Depending on the method of appreciation it took me several tens of minutes or a few years to make this…

Started at Gothenburg Art academy, finished during swineflu absence at school of architecture…

Akropolis/Metropolis

architecteur — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 23:23:14 +0000

Long time – no blogging, i thought i’d upload a few images from a project i made at the chalmers school of architecture last term. The title of the project was akropolis/metropolis and, briefly explained, it consisted of a housing project on top of a commercial/public development in downtown Gothenburg where a portion of the city with great water contact is up for exploitation due to a new traffic situation.

The project related to the postmodern urbanist trends in the municipal plan by exagerating the mixed styles sought after in the development plan for the adjacent blocks and turning it in to a vertical mix of functions and styles.

As i’m a fan of complexity (especially in an urban context) 0ne concept certainly wasn’t enough, the housing project was directed especially at single young academics who work a lot and are interested in experiencing the positive sides of collective living without the many of the major drawbacks, it also explored the possibility of advertising on facades with windows to help fund otherwise rather exclusive forms of accomodation. In fact there were even more concepts at work than that, but i think a hint at the complexity of the project will have to do since i’m far to tired to write allready.

My new iconoclasm – a clasm of icons

architecteur — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 01:27:11 +0000

I’ve been somewhat fed up with the image i’ve used for presentation purposes for the passed year… so i made a new one inspired by eighties kitsch bookcovers, the band la roux, and my own vulgar tastes.

I am pink – because i am kind – because i fear.
