Land of opportunity.

Rosengård is a place for departure:few people want to arrive in it.

This situation makes Rosengård aplace disconnected from lifein Malmö and Sweden.

By proposing an Urban Life Corridor,a set of activities and spacesis arranged in the “border zone”.The corridor aims to connectdifferent geographic areas inand around the community,giving people a new way to approachthe urban landscape, allowingdifferent human groups toexpress themselves and conform acultural blending withultimately unexpected results.

Landing in Rosengård.

Rosengårds fältet and theadjacent Inre Ringvägenare defining elements inthe landscape of Rosengård.They divide a mostly-Europeansouthern Rosengård from amostly middle Eastern center;the road divides (an evacuates)Rosengård from Malmö.

However, every border has the potentialof becoming a bridge.

The spaces in between.

The left illustration is defined by theinterstitial spaces: the mostly un-usedzones in this part in Rosengård.By introducing new activitiesin a non-linear arrange (shown by co-lour)these interstitial areas acquirea new meaning as new focal points.

Painting with light.

People’s movement across spaceshows new points of tension (knots)in areas that were formerly transitionsbetween more intense places (such asHerrgården and the mosque).

It is here that urban life is generated.

How to go from an area of exclusion... ... to an area of inclusion?
