Group 1 48 In addition, the new Bakka bridge was also built, which made it difficult for larger ships to sail up to the piers. Trondheim maritime infrastructure needed to be modernized. After Carl Adolf Dahl´s plan for the modernization of Trondheim was accepted in 1876 and the building of a new harbour, which was in the direction of the fjord meant that the centre urban development shifted away from places like Bakklandet. After almost 1000 years of being the centre of Trondheim the piers lost its original function, and that also included Bakklandet.11 The abandonment and the decay During the 20 th century the warehouses of Bakklandet were still in some form of intermittent use for fishers but they were no longer the central place of the city. Since they were not used that often anymore the forecourt increased. They were seen as a problem and in the context of modernism some proposals were made to tear them down. They withstand the second world war without any serious damages and some of them showed signs of decay. However, with the Midtbyen Plan from 1975 wooden houses were seen as a historic image of the city and it was therefore decided that buildings, like the warehouses of Bakklandet, should be preserved.12 9 Troøyen, M. / Johnsen, E.G.: Kjøpmannsgata 27, unpublished Master Thesis, Department of Architecture, NTNU 10 Thomas Hall- Planning and Urban Growth in Nordic Countries 1.
