approaching Boden deals with the approaching of a city, both
in a physical sense ? along the road ? and in a spiritual sense ? in
mind. The physical encounter with a city is represented by the
experience of the road and its surroundings, while the spiritual
encounter is represented by the idea of the city that we already
have, or will get, in our minds. We have in this degree project
approached Boden through a thoroughly analysis of both the entrance
roads and the city itself.
In this degree project we are looking for ways of how to create
characteristic and interesting entrance roads to a city, with Boden
as an example. This demands knowledge about the problems
involving entrance roads as well as the distinctive features of the
city. Studies of earlier projects dealing with entrance roads show
examples of how these problems can be solved.
The two analyses methods City Analysis and Character Analysis
of Entrance Roads work as important complement to each other.
The City Analysis gives an understanding of the identity of the
city, through its history, form and the development of its physical
shape. On the other hand the Character Analysis of Entrance
Roads shows the most valuable characters and biggest problems
close to the road.
To show the importance of gathering and integrating different
projects and visions, a number of a current road- and city building
projects that also concern Boden and its entrance roads will
be presented. With this material as a starting point a Design
Program for the Entrances of Boden has been developed, as well
as an alternative road building for the most used entrance road,
road 97 from Luleå. These proposals are all trying to simplify and
strengthen the experience of approaching Boden.
