586.SWE Från skiss till verklighet: om trygghet, plats och framtidens landskap - Elli Standström
2025-12-13 | 45 min.
Hur kan man egentligen gestalta trygghet i våra städer – och vad innebär det i praktiken för en landskapsarkitekt? I det här avsnittet möter vi Elli Standström, landskapsarkitekt på AFRY, som delar med sig av sina tankar om att skapa platser som känns säkra, öppna och välkomnande – även när kraven krockar mellan buller, insyn och tillgänglighet.Vi pratar om hur barns perspektiv kan påverka utformningen av parker och stadsrum, hur klimatfrågor och social hållbarhet vävs in i varje ritning, och vilka tre kompetenser framtidens landskapsarkitekt behöver för att navigera i en allt mer komplex värld.Elli reflekterar också över yrkets framtid, AI:s roll i gestaltningen och sina egna erfarenheter – från studietiden på SLU och i Wageningen till Rookie-programmet på AFRY.I den personliga delen får vi lära känna Elli på djupet: hennes passioner, syn på framgång och vilket yrke hon skulle välja om hon inte jobbade med arkitektur.___Keep Up the Good Work.

583. Streetlamp Grove Tensta Nobel Week Lights- Alexander Wolfe
2025-12-07 | 19 min.
Wolfe Design Studio is led by architect and artist Alexander Wolfe. His work blends art, architecture, and design through collaboration with a network of creators, builders, and technicians.Like Rabindranath Tagore’s poetry, the artwork explores themes of memory and harmony. Discarded streetlamps from the Transport Department are transformed by the artist Wolfe Design Studio into a glowing responsive landscape.The streetlamps illuminate the path, linger and slowly fade after each passerby, creating a gently pulsating environment that responds to human presence. An interactive soundscape including interpretations of Tagore’s poems read aloud by youths from the local hub Tensta Tech, can also be heard from within the installation.The artwork is designed for all ages and invites the audience to engage with the urban landscape in a playful way. Streetlamp Grove Tensta is about connection, presence, and shared wonder.More about Studio Wolfehttps://wolfe.se/In collaboration with Nobel Week Lights.Read more https://www.nobelprizemuseum.se/en/nobel-week-lights/___Keep Up the Good Work.
