any given population. But what if there were spatial products that could substitute for the societal func-tion that architecture plays culturally in addition to satisfying the basic needs of shelter?

What if these disenfranchised populations could have nearly instantaneous, free or cheap space for a variety of activities before committing to a permanent building? This architectural platform, a kind of spatial operating system, could buttress already-existing and yet-to-emerge local knowledge exchange platforms and social networks, in the process generating economic value and stronger community.

Performance of CooperationThis is the proposal of Föreställningar I Samar-

bete. Roughly translating to Performances, or Imag-

Architecture is one of many factors that con-tribute to a society’s culture, one might say its sense of belonging to a place and time: a statement of values.

Yet architecture is notoriously slow and cost-ly. Usually a favored instrument of those that have

access to capital and the stability to stay in one place for long periods of time – years, generations, centuries – architecture is “’political plastic’–social forces slowing into form.” As a result, those without

accumulated capital and the ability to remain in a location – like refugees and migrants – are denied the cultural belonging that architecture provide to

inings, of Collaboration and Cooperation, we pro-pose a combination of a digital platform that serves as an operating system for a network of inflatable spaces which can provide Tensta residents with high-ly visible areas to host the underground, bottom-up networks of social cooperation that already exist in Tensta, the Kvinnocenter i Tensta-Hjulsta being one such network.

Our plan proposes employing pneumatically supported structures (air-pressure-inflated mem-branes) which are incredibly cheap to fabricate, can be moved from site to site, and can be blown up and taken down in a matter of minutes. Moving beyond their stigmatic associations with 60s and 70s radi-cal architecture movements, this proposal imagines a use for modest inflatable spaces that can pro-vide temporary, nomadic and flexible locations for

non-residential activity as one possible means of “put-ting down roots” in a place and establishing a self-sus-taining economic communi-ty, or Econo-Community.

Our proposal is fur-ther developed into three (3) phases. First, we will make a large (8-meters in diameter) sphere inflatable, affection-ately dubbed the “Mother Bubble.” We will conduct workshops to teach resi-dents how to make their own inflatables, and pro-duce social events inside the inflatables to generate revenue for even more workshops. This cycle will continue under our direction until phase two, when

residents can borrow the inflatables on the online platform for a variety of suggested non-residential programs. Con-stantly iterating and tweaking the operating system, phase three will see the system handed off to the residents via a cooperative legal framework similar to the Swedish bostads-rättsföreningar housing cooperative structure. Phase three will also coincide with the OAT exhibition in Oslo.

Econo-CommunityThrough the bounded investing model of Circular flow

of income, the system can create (read: sustainable) eco-nomic ecosystems in which the value created by a communi-ty is then reinvested in the community, in ways ranging from SL Card subsidies to longer-durational forms (buildings, architecture). This economic community, or econo-com-munity directly addresses the 43% unemployment rate,

attempting to spur economic development by flooding the supply of available semi-public space in which to gather, socialize, and conduct business. The inflatables, in different situations fill dif-ferent activities’ needs for space, but instead of these activities being in basements, the inflatable makes them visible, engaging the environment in the process.

Over the course of the year, a donation-based or voluntary 1-2% tax revenue stream goes to establish a cooperative fund, which aims to support the local community by becoming a sav-ings portfolio to eventually become a down payment on a con-struction loan to house the various emergent programs that took place inside the inflatables. Who knows, maybe some people will prefer the inflatables, once it becomes the local vernacular architecture?

Phase 1 Phase 2

1.0 1.5

PHASE 1: “MOTHER BUBBLE”1.0 – Using a small portion of the budget, fabricate a

“Mother Bubble,” an inflatable that will be 3/5 of a geodesic dome with a diameter of 15 meters

1.1 – Within the Mother Bubble, hold workshops to teach and fabricate smaller inflatables, and announce a free public lending program

1.2 – Develop a web platform to register, promote, educate, and reserve the children bubbles (starting in April 2016)

1.3 – launch the web platform, and invite Tensta residents to register in order to borrow future inflatables

1.4 – Program kick-off events in the Mother Bubble in collaboration with KTH in Tensta, the KTH, KKH and/or Tensta Konsthal

1.5 – From the event proceeds, hold workshops to teach and make more, smaller children inflatables

INFLATABLE GENEAOLOGY

One “Mother Bubble” is made as an example, in which workshops are held and for which events are programmed. In Phase 1, our team will plan and carry out the initial events, inviting residents of Tensta to learn more about the project. Local residents will have the opportunity to learn and start proposing alternative uses that can be housed in inflatable architectures and suggest what kind of activities need space.

ONLINE PLATFORM

“...that is another rule for the whole nature of architecture: it must create new appetites, new hungers – not solve problems, architecture is too slow to solve problems.”

–Cedric Price

The online platform is the heart of the project: it simultaneously collects and broadcasts the collective desires of the Tensta residents.

PHASE 2: OPERATING SYSTEM

SUGGESTED PROGRAMS

2.0 – Focus on the rules of the operating system/online platform: how people borrow them, when people borrow them and for what programs.

2.1 – Collect feedback from resident-borrowers about to what extent their needs were satisfied by the inflatables

2.2 – Adjust the rules, protocols, feedback loops, and analytics of the system, both physical and digital

2.3 – Continue to lead educational workshops, this time with the intent of training other residents to lead inflatable-making workshops themselves

2.4 – Encourage residents to come up with their own programming and alternative (mis)uses

2.5 – Establish the cooperative fund and begin estab-lishing the bostadsrättsförening financial and legal framework, including its governance structure and volunteers

The platform is good for certain types of activity: non-residential, temporary commercial activity, social functions, lightweight production and health-related activities. These may include: communal meeting space for local social activist organizations (for example, Kvinnocenter i Tensta-Hjulsta), weddings/celebrations, photography studio, after-school activities, educational workshops, children’s day care, temporary sculpture gallery addition, street fair, market stall, etc. The suggested uses are by no means exhaustive and other bottom-up programming/usage is encouraged.

COOPERATIVE FUND FOR FUTURE BUILDINGCENTRAL HUB

Through the bounded investing model of Circular Flow of Income, the system can create economic ecosystems in which the value created by a community is then reinvested in the community.

Eventually, the fund will grow large enough to empower the community to have the agency to build their own more permanent structures to house the programs that had provisionally existed inside the temporary inflatables. In this way, the inflatable spaces act like a “starter-kit” for more permanent architecture, and the more permanent architecture is a “starter-kit” for a sustained community of social connections and mutual trust. In this way architecture has the potential to not just reinforce existing structures of power and control, but can emerge over time from the accumulation of collective desire

A place to pick up and return the inflatables to, centrally located, potentially mobile, which might eventually be a more conventional piece of architecture in central Tensta.

Phase 11.0 – MOMENT LEADERS: Jesse Seegers, Malin Heyman, James

HamiltonUsing a small portion of the budget we will

fabricate a “Mother Bubble,” an inflatable that will be 3/5 of a geodesic dome with a diameter of 8 meters using 2-4mil thick polyethylene plastic sheeting and heavy duty tape / iron to seal and heat weld the pieces together. This will be constructed in a local space, most likely Tensta Gymnasiums sport hall over the span of a few days, from the sourcing of material to construction. The construction will be carried out by the team; Jesse, Malin, James and workshop participants from the KTH in Tensta, the KTH and Tensta Konsthal.

1.1 – MOMENT LEADERS: Jesse Seegers, Malin Heyman, James

HamiltonWithin the Mother Bubble will hold workshops

to teach and fabricate smaller inflatables, and announce a free public lending program. Workshops will be organized to make new inflatables within “Mother Bubble”. These workshops will take place over the span of two weeks in mid-March. The workshops will be led by the team at first. Then they will be led by new team members and volunteers who will be established as the competence of workshop participants rises. The dissemination of information will be done through workshops, online “How to” videos and pamphlets. Conversations, meetings and workshops at the site will be carried out by Jesse, Malin and James.

1.2 – MOMENT LEADERS: Jesse Seegers, Malin Heyman, James Hamilton + back end web developer

Develop a web platform to register, promote, educate, and reserve the children bubbles (starting in April 2016). The web platform will be developed and managed in Stockholm. This will happen simultaneously to the production of the mother bubble and the first workshops. The web platform will also work to record and organize the data pertaining to lending, borrowing and registration.

This data will be used at the start of every phase to analyze the use, progress and efficiency of the programming of the previous phase. Conversations and meetings at the site will be carried out by Malin and James, and for planning / critiquing sessions will be done with Jesse via Skype.

1.3 – MOMENT LEADERS: Jesse Seegers, Malin Heyman, James Hamilton

Launch the web platform, and invite Tensta residents and workshop participants to register the inflatables they have made and to borrow future inflatables. This will be done through workshops, online “How to” videos and pamphlets. Conversations and meetings at the site will be carried out by Malin and James, and for planning / critiquing sessions will be done with Jesse via Skype.

1.4 – MOMENT LEADERS: Malin Heyman, James Hamilton

Program kick-off events in the Mother Bubble in collaboration with KTH in Tensta, the KTH, KKH and/or Tensta Konsthal. The planning of the kick –off event will be led by Malin. Her contact with Maria Lind of the Tensta Konsthall, and colleagues at the KTH will facilitate the cooperation of either or both parties in the organization, support and potential sponsorship of the kick off event.

1.5 – From the event proceeds, hold workshops to teach and make more, smaller children inflatables

Phase 22.0 – MOMENT LEADERS: Jesse Seegers,

Malin Heyman, James HamiltonFocus on the rules of the operating system/

online platform: how people borrow them, when people borrow them and for what programs. At the outset of phase two we will look rigorously and critically and the programming of phase one. This will be done by an analysis of the data collected by the online platform, documentary material of all workshops (film, video, archived objects) and the inflatables themselves. We will also collect feedback from resident-borrowers about to what extent their needs were satisfied by the phase one inflatables. This moment will be led by Jesse, Malin and James, together in Tensta.

2.2 – We will adjust the rules, protocols, feedback loops, and analytics of the system, both physical and digital in response to the feedback we receive in the first half of phase 2

2.3 – MOMENT LEADERS: Malin Heyman, James Hamilton

We will continue to lead educational workshops, this time with the intent of training other residents to lead inflatable-making workshops themselves. Our understanding of how this can be done will be refined by the smaller experiments in phase 1. We will encourage residents to come up with their own programming and alternative (mis)uses. Conversations and meetings at the site will be carried out by Malin and James, and for planning / critiquing sessions will be done with Jesse via Skype.

2.5 – We will establish a cooperative fund and begin programming the bostadsrättsförening financial and legal framework, including its governance structure and volunteers. This structure, modeled on Sweden’s tenant owner associations will eventually take over all operating responsibilities of the “Mother Bubble” as well as the associated digital and physical programming. Conversations and meetings at the site will be carried out by Malin and James, and for planning / critiquing sessions will be done with Jesse via Skype.

Phase 33.0 – MOMENT LEADERS: Jesse Seegers,

Malin Heyman, James HamiltonIncubate the bostadsrättsförening and

maintain the online platform, supplementing it with new functions if necessary. The bostadsrättsförening format will be recycled and remodeled to apply to the family of inflatables that will be roaming Tensta. This moment will be led by Jesse, Malin and James, together in Tensta. We will identify and designate a local community liaison, a cooperative fund manager, and a Mother Bubble resident administrator. Conversations and meetings at the site will be carried out by Malin and James, and for planning / critiquing sessions will be done with Jesse via Skype.

3.1 – MOMENT LEADERS: Jesse Seegers, Malin Heyman James Hamilton + Tensta program representatives.

For the exhibition we will bring one of the children inflatables to Oslo for the duration of the Oslo Architecture Triennale. We will intensively document through photography, video, interviews, and object evidence that remains from the events and workshops. The archival material that is collected and produced, both digital and physical will accompany us to Oslo, where the inflatable we bring will act as a repository for the information and material collected. After the Oslo Architecture Triennale, this inflatable can remain, visitors of the triennale will have the opportunity to register on the web platform and borrow Oslo’s “Second Mother Bubble”. This moment will be led by Jesse, Malin and James, together in Tensta and Oslo.

3.4 – MOMENT LEADERS: Tensta ResidentsAt the conclusion of the OAT, we will hand

off the administration and maintenance of the bostadsrättsförening and the online platform
