The design of the process and space - Jubileee Park 2021

Göteborg växer vidare i Frihamnen och staden etablerar Jubileumsparken som blir stadens nya mötesplats där staden möter vattnet. Efter inledande projekt i parken tar Göteborgs Stad ytterligare ett steg. Nyligen gick staden ut med en internationell inbjudan till att lämna in anbud för att utveckla, gestalta Jubileumsparken.

Spridd tillsammans med Lovely landscape och Studio Elin Strand är ett av tre team som efter genomförd prekvalificering är inbjudna av Göteborgs Stad till uppdrag om gestaltning av process och rum i Jubileumsparken.

Utvärderingsgruppens motivering:
Spridd med bland andra Lovely landscape och Studio Elin Strand är ett team med stor erfarenhet av att arbeta nära befintliga och kommande miljöer, samt att koppla samman parkens innehåll och genomförandeprocesser. Med erfarenhet att arbeta med feministisk stadsplanering och sociala program har de möjlighet att öppna fortsatta processer. I anbudet prioriteras skapandet av en plats för hela staden I relation till det omkringliggande landskapet och bebyggelsen med särskild focus på parkens organisation och institution.

Spridd formger utställningen Bo. Nu. Då på ArkDes som öppnar 16 april

Bostadskriser är inget nytt. Större delen av 1900-talet har präglats av återkommande perioder av brist på bostäder. Utställningen skildrar problem och lösningar på bostadskriser från 1917 till idag och vidare in i framtiden. 

“Vi har använt oss av ett färdigt pelar-balk system för husbyggnad i trä som etablerar en tydlig ram för en väggstruktur av lätta tygväggar som synliggör kraften i byggandets elementära delar; skelettet och beklädnaden. Bostaden är det rum som ligger oss alla närmast och arkitekturen ska beröra både kropp och tanke”, Ola Broms Wessel och Klas Ruin ansvariga arkitekter på Spridd.

Utställning som är kurerad av Dan Hallemar redovisar i lager på lager ritningar, statistik, projektioner, modeller, fullskaleritningar, möbler och berättelser.

Welcome Astrid!

Vi välkomnar Astrid Linnér till kontoret! Astrid har i över 15 år jobbat i egen regi med scenografi för teater, film och konst som huvudsaklig inriktning och har lång erfarenhet av inredning, ljussättning och konstnärlig gestaltning på institutioner som tex Botkyrka konsthall och Södra Teatern. I perioder har även undervisning varit en viktig del av hennes verksamhet.

Astrid är en av de ansvariga utställningsarkitekterna bakom MegaMind, Tekniska museet i Stockholms stora satsning som öppnade hösten 2015 och är också arkitekt MSA med examen från KTH i Stockholm.
Med Astrid på kontoret har vi lyckats med vår målsättning att knyta fler idéstarka och erfarna personer till kontoret som kan axla ansvar i projekt som ofta ligger i marginalen mellan arkitektur och angränsande kulturfält. Astrids sociala kvalitéer och stora erfarenhet inom scenografi och konstnärlig gestaltning kommer stärka kontorets kompetens inom flera fält. 

Välkommen Astrid!

Exhibition architects for the housing exhibition Bo.Nu.Då

Spridd are the exhibition architects for the housing exhibition Bo. Nu. Då at the Arkdes which opens on the 16th of April.

The housing crises is not the news. The greater part of the 1900s was characterized by recurring periods of housing shortages. The exhibition depicts the problems and the solutions to the housing crisis from 1917 to today and into the future.

The work is well under way at the Arkdes with building a column - part of the wooden frame which forms a framework for the exhibition that in revised layering adds drawings, statistics, projections, models, full-scale drawings, furniture and stories.

30 sustainable nordic buildings

Spridd in 30 Sustainable Nordic Buildings with the project Fittja People´s Palace – holistic and transparent retrofitting.

Environmental issues are high on the public agenda of the five Nordic countries – Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. The Nordic people expect the environment where they live and work to be sustainable and at the same time to reflect the values that prevail in the Nordic societies. The Nordic Built programme was initiated by the Nordic Ministers for Trade and Industry and launched by Nordic Innovation and the Nordic Council of Ministers in 2012. The aim was to accelerate the development of sustainable building concepts in the Nordic region and to contribute to the realisation of the Nordic region as a leading innovative region in green growth and welfare. The platform of the programme is the Charter, created by 75 leaders representing some of the most forward-thinking businesses in the Nordic building industry. The Charter consists of 10 principles that define the strongholds of the industry. They represent a holistic approach to building that includes all three dimensions of sustainability – social, environmental and economic. The Charter involves more than just the actual physical building, it reaches out to the people living, playing, learning and working in it. The Charter is the backbone of this book, which tells the story of 30 sustainable Nordic buildings.

Fittja People´s Palace was the winning entry of the Swedish part of the competition Nordic Built Challenge in 2013. The scheme puts forward a scalable model and process for a sustainable renovation of a social housing area from early 1970´s, and is now under implementation.

Mosque a new silhouette on the E18

 

Spridd has developed a proposal for the Multicultural Centre with a mosque in Rinkeby outside Stockholm, on behalf of the Islamic Cultural Centre, a local congregation with predominately Somali background. The building has a dramatic location beside the highway E18 where the building will be seen by thousands of commuters every day. Spridd has worked with the client since 2010 leading the process through all stages. In October 2015 the politicians approved the proposal and work has started with realising the building.

Järva is an area with housing for more than 60 000 people, many of foreign background. With the proximity to the parkland at Järvafältet and good connections with the rest of city and the region the area is expanding with new housing and businesses.
In addition to the renovation of The Million Programme residential buildings from the 1960s and 1970s there is a need for improvement of infrastructure and commercial facilities and an upgrade of public spaces that suites current residents  that take advantage of what a multicultural society entails.

The development of commercial and cultural life in the Million Programme areas reflects the resident’s needs. There is a great demand for alternative spaces and a lot of creative initiatives in order to fulfil the needs. Ground floor and basement spaces are used increasingly in other ways than what was originally intended. The next phase of this urban development is the addition of new spaces such as the Multicultural Centre in Rinkeby. The entry level of the centre is designed as a platform resting on the edge of the housing area towards Järvafältet. It forms an open square with connection to the ground floor with  public functions. The high rectangular mosque room is located on the upper floor. Mobile screens allow for flexibility depending on time and activity. The building is designed too be, open for the public, providing space for a restaurant, shops, youth activities, fitness center, education spaces and libraries..
The project will be built on Rinkebysvängen, adjacent to the emblematic facades with access balconies that shape the Rinkeby silhouette with a striking view over Järvafältet only 25 meters from the E18. To obtain a prayer direction toward Mecca, the building has it’s own direction compared to the surrounding city.

After 5 years of work, the plan for the plot has been accepted and the work with the detailed design of the building can start. It will be a positive contribution to Rinkeby and  Stockholm.

New vision for the Arkdes by Spridd

NEW VISION FOR THE ARKDES BY SPRIDD

Spridd has developed a proposal for the design of the new permanent exhibition of the Architecture and Design Center in Stockholm.

The proposal is a permanent exhibition that envisions a new museum on two floors inside the ArkDes current premises. The well-known open space in the old drill hall, a space where Pontus Hulten legendary, iconic exhibitions in the 60s took place, is converted into an assemblage of multiple small and large rooms where the visitor can get an insight into various aspects of a broad collection of topics: ArkDes gets a permanent exhibition that establish a center that unites the Museum's various parts.

- "Architecture, design and sustainability are broad, engaging and socially relevant subjects that require space to do them justice. In Spridds bold design, we use our facilities to maximize the exhibition space and create new and many experiences of architecture, design and sustainability in the past, present and in the future, "Veronica Hejdelind, Public Manager of the Architecture and Design Center.

The design of the permanent exhibition in two stories takes advantage of the Drill hall's opportunities in height and light transmission in a way it has not been done before. The row of upper windows facing east provides new views out on the surrounding landscape. The existing skylights are emphasized and the proposal allows individual lighting disposition that can create a unique atmosphere and adapt to handling the light-sensitive media.

- "A solution on two levels provides the opportunity to curate exhibitions with greater flexibility and variety with an architecture that will touch both body and mind", Ola Broms Wessel and Klas Ruin responsible at Spridd

Spridd has extensive experience in exhibition design projects such as exhibitions for Bonniers Konsthall, the Police Museum, the Museum of Work and C center in Norrköping.
