Big Mama

A temporary concerthall for intimate concerts. The structure can be rotated and unfolded.
The structure is like german interlinked sausages on rows. The white interior takes one away from the busy festival area and enhances the experience and the intimacy with the musicians.
The musicians doesnt always perform, and on those occasions the structure can easily be rotated into a tunnel of musical experience with other aficionados thanks to the small speakers that is attached inside.
And at nighttime and perhaps some weeks after the festival is over, the whole structure can be unfolded and put into the river that lies just beside the festival area.

Suburb Habibi

City planning for a suburb with a strong identity.


Gamlestadstorget, a suburb to Gothenburg, is changing its infrastructure and connections with the surrounding suburbs and the city.


The strong identity (people, attitude, diversity and density) is preserved and intensified with a new villagelike building.


The building is laid out in a dense way according to the diagram above.

A sprawling compact building programed with diversity and 24H life.
Dense in its first floors and then defragmented on the higher levels.
Like a small village in the suburb, the best of gamlestadstorget collected to a superstructure that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Situated next to a new planned open square, that will also function as a big travel hub for this area, the structure will contrast to it with its windling narrow streets and small shops.

The square is mainly in white shiny medinastone with rubber parts that transforms down to the river and becomes pools, bbq and stages for performances and parties.
one part next to the new railwaystation is lit with extra strong lights so you can play basketball all night long.
