group-www: futurecity-saltholm















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.

with love from www-group

Some things about the future

First I'd like to say that I'm really impressed what you came up with last friday. I hope that you also saw your projects from a different angle by laying out your information in a readable way!

Since information hasn't really been the strongest part of my appearance in this course I'd like to remind you that the following three presentations will be on thursdays instead of the usual fridays:

Next thursday [1 march] will be an external presentation with invited critic Ewa Westermark from Jan Gehl architects in Copenhagen. You may present as you whish, with paper material/models or a digital presentation. Just be precise and clear! We will return with a schedule next week.

Thursday 8 march will be an internal presentation. Let's call it a talk. The objective of this talk is to help you organize your material before the final presentation.

Thursday 15 march is the final presentation. Every group should make a digital presentation, but you can also present additional material in the form of models, sketches etc.

See you tomorrow at 10 for Johannes Pedersens lecture!
