Abstract: The assignment for this project was to design a culture school for kids. The site for this project is located in Älvsjö at the bottom corner of Stockholms Mässan. It is here where I was inspired to create a school that danced its way around the exisiting trees, allowing for the characterstics of the tree to reflect its way into the different stories of the building. "No trees were harmed in the making of this structure". It is a dance between the organization of a 2.7x6x5 meter modular system that learns to live in harmony with all of the existing nature. It is a study in how urbanization can land naturally whilst taking nature into consideration. If we keep chopping down trees eventuelly there won´t be any left, lets learn to adapt our architecture to nature instead of let architecture forcing its way into it.
