The city of Trondheim, in central Norway, has a strong industrial past thanks to its strategic location on the fjord. The former working-class district of Buran is now one of the city's most diverse areas, and it is here that a new urban park is being created that will be a model of circular economy in landscape architecture, so much so that it will be published by the NLA (Norwegian Association of Landscape Architects) in 2023.

The industrial and working-class history of the neighborhood inspires the geometric composition of the park through a use of colors, playful structures, and artistic expressions that aim to evoke a raw, industrial aesthetic. The spaces feature colorful and playful elements framed by lush vegetation. Preserving the pre-existing rows of trees was key to rooting the project in the local context and reinforcing the spatial experience of the park.

Agraff Arkitektur's main aim was also to achieve a balanced mix of functions, where the different areas of activity intertwine, encouraging spontaneous encounters and fluid interactions. Several seating areas were placed around the activity areas to accommodate a wider audience and encourage longer stays in the park.

Recycling is a central theme in the planning and design of the park, drastically reducing the environmental impact. Many existing elements were salvaged and integrated into the new landscape, while much of the vegetation was preserved and non-reused materials were catalogued and sent to Trondheim Municipality's reuse depot, ensuring responsible resource management.
