Group assignment
SOPHRONIA Our text were about a city called Sophronia. A city with two parts. One part is a tivoli and the other are hospitals and schools and so on.

First thought of how our space would look like.
Trying to create what we want.

How can we improve.
Stairs to create a new level and a light entre that suck you in.
Mirror-box with fences to create a felling of being in prison. Tunnel with two ways to create a option.
Playing with light to lead the visitor. We also created sequences with this plastic “wall�.
The tape is to make a connection to the place to the left. We took the sound from the group to the right. See the movie and experience our Sophronia.

Future city
I wanted to create a Utopia. A city where the individual where in centre. I wanted to create a city with a basic structure which isn’t questioned, And I wanted to add a new way of moving freely within that structure.
Economy Group research.
Standard Become My solution
I thought that with a standard we could erase the bad behaviours that humans pursued now a days. Can we for example take away the car and replace it with something else? It would set a new standard for how people move. While thinking of standard It hit me: why not do everything standardized?
We found this pic but with the motto “in greed we trust”. since the only light future we could see were a future there we took care of our nature so I changed the it to “in green we trust”. In the past we could see a trend. Between the crisis there were a green movement.
What is an utopia and a dystopia?
FUN STANDARD, BETTER?
A crazy standard. In the nature with pigs as transportation.
For me.
Utopia Freedom Justice
Dystopia Supervision No choices
UTOPIA?
Can it be a utopia when everything looks the same?
CAN YOU BE HAPPY IN A WORLD OF STANDARD?
Is there any good standard? Based on what?
Nature and human.
What about weird standard?
Imagine a city there you charged your phone and etc in a pig’s snout and that the only Vehicle are big pink balloons. Good or bad? Better or worse? Anything Interesting?
Pigs stupid, Balloons Interesting!
The future technique, a new way to move.
What kind of city do I want to Create? I wanted to create a city with a basic structure which isn’t questioned, And I wanted to add a new way of moving freely within that structure. The balloons are my addition that providing the free movement for the individual. So how should my basic structure look like?
Basic structure
References: MANHATTAN ÅLIDHEM
MY STRUCTURE I WANT TO COME UP a STANDARD, A MODULE that I can build my city on. Houses and streets can be built up from these units. The smallest unit will be one suitable for an apartment. What dimensions could work as the Smallest space? After some thinking about spaces I’ve experienced the answer Became 5 x 5 x 5 meters.
Structure and freedom
Topological Feature
As the diagram shows I search for structure and freedom. Since the balloons makes it possible to move freely both vertical and horizontal, the free Movement will existing between the built structure, The higher you get more freely you can move.
The street level doesn’t have the same purpose in a city organized in this way. The balloons have created a Vertical street. The city can be place on the shoreline where there might be a flood, independent of the ground for transportation.
Model 1:200
Looked on how the flood may effect the city.
Model 1:100
Looked into how would it be on street level.

The free movement creates a problem. The diagrams shows the city’s private and public spaces
Spacial croquis of my abstarct models. Since you will have people outside your window even if you living on the 35th floor you aren’t totally private inside your apartment. Spacial croquis of school.
Solution: priva-lite with distance- sensitivity.

Sketches of how to get in and out from appartment.
See the film “shadow” Showing how the facade reacts to the balloons.
Balloon The Balloon are added to the city to create disorder in the order/ standardized houses and city planning system. It also questions the notion of standard. Because All the standard we live with now aren’t optimal. I also want to keep something from my “fun standard”. that’s why they are pink and still are balloons and not replaced with something else more efficient. I appreciate the floating movement. It questions how we move. See the movie “balloons movement”.
Today
vs.
future
Balloon My future city
A city where standard Is questioned. Balloon is probably an utopia for some and dystopia for others. If I could move in there today I would see it as an utopia. The individual has a free movement in Balloon. The standard for the smallest apartment is big compared with todays standard. The basic structure can be easily accepted because we can imagine it. See the movie “flying in Balloon� and get a feeling of how it would be in balloon.
