'Swedish practice White Arkitekter has completed the Exercisfältet Stormwater
Pond in Uppsala, Sweden, providing water purification and flood protection
while also creating a biodiverse landscape for local residents.
The pond is located in Exercisfältet, a former military training area that has
recently been subject to a large amount of development that has reduced water
infiltration.
Instead of treating the pond as a purely infrastructural project, White
Arkitekter took the opportunity to create a biodiverse environment around the
pond to "celebrate the joy of being part of nature".
"With all the new demands on public spaces that come with climate adaptation,
it's very important that landscape architects engage creatively with technical
requirements," lead architect Charlotta Råsmark told
Dezeen.'
