(Stockholm, Sweden)<br />Date and time: Monday, November 01, 2010<br /><br />The point of departure for this trip was to take a look at the richest and most expensive residential areas in Stockholm. Without prior knowledge we will move trough Djursholm, and imagine the possibility this place holds if we redefine by manipulating it’s subtext. We will look to space, ownership, property structure, ways of living, architecture and the possible residents of such a place. We come as observers and invite everyone to take part in a redefinition of what this place could be.<br /></span></span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" ></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" ><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF-roYjoAnDqc7jsPd0e3SXrAfAwkkwgVF8qMIdDQsAwZgUPQ47aMM6lWIgaUKGtxVi42EMmZ_MXTFd28k3jvuQjPS7gNdzJGU6s1TUuFZp5rNVFx0FfK_cvpP2ASKhH259NO42PWkBA9m/s400/DSC05033.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF-roYjoAnDqc7jsPd0e3SXrAfAwkkwgVF8qMIdDQsAwZgUPQ47aMM6lWIgaUKGtxVi42EMmZ_MXTFd28k3jvuQjPS7gNdzJGU6s1TUuFZp5rNVFx0FfK_cvpP2ASKhH259NO42PWkBA9m/s400/DSC05033.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />What we, as walkers, immediately noticed upon arrival at Djursholms Ösby station, was the lack of or poor quality sidewalks.

She told us of cultural things in the area; a house by the architect Gunnar Asplund (Villa Snellman, 1917-18) seen above and one villa with a ceiling painted by Carl Larsson. Originally Djursholm was built as a garden city with winding roads. Its reputation also comes from around 1900-20, when artists, writers and cultural personalities lived here. It's an old story of how art can make an area exclusive.

The channel on the Amager side is so shallow that once can almost wade through it, but the kayaks could just slip through.

A new deep-water quay is being excavated to receive even bigger oil tankers. There is a relatively large artificial island in the harbour, originally established as a fort and later used as an oil port (history). On our last walk we heard about an allotment association just next to it with a communal kitchen garden, which we will probably make a detour to. We also hope to receive a visit from a couple of artists from Chicago, who have worked with urban development and urban farming.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: courier new;font-family:arial;" class="MsoNormal" ><span style="font-size:78%;"><br /><br /><br />Meeting-point: Lergravsparken Metro Station</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family: courier new;font-size:78%;" >Date and time: 21 May, 2006, 11 am.</span><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" face="arial" style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p><style>@font-face { font-family: "Times New Roman"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }table.MsoNormalTable { font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; }</style> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:11;"> </span></p><span style=";font-family:Helvetica;font-size:78%;" ><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span> </span> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5019/1637/320/provesten.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5019/1637/320/provesten.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></p><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5019/1637/320/industri.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5019/1637/320/industri.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">The landscape never ceases to surprise us, which also holds true of this walk.

The fencing in the area is very substantial – also around the allotment association with the communal kitchen garden that we mentioned in our last report. Seen from the outside it was now a fantastic place. People were digging and planting, and everything was fertile and fragrant. The sheds along the waterfront for a sailing club were also extremely active, and there was a general sense of activity and of the landscape being used, something one doesn’t see much of in the city on a Sunday morning.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" face="arial"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" face="arial"><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5019/1637/320/kugle.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5019/1637/320/kugle.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal" face="arial"><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" face="arial"><span style="font-size:100%;">In a wild and untamed area we encountered some caves dug into an undulating terrain.

Amager Beach was perhaps a little rough formerly, but the slightly too shallow/malodorous beach was enjoyed by many of the glad users of Helgoland.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">Helgoland (1925-1994) (the turquoise green building with open-air bathing for children and separate sections for men and women) was the essence of charm and Copenhagen’s answer to the most exotic south sea shore. After a pleasant day of sunbathing one could sit in the café with the coloured lamps and watch the planes landing and taking off. The smell of salt water mixed with windmills, the big gasometer could carry one away to a different place. But Helgoland had to give way to the artificial beach and was demolished in the late summer of 2004. It is said that a new bathing establishment will be built as compensation for Helgoland, but one can still not see any sign of it by the new Amager Beach.</span><br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5019/1637/320/DSC03151_mini.0.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5019/1637/320/DSC03151_mini.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">On our walk we also made other good finds: luxury flats (with a few defects like crumbling bricks and rotten windows), something that looked like bunkers by the new beach, but turned out to be changing-rooms and toilets. </span><br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5019/1637/320/DSC03133_mini.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5019/1637/320/DSC03133_mini.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5019/1637/320/DSC03157_mini.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5019/1637/320/DSC03157_mini.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">The maritime youth house, designed by the architectural firm PLOT, the yacht harbour and Pia’s sausages (we think that there might be a basis for a café latte outlet).<br /><br /></span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5019/1637/320/DSC03163_mini.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5019/1637/320/DSC03163_mini.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span> <a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5019/1637/320/DSC03182_mini.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5019/1637/320/DSC03182_mini.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Go there and see for yourself, and try the new beach, and if you get tired of it, go back towards Lergravspark Metro Station.
