| 説明 | Stockholm grew rapidly after the second world war. The city expanded to the south and west as the subway line stretched further and further outwards. Each subway stop becoming a new community centre neighborhood following the modernist city planning principles of the times. The spaces between the more densely built centers was used for infrastructure, motorways and recreational purposes. In many current discussions on the properties of the modernist city these spaces are typically described as non-places, empty, leftover, wasteland. (bit.ly/2kA0wYh, Cecilia von Schéele, The void : Urban wasteland as political space, 2016) Spaces defined as a negative, as an absence or as without use or program. Today these descriptions are often used as arguments for densification or to defend a new paradigm in city planning. This workshop is about engaging with these kind of spaces using the Örbyleden site as an example. Are they empty, useless and un-programmed? If any, what kind of activities do take place, what uses are already there? In 1995 the Spanish architect and philosopher Ignasi de Solà-Morales calls these spaces a terrain vague (bit.ly/2jYIRX4, Ignasi de Sola-Morales, Terrain Vague, 1995). The vague terrain belong spaces seemingly designed without any purpose at all, can be seen as a product of the modernist city. They create an uncertainty in respect of what is allowed, grey zones of insecurities. The vague terrain questions our role as participants in the city, it puts into question under what authority, along what protocols we are supposed to act. As such the terrain vague can be seen to take on virtual properties, spaces where potentially another city is already there, spaces waiting to be actualized. |
