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.

processes exposed in the Cook School

1 Food & Architecture

Historically, these processes has been based in the town centers. This has been a rational way of minimizing 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 is finding its relevance. It is creating an opening and a possibility to experience food production, both as a student and as a public visitor.

This project is a hybrid as it has a paralell program that is flowing between being a 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 is north-west Malmö, on the edge of the old town, bordering the artificial, 100 year old 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 storage backyard. The huge windtower components, spread over the field, acts as bordering 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 units are working with fish-, meat- and vegetable production. Each of these processes are amplified by a machine. These machines symbolize movement, mechanics, progress 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 its roof work as a landscape flow, for the publics experience-sequence. A journey filled with evocative visions, scents and interactions.

Map of Western Harbour in Malmö with academical buildings highlighted.

The Cook School is layed in to an empty slot in this fictisious ribbon, here it comes to rest between the canal and the huge field of windtower-components.

The closest neighbour is a non-academic building: Enercon Windtower Productions, situated in the old Kockums facilities. This building and it’s program is relevant for the Cook School, hence this one is highlighted as well.

EWP provides a dynamic bordering northfacade, where huge windtowers is constantly being produced, moved around and shipped away. EWP also provides a large quantity of CO2, which is being used as nutrition in the Cook School’s vegetable machine.

Process Food & Architecture is first and foremost taking shape from the food cycle’s functional systems and the characteristics belonging to these events.

In these explorations each event is made up by one or a set of component, which together develops into a diagrammatic concept of the building.

These conceptual models are an exploration of the grid created in the field between the production-units.

The units and the grid also ties to contextual features. where it get strengthened.

Sketchings on top of model snapshot to add information, going back and forth between model and drawing, bluring the boundries that usually keeps the two media apart, high-lighting certain events as physical zones.

These model/sketch studies became a tool to examine contextual features and to give the system a preliminary programmatic zoning, both through notaion and through actual boundries.

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 cycle together, as it collects waste, and produces refined products

Conclusion Food & Architecture is an exploration of architecture as information science; How to observe a building as a system. A system of events, a system of functions, a system of boundries and a system of food.

Where do we interact with the building and what can we see? Where is it prohibited to enter and where are we lead?

The system grew into an organism living in symbiosis with the visitor, since its utmost purpose was communication. Hence the regulations for the system was set up according to the educational program, to explain the food-cycle, both within the school, but even more outwards, to the public sphere.

Competition entry Completed in December 2012 (currently being judged) Urban planning project with focus on sustainability strategies.

This project is done in collaboration with Area Zero Arquitectos and Gutierrez - de la Fuente Arquitectos.

I have been involved in conceptual ideas of the competition entry, regarding drawings I’m the sole author of the axonometric view and the photo collages on page 30-31.

I Floda krävs en attraktiv och variationsrik miljö.

Det ska vara ett grönt samhälle, som respekterar och tar vara på den inspirerande naturen. Invånarna ska fortsätta att vara nära service och kommunikationer. Floda bör också vara näringslivslockande med större genomströmning av folk.

Förslaget i detta projekt är att skapa en tillhörighet för Flodas centrum genom hålbarhetsprinciper ur sociala, ekologiska, tekniska och ekonomiska aspekter. Så att all som bor här känner sig hemma.

Pulsen i centrums byggstenar är platser för möte och socialt engagemang, kulturell förankring, grönstråk, lokala kretslopp, cykel och fotgängareperspektiv, säkerhet, hälsa, samt ett lokalt och mångfaldigt näringsliv

Intorduction Inspired by Amsterdams historical growth, where water has been covered up to fit more buildings, the new mega structure roots itself in the canals as it is hoisted up. Where ever it connects vertically an island appears in the artificial urban archipelago.

The islands reaches out with its bridges and sends away its boats who weaves the grid together.

Where ever it connects vertically an island appears in the artificial urban archipelago. The islands reaches out with its bridges and sends away its boats who weaves the grid together.

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.

Visiting New Amsterdam you follow the canals until you find one of the many turquoise canoes, moored at the new berths. Paddling in under the structure it hoists you and the canoe 30 feet straight up, before leveling out at New Amsterdam’s food market. Continuing to the next level you find some 50 houses with associated allotments and a terraced public space where plants in trellises are dancing in an undulating choreography adjacent to the platforms.

The entire large, hanging ceiling that encapsulates the first floor marketplace is created by agriculture at the level above. Compressed between two parallel streets big bags are filled with soil 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.

Early conceptual sections throug sails in various positions

Brief When looking into municipal action regarding improvement of inner city air, one can’t really find any hands-on solutions. The proposed suggestions lies in raised taxes, better public 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

Narrative 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 the canal of the old central town in Malmö. Even though the traffic is a lot less heavy on the Amirals Bridge on Sundays, there is a lot of movement ahead.

People are gathering up. She sees them carefully touching the glowing sails as they twist in a smooth choreography. She gets a sense of that these surrealist trees are dancing to please their spectators.

As she makes her way into the artificial woodland she hears people in the crowd whispering to each other. She hears someone asking what this “machine” is, and another; what it does. Some are amazed and some confused.

The spaces in-between the sails are slowly and constantly changing as she stands there for a minute trying to understand the friendly alien that is occupying her park.

She approaches one of the sails, looks through the transparent acrylic facets, into the turbid, green liquid being tossed around by a constant flow of air bubbles in a beautiful twirling manner. She gives the semi-opaque panel a gentle push and it softly slides away.

Looking up, at about tem meters height, there is an arch-shaped structure sliding circumferentially, in response to her push, in which the top of the sail is suspended by a steel wire.

Underneath the arches there are groups of translucent pipes crisscrossing in different layers, tying each sail to a bunch of big, elevated spheres clustering over by the parking. Intrigued by the spheres she starts walking under the glowing ceiling. Closing in, the sound of running water gradually increases, this sound are backed up by various types of mechanical, buzzing and humming noises, it somehow 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 rocking and vibrating, only a few inches above ground. She grabs one of the tubes, feeling the flow 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 cleaners” are sucking in contaminated air and then filtrating it through the sails, which he refers to 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.

So it’s algae she thinks, she has heard about algae air purification systems but never before seen one.

As she crosses the street, she takes a few seconds pause at the pedestrian refuge, looking straight up at one of the dining table-sized suction filters shifting sides. Walking on she is looking back over her shoulder, studying the installation from far, as its emerald green glow blends together with the orange leaves of its neighbors.

A new building for Malmรถ University next to Malmรถ Central Station Through the process of weaving and first and foremost looking at weaving as a structural element, the project has grown to a tower.

Using paper as primary building material a form took shape and a certain set of rules were set.

The papers inbound way of bending and twisting gave the tower its characteristics. The voids in between the strips of paper became the apertures with various size and density depending on program.

Project description Into it is an exibition building for Lund University.

It is placed on a very exciting site near the central station.

The site is open and green if compared with the blocks nearby. It has a lot of old trees and the existing buildings are scattered.

The altitude difference is interesting since the street inclines about two meters, as the site lays two meter below the street. making a total altitude difference of four meters.

I wanted to take care of the park and not directly block it of from the street, therefore the concept of the hill.

The building itself is partly hidden underground and the roof creates platforms that bridges the park with the sidewalk. The roof is clad with grass strengthening the perception of the hill.

The building is closed to the street in the south, and open to the park in the north. this gives the rooms inside a wonderful passive light. An other important sourse of light, as well as an charachteristic element, are the tall roof lights which brings sunlight to the inner parts of the buildning. They also create a possibility of peeking.

The buildings insides are flexible, open areas with moveable inner walls and interesting connections between the floors with the staircases and elevator in contact with the entrance.

A flow is created by openeing the building on each floor towards the park and also letting the park extend itself by ramps even to the highest roof, creating a beautiful viewing spot.

The year is 2028 and a new building is to be built in the Tuna Park in Lund.

In this projekt the first question one should ask oneself is: Do people in the future really want to live in pods, or are they more interested in what has been, and perhaps they want to know how their parents and grandparents lived?

I call this projekt Grand Collage Architecture as I went through different periods of time, and played with combining building characteristics that i felt representad each of these. Hence the name.

The body with its 90 degree angles, flat roof and three floors is taken from the functionalistic era in the fifties and sixties. The bridging elements are inspired by eighties and nineties hi-tech architecture. The ornaments on the balcony are late19th century jugent. And the placing as a building-in-park can be lead to the modernist thinking.

There are even social aspects as a common work space for the residents in the spirit of collective residents in the sixties and seventies. From todays modern swedish residential buildings I stole the concept of mixed apartment sizes. On the facade i’ve created a interesting expression by making foldable balconys, that will make the building dynamic as it will change due to season and weather etc.

The balconys has multiple functions, when closed they create extra insulation and when open the solar panels that are cast into the glass, faces the sky perpendicular, thus getting maximum effect. five week project | year 2

Slow Stairs is a project where a quite big block where to be pierced through.

Taking advantage of the slight altitude difference, a large stairs- and ramp-system is superimposed into the block. This system create south west facing seats in the public room.

The entrances to the area in both north and south are existing doors. I.e. you have to enter throug a narrow portal to get into the openess of the new public space.
