Celebrating Architecture [EDIT 2]
I am helping Professor Abelardo Gonzalez and Professor Sir Peter Cook to gather a group of top architechts to do a symposium at the School of Architecture in Lund on September 9. We are at the moment searching for interesting guests around the world to invite. For the moment I'm in contact with Neil Denari and Toyo Ito. It is a public event so everybody is welcome and it is free to enter. Welcome!

Street ready
Finally I'm done building my Benotto and I'm happy to show my craftmanship for the first time on the blog.
I've hand-picked and assembled every single part and I'm very happy with the result.

Architectural Mutations 2011
My old studio from Lund got their bachelors project finished a week or two ago. Some of their work was really cool!

Favorite inspirational drawings right now
As my blogs name indicates, these are some drawings that I really love. Technical, informative, dynamic, suggestive

Kinetic model
I've spent the last days building a big kinetic model.
The big panel is one of seven reactors, and it is constantly facing the sun.

More info about the Photobioreactor
Two weeks left before final presentation of my project. I feel confident in this concept, and I think the project has a lot of potential.

Exhibition at Form/Design Center in Malmö @ the Vernissage
Thank you everyone for a wonderful evening.
Free beer and pretzels always gets the mood right.
We actually had some great guests to the vernissage: sir Peter Cook, Erick Carcamo and Abelardo Gonzalez showed up along with a couple of hundred other beloved.

Exhibition at Form/Design Center in Malmö
Tomorrow, the 26th of May, my old gang is having an exhibition of our bachelors projects, from 2010, in Form/Design Center in Malmö. The vernissage is at 18 p.m.
Me and Marcus Westberg have done the hanging and mounting.

Conceptual Plan of Photobioreactor
As you might remember I'm working on an air-purification system set in a central park, called Altonaparken in Malmö.
The air-purification system I'm using is called a Photobioreactor system. Explained in a easy way, it is a system of water bound algae that eats carbon dioxide and multiplies in mass. Since the algae consists of 40% oil it's harvested from the water and made into bio-diesel and protein. A bonus is that It also creates pure oxygen. In other words: It cleans the air with a lot of valuable "biproducts".
I have been looking for different type of characteristics in the context and found three main types: The meeting between park and water, the enclosed area in-between trees and the open square.
I have tried to do a rational distribution of the system over the three territories, tying them all to the main core, at the square. The tubes connecting all the parts are creating a complex infrastructure, cutting the park into multiple segments.
This drawing is a mix of a diagram, an infrastructural organization and a conceptual site-plan, showing a first outtake for distribution of the program.
Conceptually the form and architectural parts are all products of the function. Since the program has a high level of technicality, I have an ambition to do the drawings in a quite mechanical manner.
