transit and maritime systems. in addition, they will also host shops, cafés and other commercial areas, encouraging new ways of
inhabiting and moving around the diverse areas of the city.
