The Lövholmen Battle!


Hey ho!
The time has come to introduce "The Architectural Event of the Year"(sounds a bit pretentious I know...)
The 1st and 2nd of May 2009 will be held at Färgfabriken the Lövholmen Battle. For those two special days a bar will be provided by Landet sandwiches, drinks and sun will be on the menu!
Concerning the Battle we are expecting 16 teams that will pass qualifications Friday the 1st and the happy winners will be invited to take part of the finals that will be running on Saturday.
To participate one should gather a team of 2 to 3 people and bring their laptop to produce material for a digital presentation. (basic computer knowledge is far enough)
The rules for the Battle are quite simple.
4 Teams gets a topic and haves to produce simultaneously a proposition under a period of 1 hour. At the end of this hour each teams gets 3 minutes to present their work and the public elects their favourite proposition. The 2 best teams of each heat are then qualified for the next round.
At the end of the tournament the winner is awarded and a party celebrates the heroes of those two days.

Well well!

Howdy!
Once again it feels that it was ages since I last wrote something on this blog...
Anyhow, I was supposed to give you the results from the Round 2, but then time passed by and well...
In a short summary I can reveal that the winners are (were?) Anna and Helen that proposed a branding for Lövholmen using dirty tricks.
Ho? You maybe wonder what the battle was about well...
The topic was to enable people to enter the "core of Lövholmen" using a restricted budjet and a simple technology.
Two other teams participated and proposed also amazing solutions.
Linn and Anna proposed a way to lead people inside the site by creating coloured path with various themes.
And last but not least the heavy team composed of Marika, Einar, Andreas and 3 happy friends (sorry guys I'll put your names when I'll meet you again).
Anyhow the the heavy team proposed a bridge made of troubled waters linking Lövholmen to Hornstull by using all the waste disposable in Mälaren.
Thank you all for participating and bringing some joy in architecture!

Well well!


The winners branded their project and the site. Hurray for them!

Lövholmen capital of Scandinavia!

Well well!


Coloured path is the way! Follow your favourite colour and discover the wonders of Lövholmen!

Well well!




The infamous bridge linking Hornstull to Lövholmen.


A gigantic nest catching all the waste from Mälaren and turning them to a path.
