Project description When we meet food-products today we meet a package, and we are, close to never exposed for the production laying behind these products. Historically, these processes has been based in the town centers. This has been a rational way of minimiing transport and have access to fresh goods. -Why transport meat to the market-square when the cow can walk there itself? But since the industrial revolution, these productions has been located outside the cities, thus making them “invisible” for the public. In these problematics the Cook School production, both as a student and as a public visitor.

production unit and an academic institution. Here the focus is on exposing the cycle of food, to gain a greater understanding and respect for the origin of the things we eat. The main issue adressed in this project is the general lack of knowledge regarding food production and the origin of the raw product. A sharp critisism against this un-sustainable and naive way of living has been the point of deparure when going into the design. The educational focal point is not on the inbound academical institution as an isolated event, but on the publics experience of the work that takes place inside. The production of food is exposed and daramatized by the buildings expressive body. An expressivness inpired by the history of the site, where a shipyard used to lay. An industrial landscape crowded by machines and components soon to be assembled. This geographical context peninsula called Western-harbour. One of the system the Cook School interact with is Malmö University, whose academic buildings lies like a ribbon between the two historical entities. An other contextual system on the site is Enercon Windtower Production’s dering facade to the Cook School, where it roots itself between the industrial backyard and the canal. In the Cook School a number of food-production units are set to play, along with consumption and waste-recycling to obtain and examine a small-scale, closed cycle. The

and production. As components in the greater machinery, they make up the cornerstones of the building. Morphologically the building has been assembled by strategically distributing the production machines according to contextual features. Between these a one-storey plinth is sunken into the landscape, meeting the canal. The plinth houses the school while with evocative visions, scents and interactions.

waste

The Waste machine is in the same family as the three food machines but it acts in an other way. It has no moving exterior parts, instead it spreads its tubes throughout the building, where it ties the

Project description

This project is escaping reality’s constraints and every-day conventions, looking at the built object as a conglomeration of metaphors, discussing the representation of the abstract with technical line drawing as the primary tool. This type of tool for representation creates a challenging paradox, where the more suggestive render or collage would have been convention. A mechanical system is occupying the airspace over Amsterdam, questioning the built structures traditional relationship to the ground. From up there, one can observe the everlasting spectacle in the picturesque coulisse-city, which lies down there as a commercially polluted cultural relic. The new structure becomes an obvious part of the city but it requires a certain kind of independence since it takes a step away from much of what is Amsterdam today. A virtual border between the cities is set. New Amsterdam is popping up like islands out of the many canals that slice through the old city. This border is giving the mega-structure a symbolic autonomy.

and crops. On the outside of these streets residential buildings are clinging. The strong maritime culture in old Amsterdam has inspired to these new homes with features and characteristics of boats. The dwellings are generally tightly moored along the new streets, but when the new locals need more privacy or a daily variation they un-moor and let their house slide out over the old city. Housing units in New Amsterdam are not pre-designed, but are here represented as an empty frame, where the content will change as new needs or desires are created, according to the metabolist movement’s strategies. The new locals build their home within this frame, creating an endless variety of expression. The frame has no predetermined internal functions but it has several external features and transformative functions: Screens and surfaces can be unfolded, parts of the frame can be detached thus create boundaries or connections (virtual as well as physical) to the old (and new) Amsterdam. For example there are possibilities to connect two or more frames and share facilities, as well as to shield off with physical barriers. Any of these positions are reversible and continuous transformation encouraged.

Thesis When looking into municipal action regarding improvement of inner city air, one can’t really transportation, efforts in purifying fuels, and so on. Of course all of these things are great, but I think awareness needs to be raised in a more direct way. I have created a scheme that will affect both the public and the environment. I would like to call it an attractor, a node that pronounces itself through phenomenological impression with the public, in a way that everybody will be touched, attracted or maybe disgusted by. This is an experiment in trying to communicate a message through drawings and models combined with the art of narrative

Sketching in models, various morphological states depending on sun movement

Southern Sweden, late 2011 All of a sudden there is a glow between the trees, she speeds up her steps on her evening walk along

surrealist trees are dancing to please their spectators. other. She hears someone asking what this “machine� is, and another; what it does. Some are amazed and some confused.


Early conceptual sections throug sails in various positions

reminds her of the familiar sounds in the laundry machine at home. A few meters away a group of kids has stacked their bikes in a pile and are competing about who dares to climb to the top of the spheres. The cluster of tubes, hanging out through the dense grid of valves on the side of the spheres, are within it. It is not much thicker than an arm, she thinks. Her eyes start to wander along the tubes and pipes as she unconsciously is trying to get a perception of the infrastructural organization and circulation of the system. There are two unlit pipes up there, running down to the canal and out into the water. She can see some kind of water pump working out there, but it is a bit too far to fully percept in the October dusk. Continuing her walk through the hi-tech pavilion that inhabits the public space, she sees six high poles neatly distributed over the pedestrian refuge in the big road leading over the Amirals Bridge. On the top of each pole there are some type of machine. She overhears a conversation by a man who is pointing up, towards the machines, telling his friend that, what he refers to as “the vacuum as “the algae tanks�. The man tells his friend to come back in the daytime when all the sails follow the movement of the sun in a synchronized choreography. As she crosses the street, she takes a few seconds pause at the pedestrian refuge, looking straight her shoulder, studying the installation from far, as its emerald green glow blends together with the orange leaves of its neighbors.
