CHORA BrainBox CHORA Architecture and Urban Design London

Working for CHORA in London, I have been able to contribute to their work on the BrainBox, a prototype proposed in several locations, including Tianjin, China and Berlin, Germany. The BrainBox is an interactive environment for planning and negotiation of dynamic masterplans. It is a real-time modelling, decision-making and management tool that enables different stakeholders to create, assess and modify scenarios of development for a particular area. The scenarios are created by direct interaction between the stakeholders and through their real-time manipulation of a digital database.

Tianjin. The BrainBox incorporated into a disused tower in Tianjin, China, as part of a SmartCity Control Centre.

4 “ We Believe In...” 2013

“This evolving program will flourish within a versatile, generously dimensioned structure whose layout, connection and modularity capacities mean that it can not only host foreseen spatial situations, but also allows new situations to be imagined. This extremely spacious post-and-beam structure, devoid of solid walls, is a structure for freedom, a creative structure that will incite exchanges and surprises.”

“We believe in...”

LACATON&VASSAL ARCHITECTES

“We believe in the capability of a structure to engage activities and beings; to create society.”

During my time working at Lacaton&Vassal Architectes in Paris, France, I had the chance to be part of a small team working on the conception of the design for the first stage of the Nobel Center Competition. The proposal was for a new center for the Nobel Foundation at Blasieholmen in Stockholm, including new quarters for the Nobel Museum, a Nobel Library as well as an auditorium for the annual Nobel Prize Ceremony.

After having had my Master’s Thesis project chosen as the best project in Sweden within the Alfa European Union Programme ADU2020’s Parallel Pilot Project 2012, I was able to participate in the ReThinking DiverCity Workshop in Guayaquil, Ecuador. The project concerned proposing a future for the Barrio del Astillero - the historical shipbuilding district - of Guayaquil. Our strategy consisted in imagining an “urban explosion” originating from the informal market - the Bahía- on the Eastern border of the widely abandoned district.

6 Barrio del Astillero 2013 BOARD GAME After creating a limited amount of flexible, small-scale ideas for an urban intervention - such as using the constructive and aesthetic language of the shipbuilding industry as well as utlising simple storage boxes connected to existing and proposed structures, we took our ideas to the streets of the Barrio del Astillero to try them out through the medium of a board game. The players could, through the game, take on the role as - for example - the politician, the vendor or the fisherman and through these different perspectives make wishes for the future of the area.

rethinking waste

- a study of the concept and handling of waste and wastespaces through the case of pruitt-igoe CHALMERS UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY MASTER’S THESIS Examinator: Ana Betancour Supervisor: Carl-Johan Vesterlund

Full text pdf: http://issuu.com/asa.s.m.berggren/docs/mtrethinkingwaste CHOSEN AS BEST PROJECT FROM SWEDEN WITHIN THE Alfa European Union Programme ADU2020’s Parallel Pilot Project 2012 ABSTRACT Words such as ’waste’, ’rubbish’, ’trash’ and ’garbage’ conjure up certain problematic images for most of us. These are words that imply separation, abandonment, loss, decline and, potentially, failure and death. Yet they are an inevitable part of not only consumerist society, but of life itself, and cannot be ignored. In all societies, throughout history, there have been, are, and will be waste things, waste people, wasted lives and wasted time.

However, nothing is intrinsically waste. Waste is the opposite of that which a society considers useful, clean, productive or desirable. Waste is defined by an order that is not absolute: though the existence of waste is constant, its definition differs from culture to culture, from time to time. Waste in relation to space can take many forms. Wastespaces, urban wastelands, drosspaces, urban voids, terrains vagues or dead zones can be found all over the civilized world, be it in the shape of former industrial sites, wild greenspaces, ruins or vacant lots. These landscapes, often considered problematic eyesores, represent the forgotten, the abandoned, the thrown away - that which is considered wasted.

Can these inevitable waste landscapes, unwanted people and thrown away objects serve a valuable purpose in the otherwise increasingly homogenized and ordered city and in the lives of its citizens? Using the example of the growing wasteland left behind after the demolition of the Pruitt-Igoe project in St. Louis, Missouri, this thesis aims to explore the merits of waste and wastespaces, both symbolic and practical. Furthermore, it looks for possibilities to retain these potential merits when redeveloping urban wastespaces, as well as incorporating the same values into the design of new public space.

THE SITE - PRUITT-IGOE

In 1972, the first of the 33 slab blocks that made up the Pruitt-Igoe social housing project in St. Louis, Missouri was demolished. Today, 40 years later, the site remains untouched. A forest has grown in the place of the infamous housing project, and the houses in the areas surrounding it have gradually been abandoned.

Built in 1880 to serve the Polish community in St Louis, St. Stanislaus Kostka church is still in use.

Site mapping.

Mapping of the site revealed that apart from the thriving forest, there are many inhabited homes, active schools and churches, as well as several organisations working to stage small-scale interventions, organise activities and connect the local community.

Perhaps no urban rebirth has officially arrived, but the area is clearly not dying.

THE ABANDONED HOUSES

When we started to study the Pruitt-Igoe site in St.Louis, Missouri, in order to create a proposal for the open competition PRUITTIGOE NOW (www.pruittigoenow.org), we were stricken by the beauty of the urban forest this site has become. Whether the architecture of Pruitt-Igoe was a success or a failure, Nature is creating a new reality for what was left after its destruction. While this destruction, plus the abandonment of buildings around the site, constitutes the end of something, it can also be seen as a progression towards something new.

The result: Pruitt-Igoe Park. The site is given to animals of all species that roam free among (and inside) the abandoned houses.

At the same time, it remains an open space in the city, belonging to anyone who passes through it: a little bit of madness in the middle of St. Louis, where the rules of civilized city life are inverted and anyone is welcome.

Where urban regeneration might introduce new human activity, Pruitt-Igoe Park houses less civilized inhabitants.

PRE-ANALYSIS. In collaboration with Jérémy Aufrère and Pauline Huguet

DELFT. The current situation of the area along the channel was analyzed and the consequences of the future traintunnel, which will remove the barrier of the railroad, was evaluated.

When the Central Staion of Delft and the South station, Delft Zuid, will no longer be connected by an overground railway, there is a possibility to make the connection between the two into a central axe for pedestrians and cyclists.

This way, the channel no AMBITION: “Unifying” and connecting by strenghtening key points around the longer serves as the central axe. analyzed area.

CHALMERS UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY On Vågmästareplatsen, in the heart of a developing residential area in Gothenburg, a new Market Hall is proposed. With its metal roof and glass walls it is like an outdoor market appropriated to the Swedish climate.

1. Three squares and a market area are created within a grid that covers most of Vågmästareplatsen. The street level in the buildings to the North of the site will contain commerce.

2. Two concrete “boxes” containing toiiets, staff rooms, and storage creates a separation from the traffic of the surrounding roads in the South and West. In the market area four stalls, each with an individual roof, are placed.
