Project Overview

Stockholmsporten - Gate to Stockholm

The project's center is a pedestrian and bicycle bridge that connects the neighborhoods and countryside on the road's four sides, a work of art and a sculptural landmark: a new symbol for Stockholm.

The artwork interacts with the magnificent landscape and creates a connection in time and space between nature, city and infrastructure. The bridge becomes a passageway and a meeting place where the spectacular and the everyday are tied together.

The bridge’s shimmering materiality varies depending on the viewer's position, movement and speed. The bridge can be viewed from several different perspectives: towards Järvafields undulating topography it appears as a land art piece, from the roads it is perceived as a dynamic sculpture, for pedestrians and cyclists crossing the bridge it creates a kinetic experience, and at night it becomes a light installation.
