Prizes: 1st Prize 100.000 SEK (€ 11.300)
Type: Open competition for architects and architecture students in two stages with 5 teams selected
International architecture competition Swedavia Airport Innovation Challenge to design and scope out a ground noise reducing device, which can be placed between the runway and the residential area of Bromma Kyrka. The device could, for example, be a shield, a wall or some other installation – we do not have any preferences for any specific solution!
Bromma Stockholm Airport is Stockholm’s city airport, situated only nine kilometres from Stockholm city centre. There are people living in close proximity to the airport, for example in the residential area of Bromma Kyrka. The closest residents in this area live approximately 180 meters from the airport runway. The area is exposed by ground noise; i.e. from aircrafts starting up their engines and taxiing towards and away from the runway, and from service vehicles operating at the airport. For this reason Swedavia has decided to identify a possible ground noise reducing solution for the residential area of Bromma Kyrka.
Swedavia is looking for a solution that represents innovation and clever design. There is no preference for a particular type of solution, but the solution must follow certain criteria in terms of feasibility, noise reduction, financial soundness and aesthetics. It is important for Swedavia and for the residents in Bromma Kyrka to find the best solution for this challenge!
The solution has to be possible to implement, regarding construction and materials etc., at the time of entering the competition.
The submissions will be evaluated according to a set of criteria with the purpose of generating high quality ideas. Below are the four main judging criteria:
- Feasibility: How feasible the idea is to implement
- Noise reduction: How well the idea reduces noise
- Aesthetics: The idea should be well-fitted to the environment and pleasing to the eye
- Cost efficiency: The solution needs to be thought through from a financial perspective
