"Inside - Out"

Biography

Testbedstudio is an architectural office that work with the urban field. Recently the office took part in the Barents Art Triennale with a large scale mapping of the Kiruna - Narvik region. In 2009 the office produced a sitting installation for 600 people in Beijing, in the form of the Swedish island of Gotland, acting as a frame for speculation on global population density. Testbedstudio has produced a series of projects on the number 100, resulting in a book of 100 ideas for urban improvement, a villa with 100 rooms and a series of urban installations for SEK 100 (appr. 10€).

Workshop description

On the hill where The Knot is located, we will mark out a field with the dimensions 105 by 68 meters (the same as Camp Nou in Barcelona), with lines of wet chalk (the same as is used for marking lines on a football field). Within this space, the outline of a city will emerge, as a condensation of various planar features of the Ursynów district. This will be the field in which the workshop participants, with the help of the people of Ursynów, may assemble, test and enact some of the things that exist in the area, as well as some other things that may happen in the future. This may be a living room, the bicycle shed, the corner shop, constructed with physical material and placed somewhere within the marked out field. In the same time it will be a way of finding out new ways in which the park itself may be used.
