BIOENDEV: OFFICE SPACE

CONFERENCE KITCHEN

OFFICE

The project is an office space for a bioenergy company based in Ume책. Their product is a technique for drying pellets.The concept for the interior derives from a strategy to create a low budget design while still communicating the identity of the company. The materials used are pine-plywood to connect to the product which is prepared of residues from the forestry. In addition we have worked with reinforcement bars to communicate the industrial technique-part of the company.

The intervention included replacing the old, beige, plastic

INHABITING THE HINTERLAND: MAPPING VÄNNÄS

Presented above: an investigation of Fällforsvägen in a series of sections. The sections are placed to show the diversity of contrast experienced along the road. The purpose of the investigating sections is to explore the site character and potential.

1. Apartment house facing farm house 2. Farm houses on each side of the road 3. Suburbia facing open fields 4. Dwellings growing from Fällforsvägen by intersection street (Göransvägen) 5. Lack of connected infrastructure Fällforsvägen- north underpass 6. Activity around Hammarskolan in contrast to unused area on the south side 7. The end of Lägret, car and bike underpass connects Fällforsvägen with Vännäs city

COLLECTIVE DWELLING: INHABITING THE STAIR Visiting V채nn채s, what becamos apparant is the absence of interaction within the suburban part of the city.

The schools relating to the suburban area are exceptions, where a simple element such as the staircase can work as a common space. Deriving from this, the stair is the starting point from where the project develops.The main purpose is to investigate in how the staircase can through its circulation generate a sense of community for its users.

The proposal suggests three plots connecting to the main road, extending the transition and creating a public space. The choice of site is related with the possibility to interact with already existing buildings and infrastructure. By adding a public space where there previously was a private driveway, the idea is to break up the preconsisting transition and provide a different way of moving.

The proposal is a collective housing where you have a private bedroom but share programs such as bathroom, kitchen and laundry with the other dwellers. Toilets, dishwashing, laundry and such services are placed inside the loadbearing shafts. One of the shafts also contains an elevator.

The ground floor contains a public atrium, and the first floor contains a public library that is visually linked to the school lying across the road. On the second floor are the first apartments.

Every sleeping unit has a full height window facing the surroundings and is connected to an indoor balcony overlooking the atrium.

The stair provides an opportunity to do more than just travel from one floor to another.The user has at all times an open view over the stairwell and therefore interacts, intentionally or unintentionally, with other users.

THE STRUCTURE

CABLE SUPPORT

The load bearing structure consists of four shafts, located in each corner of the cubic building.

The shafts supports a steel truss, following a 2500 millimetres by 2500 millimetres grid.

The slabs which are not supported by the shafts are carried by cables hanging from the roof, connecting to the joints of the steel truss.

THEORY WORKSHO P: BIRD NEST

30

PROFFESIONAL WORK / UMA 2 /UMA 1

The stance is that matter has pre consistent capabilities and is in itself morphogenetic.The unrealized capabilities are potential capacities of the matter.

The potentials are virtual and deals with what the matter can do, and not what it is.The matter can be actualized from it’s virtual state.The concept of diagram can be understood as the abstract machine actualizing the virtual; the motor behind the becoming. The past and the present are both pregnant with virtualities which can become actual.The becoming then must be understood not as a linear system but as a system that is constant and never closed. In this way, nothing is ever static but is always becoming.

Guattari and Deleuze develops in their book A thousand plateaus the idea of two important types of structures; strata and self consistent aggregates.

Strata is the process where homogenous elements are sorted and cemented. An example is the creation of sedimentary rock.The river sorts pebbles of homogenous size and shape, and distribute them into almost uni-form layers. The layers are then cemented into a more or less �architectonic� structure. The motor behind this process can be understood as an abstract machine, the diagram, actualizing the becoming.

The same diagram can be seen in the bird building its nest. The sticks used to constructing the nest are pregnant with virtualities before becoming a nest. Like the river, the bird sorts the sticks and consolidates the structure by weaving them together. By doing this, the virtualities of the strata, the sticks, have become actualized in the form of a nest. This can however not be understood as an endpoint to the process of becoming, since the nest is also pregnant with virtualities.

The articulation of sorting and cementing can also be seen in human constructs, such as in architecture; where the architect choose and sort the material and then cements it into an actualized form.

The genesis of form through an abstract machine, a diagram, has to be intuitively understood. You can never see the diagram, you can only sense what it does.

BATH PROJECT: BĂ–LESHOLMARNA PIER The concept is a building which works as a public space on the outside, while still being a private place for relaxation on the inside. The starting point was to add value to BĂślesholmarna; to extend the public life that already takes place there; where people jump from lianas and enjoys sunbathing in the sand. The bath is placed between the island and land, where there is less current, facing south.

Like a pier, the building goes out into the water.

To promote activities it has a slide, an amphitheatre, sundecks and places to dive or climb into the water. In winter, the slide on the outside becomes a slope.

The bath consists of three main volumes, containing pool, restaurant and reception and

restaurant & reception

changing rooms and sauna. The underwater volume contains a the saltwater pool, intended for relaxation.To minimize sensorial impressions, and allow a calm place for floating, the pool is placed under water to block out sound and have only a small amount of light. A form of therapy, floating helps with stress relief.

The outside program is public, while the inside program is private and requires a fee to get in.

The inside is separated from the outside by a wood lattice facade which regulates light and transparency. In the most private areas, the changing rooms, showers, toilets and sauna, the lattice is dense and hides the inside from the outside. In the less private areas, the restaurant and the relaxation area, the lattice is less dense to allow more sunlight.

NA RRATI V E S C EN A RI O : SALT C HA P EL Year: fall 2014 Duration: 3 weeks Location: Skogskyrkog책rden, Stockholm Professor: Clara Rodriguez Objective: propose a chapel for funerals, consisting of one room, deriving from the element of water.

NARRATIVE SCENARIO: SALT CHAPEL The proposal is an open chapel built from bricks of salt. Deriving from the element of water; the idea is that rain water causes the chapel to melt.

In this way the walls of the chapel works the same way that sorrow does. Sorrow, at first, overwhelms you and you are completely enclosed by your sadness. As time goes by, it becomes easier to bear and you start being able to see beyond it. Eventually, when you have let the sorrow go, it still leaves a mark and will always affect you. In the same way, when you enter the chapel the first time, you feel enclosed by the walls in the bright, open space. As time passes, the bricks are deteriorated by rain.You start seeing beyond the walls. Eventually the walls

of the chapel will have completely dissapeared.

What remains is a permanent mark in the ground where nothing can grow.

The atmosphere before entering the chapel is dark and narrow. The brickwork in the entrence is being curved inwards, to make the space feel more narrow than it actually is. The bricks are placed next to each other to close out light. You then enter a large, bright and open space. The brickwork is curved outwards, enhancing the openess and adding to the sense of vastness. The bricks are placed using a brick lattice pattern which allows light to enter between every brick.

INVISIBLE CITIES: ZE NOBIA

After reading Italo Calvino’s text about the city of Zenobia in Invisible cities, the task was to identify, imagine and formulate the atmosphere and the spatial character of the city.The outcome would be materialising the characteristics of the city, studing the way it works in the different scales, extracting from the text the quality and way of living in the imaginary city.

We built a 1:1000 model that represented the collectivity of a neighborhood in the city. We also built a 1:1 perceptive modell of the depiction of Zenobia.

We understood the city of Zenobia as a city that is always transforming within itself. Working with the triangle, we found a way to generate endless combinations of form with a simpe geometry.
