A shift in perspective

The Öresund region has the potential for a multi-layered landscape. We have the cities that offer cultural productivity, recreation, intellectual development opportunities and good connections. The countryside offers healthy lifestyle, good agricultural production, potential for recreation, and production of goods. Is that all? Could these things be mixed? Cultural production and technological innovation in the countryside, urban agriculture and a farm park in the cities. Recreation accessible and everywhere! A shift in perspective.
What if we measure the territory in productivity? What would this look like? We used new categories to measure productivity instead of only economic gain. Use all that you can get from a portion of territory but in a sustainable and efficient way.

Thinking Outside the Box

"Mallrats"

We're exploring the dark side of consumerism, which would be the planning and architecture.
We have been looking at how the Öresund Region will deal with population growth in the future, as pressures increase on infrastructure and services to the public. We think the edges of urban areas are key points for this growth, which makes shopping centers a great place to start.
The shopping center today plays an important role in people’s daily lives. It is used for shopping, leisure and as a meeting place. However, the planning of shopping centers currently creates many challenges to make future growth in the region more sustainable. It is our goal to come up with a future plan that is both sustainable and innovative.

hallo!

we have splitted up now into 2 different groups. we are still 1 group, but we develop 2 differential scenarios/visions for a rising seelevel (because of the climate change) in the oresundregion.

maggy and me are working on the vision `futurecity-Saltholm´. if the seelevel would rise 1 meter, this island between denmark and sweden would be flooded. we want to create there something like venice. a new city/livingspace for swedish and danish people. it should be a sustainable idea of creating a new city: it will probably include sustainable means of transport, protected areas and recreationareas, and so on.
we started with an analysis of the island ( size, ground level, animals, ...) and to find out information about sustainable urban structur.
our idea won´t be 100 % realistic but it should be an idea/ vision of how it could look like in about 100 years.


We (Karolina and Sara) are working with Falsterbo, which is one of the areas that will be worst damaged by higher sea levels. We work with a more realistic and protecting suggestion.

Skanör- Falsterbo has both valuable small scale residential areas, nature reserves and beautiful beaches that we consider to be very important to the region. With an increased water level of 1 m more than half of the area will be flooded. In some areas the problem is already a fact and something has to be done very soon.

Our strategy is to analyse the area with SWOT-analysis and then go deeper into analysing the values that exist and will disappear with increased water levels.

We will go on with the analysis of Falsterbo and then focus on how to protect Falsterbo from floods without loosing the identity of the area.

Identity – deconstruction – new identity?

see you tomorrow, or today in magasinet..we will be there today very very very long, because we have much work.
