...was kind of non-productive, but very creative. Lots of surfing the internet, lots of coffee and talking. Sketching and writing; not so much.
Results from the surfing sessions and a bonus for you guys, check out these pretty cool links:
www.polarinertia.com
This is a site with photocollections with names like "urban deserts", "berlin wall graphics" or "Tijuana storefronts". Lot's of interesting and surreal urban imagery.
www.mic-ro.com/metro/
This site has lots of nice images and info of Subways in various cities. Even some from Stockholm and Copenhagen.
www.m-city.org
A street art group making murals and graffiti based on stencils around Europe. Pretty neat stuff!
Well, maybe not the most planning oriented links you could find, but at least urban oriented..

watergroup
After a discussion with frederic-fan we decided to narrow down the project a little and focus on:
how the oresund region will be affected by the future climate change and the increased water level.
with these scenarios in mind we will look further into how we can make use of the increased water level to improve the regions possibilities for recreation and outdoor life.
the oresund region has potential to profile it self as a `health region´ but it has to improve and develop the blue and green structure. (we want to create new landscapes in the border between water and land ...trough this we want to create a better accessibility to the water element and develop these areas in to high quality recreational areas.
our idea so far is to develop the possibles future water barriers outside the coastline into not only barriers but recreational places. the integrate land and water in the waterscape and in the landscape.
vision:
to help the oresund region be prepared for the effects of the climate change. the make use of and develop new areas that will be an asset to the region.
wish you all a nice weekend..

Mud and forest and recreation
We are looking into the recreation in central and north eastern Skåne. The places you can go are very nice, but are not very well known. It´s also easily accessed. We went there yesterday to check it out. Maybe we came there out of season, because it was muddy and deserted. We also tried Skånes Djurpark. There were some visitors (lots of danes and some polish). We didn´t enter though, because it was expensive (140 SEK!!!). Instead, we left Höör for Lund and on the way we stopped by Flyinge and saw some horses in MUD and a stork. In mud.
So, now we´re eager to get started with recreation in the region.

Our status and the pin up
We are continuing working with our project, that is going to be a book. We have slightly shifted focus, and are now not working so much with the ecological focus. Instead we have folmulated some aspects that effect sustainability and good development. These aspects are to found some sketches or ideas, presented in various scale and detailing. These will function as strokes in the topik as well as the region, and become a "toolbox" of ideas.
About the PIN UP:
We have'nt had any opportunity to come to school this week to sign the list that we have heard circulates the school. Since Jenny has to leave for Gothenburg at 15.00 (latest) we would like to present before this.
Also we have got no information what so ever in the schedule or the blog on what times the presentation are, (from early morning or just the afternoon?) so we would be glad to hear some update on this.
Hugs and kisses
/ Tina and Jenny

Öresund: A Productive Landscape
Hello Everybody!
We are continuing to develop our ideas... so here is a brief update!
What is productivity nowadays? We are working with a different perspective of productivity that involves natural, cultural and intellectual dimensions. There are three parts to our method: First we are developing a formula -a new tool- that will help us to see the gaps in productivity for the region. Second, we are using these categories to produce existing productivity ratings to illustrate how the region looks in terms of this "multi-layered productive landscape". Lastly, we are creating design ideas of how improved productivity would look in the landscape.
What principles should productivity entail in the future? What are the ways to improve it?
So many questions... we are working on producing the answers!
