THE END / is near

THIS FALL most of the manifestation of the architechtual design work and construction will be finished in the centre core, except for the fashion zone and the block with the new high rise buildings behind the Angermannagatan (Bayman St/New Wall St). Much of the D in the ABCD concept has been focusing on Design of physicaly large constructions, shopping artefacts, like stores, markets, warehouses (hypermarkets /superstores), a process of artefactification if you want.

Several leading architects and companies has delivered high quality design. White, A1, Wingaard, Centrumutveckling to just mention some of the actors of this game of redefining a suburban centre to a new modern more tight or dense city core for the people of the future living in this northen province.

Several destinations or zones have been focused or pinpointed. The fashion district and house, the plaza under with the floating ceeling, the movie theatre city, the food court, the food market and hypermarkets over the overdecked railway area. The main street through the city core, Angermannagatan will be opened in August and around it small shops in a new destination concept called ”Vällingby Collection” will be opened. To Vixton people will come to be amused with new high quality shopping experineces usaly found in large metropolitan cities. Vixton developes to something like a sensual intime district in a proto minimegacity.

A question mark raised is how the citizens living in West Stockholm Vixton have reacted and worked on the transformation and development. Go here to find the answer given by the users of flickr.com. Here is one example from pro user JSNL. I give kudos to him. Go and watch his pictures now.

DAYSAMPLER / le parkour

WHAT CAN YOU DO with a lot of construction trash and junk in your living district. Daysampler Vällinby makes a video with parkouring, the art or sport of fluid moving (free running) in a urban environment, around the Vixton districts.
Le Parkour started out in Paris 1988. David Belle was one of the greatest artist in this field. Here is a video called Super Mario Parkour with him. And here is a video called Rush Hour with David.

PROUD PEARL / tower in E!dstr

ENTERTAINMENT LIFE IN VIXTON could find it’s home in the western part/district a Entertainment district [E!dstr] with it’s manifistation in a Entertainment Design Tower, Vixton Vallingby’s pride with a copy in 1:6 scale of the tower oriental Pearl in Shanghai. Companies, amuesment fascilities, a planetarium in the top, as well as a restuarant.

The western square beneath could be projected and esteticaly cleaned up, and then named after the local passed away famous rock musician/componist Tomas ”Quorthon” Forsberg, the inventor of several musical genres/ideoms.

A walk of fame could be created on the walk from the old high school and sport complex to the subway station and Movie City. Why dont mould cheramic stars in the concrete with famous peoples signatures on.

A1 Archictects could make a crowning with iron constructions, cloth with typo-print and lighting on the Duo Design towers in the background of Regretman Street [New Wall Street/Angermannagatan] in the same fashion as was the case at the roof of the tempoary shopping fascilities that was constructed inbetween the permanent buildings of Vallingby.
