Transforming the borders of Malmö
I am aiming to look at the Oxye/Toarp site. This is an area with suburban areas, divided into various zones. The borders are clear and you move trhough a scene of housing with different properties. As the agricultural landscape is divided into distinct pieces, so are the suburban housing areas. In the illustrations I give a brief illustartion of the pattern of the agricultural landsacpe as well as a broad view of the segmental planning in modernism. Further I would like to look into how these different scenes can be better tied together - both visual and functional. The cyclepath stretching from Västra Hamnen to Oxye could operate as a linking tool in this process;

Commuting Labour
In the wake of the Öresundbridge opening in 2000 the cities of Copenhagen and Malmö have launched a plan of ”Integration of the Öresund region”.
The aim is to create a comprehension among the population that the region functions as one city (Handlingsplan 2004-2006).
In this context I find it interesting to look at commuting labour exchanged between Malmö and Copenhagen.
A study conducted in 2006 it concludes 1/5 of Danish employees consider taking labour in Malmö, as opposed to 1/3 of the Sweeds. Apart from being sweedish the characteristics of the typical commuter tends to be; more men than women, steady job, 25-44 years of age, medium or higher level of education, no children. Also they are engaged in IT, transport or commerce.
When it comes to migrating across Öresund the Danish focus on lower cost of housing as well as lower taxes, the Sweeds on the other hand go for more challenging and better paid jobs
(Pendling over Öresund – Undersøgelse af holdninger og adfærd i forhold til pendling over Øresund).
Looking at Malmö one can see that there has been some shift in commuting laboure since the opening of the Öresund bridge in 2000.

The table shows that the number of Malmö emplyees excommuting have increased from 19 778 in 2000 to 26 070 in 2007. However, the netto commuting labour force for Malmö city has increased by 2470 in the same period.
Let us look further into the educational level of the Malmö workforce:

The big question is how big part of the educated labourforce of Malmö can, will and do commute to Copenhagen. Do we have a "brain drain"?
In a longer perspective it can be interesting to find out if there is a potential for the creation of Malmö as a "sleeping city" of Copenhagen. Or; will there be a matter of education, income and social status as to where people in the Öresund region live and employ themselves?

Managing complexity?
Man acts upon the world and change it, and is in turn changed by the consequenses of his actions. Skinner, 1977
As a man kicks a ball he knows it will roll forward.
As a man kicks a dog one can not now what to expect. The dog might bite, crumble or run away.
Social interactions are hard to predict. Human lives are surrounded by context, history and tradition. How are we all influenced by these? Deleuze suggests that we as humans act out our lives in a conglomerate of interactions through continous negotiations with our context. In this lies an ongoing resistanse against rigid organisation and restriction. "Plateaus" are built as phenonema and context constantly influences each other. Together this builds systems of complexity. This world of complexity has its own dynamics and logic and is difficult to grasp through a sequensal logic. The components are in constant change and make patterns that are hard to plan for and predict.
Opposite to this institutions can be seen as manifested phenomena. But they are social phenomena and will in turn be influenced by the social context they arise from.

"Every schoolboy knows"
This is a phrase from the anthropologist Gregory Bateson who you may meet as a reference in our master studio.
This expression can be interpreted in such a way as every architect, every taxi driver, every kid now knows that global challenges has to be met with full innovative force on every local level, including the smallest biotope. Its an awareness in the air. This involves rethinking, research and new kinds of explorations in the urban field, thus conceived as both built up structures and the landscape. The city is under pressure and has to be redefined continuosly.
Yesterday we read and article by the researcher Maria Hellström, SLU/Alnarp/Malmø, titled The deverging common (Den avvikende allmenning) where she discusses Christiania in Copenhagen as representative of the urban non-ownership as a creative disturbance.
An eye and an ear to deviations, divergence and that you me see as important undercurants should inform our studio and enter the blog.
When the studio is going to explore change as opposed to limitless growth this joint blog for you students, us teachers and invited guests can bee conceived as a library, a library of change. This library of change is then formed by the participants and will act as a common Idea Universe, with a reference too the mosaic reading.
So the moral of this blog is to launch your findings here. The expression visualising change can be fine to have in mind. We look forward to meet you on the blog and in Bergen.
Forever yours
