Presentation, evaluation and exhibition

Presentation
Thursday is presentation day. Gunilla Lindholm and (Tiina Sarap) will be the external critics. The schedule is posted below. As always we have a tight schedule so please, be precise in your presentation. We have 20 minutes per group, but quite many breaks, so if a discussion is to interesting, I’m sure we will be able to finish it. Sabina has promised to be a very orderly timer, though!

Cocktail hour
After the presentation – at 16.00 - the course management will provide you with drinks and snacks, so please don’t book something else right afterwards!

Evaluation
Friday morning, 10.00 – 12.00 we will have a common course evaluation. It will be done digitally in Spiltan and Stallet (in the library) Sabina will supervise it. Handing in the evaluation is compulsory and a must for passing the course. We are of course eager to hear your opinions, critique and ideas for improving the course!

Exhibition
We would like the course process and results to be visible to the rest of the school. Therefore, we would like you to print you presentations and other material and place it in the corridor on Friday afternoon. Don’t think about this before Friday – just focus on your presentations! More details on how to place you material on the walls will follow! Make sure that all your material is nicely organized and placed in the o-vision map at Lerbert.

300 kr
Please bring 300 kr, as we agreed will be the administrative costs for this course, to pay to Sabina at friday.

Grading
Gunilla, Sabina and Fredrik will meet and grade all foreign students. Swedish students can also be graded if that is a whish. Please mail one of us in that case.

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.
