master of architecture graduation project,
designed in 2010
Tutors:
Gisle Løkken - APP, Architecture Project and Planning
Vibeke Jensen - DAV, The Other World
Camilla Rhyl - KTF, universal design consultant
Erling Olsen - TTA, technical / engineering
Location: Rosengård, Malmö, Sweden

5. The concept of my Diploma Project is to
reactivate Rosengård, an immigrant
ghetto in Southern Sweden, through
the put to work of the skills of its in-habitants:
from the guy who mends clo-thes
and shoes, to the old ladies who
can cook excellent stews on weekend
nights, the value of human talent is
the prime matter of development.
The plan is to make funds available in
a shared scheme: the European Union
+ Swedish Government as funders and
the people of Rosengård as operators.
Very often we deal with unfavoured
peoples in a gift-manner: we give them
things for free (bonuses, construction
materials, etc.) and expect these aid to
aliviate the problem, but at the same
time, we alienate the people we are
supposed to help, by not making them
a helpful part of the solution.
The idea is to help the neighbors help
themselves.
LANDSCAPE OF PRODUCTION
How to create opportunity in an unfavoured community?

The Happy Bomb.
Explorations of site and
programme to introduce in space.
The rectangle is the basic const-ruction
unit in Rosengård: nearly
all buildings have this form. I tried
to liberate what was inside the
rectangle, the spaces in between
in order to create a sense of dis-covery
and also privacy in a place
designed without human beings
in mind.
the knot of commerce and spirituality.
A place for growth, both internal and external.
Site analysis.
a place full of youth and energy.
Creating new bonds between up and down (the street
level + the top floors of the residential buildings).

Location: Bielefeld-Sennestadt, Germany
Area: housing and commerce 8.000m² / kindergarden 600m²
Function: 55 apartments for the disabled +
commercial area + Dentist’s praxis + Kindergarden
Section I - Housing and commerce
Section II - Kindergarden
Sennestadt Wohnen Plus is a mixed used complex, designed by alberts.architekten
BDA. My task was to produce the necessary construction documents, coordinating
topographic, structural and mechanic information as well as legal requirements and rel-evant
standards (for example: needed for the kindergarden or the dentist’s offi ce), and
considering the changes that happen along the constructive process. The supervising
engineer expressed satisfaction at the quality of my work, which was my fi rst profes-sional
experience carried out completely in the German language.
Here is Section I of the project: the residential, commercial and medical areas. In the
background we find the kindergarden. Photography taken in the Spring of 2014.

This is an extract of the different fl oor
plans drawn for the project. The prac-tise
was especially challenging: it in-volves
activities and technical require-ments
unique to this project.

14. This is part II of the project: the playground and kindergarden
(in the background we can see the residential section).

16. CLIMBING HALL
IN BIELEFELD
Transformation of an industrial building into a climbing hall
Location: Bielefeld-Senne, Germany
Area: 1,500sq m
Function: 650 sq m of bouldering walls, cafeteria and dressing rooms

17. And there was bouldering...
This project is about renovating a
1960’s industrial building to convert
it into a bouldering centre, which
allows to climb without safety mea-sures
up to 5m high.
The main element of our interven-tion
was the Black Box, a rectangu-lar
snack bar / visitor centre made
of black pine wood. Around the box
there is a wooden deck which serves
as an “outdoor” coffee shop, and of-fers
a place for social contact and to
watch the competition walls.
I took part actively in different stages
of the project: design, construction
drawing, project supervision and
communication with the client, engi-neers
and contractors.

18. The entrance.
My sketch shows our fi rst ideas for the entrance
of the building: with minimal elements (lwooden
planks and lighting) we tried to make a notori-ous
corner for the old industrial building. To the
right you can see the slide doors of shelves
used for storage. The 120cm wide space allows
for easy evacuation in case of fi re.
The Bench
This sketch shows the fi rst idea for a sitting
element, which should also be integral part of
the Black Box. The bench can be used from the
inside (as an extension of the Black Box) and
outside: you can sit there, change your shoes or
get some rest with friends!

19. Inside the Black Box. Contrary to its ouside, the inside of the box offers a
peaceful environment with view to the Alps.

20. The competition wall.
The wooden seat allows to witness the climbing comfortably while you sip a coffee or just take a break.
