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.
