Check out this urban development for Lund, by a few students at Lund University. The project proposes the reinvigoration of the urban area by reusing older buildings, removing unused ones, as well as adding some new buildings, aimed at encouraging activity and removing barriers. Take a look at the rest of the project.

The students of the Lund Technical College of Sweden were given the challenge to design and create a geometrical installation to inhabit an empty space. Robert Janson, and his fellow classmates, chose to use plastic carrier bags to create their delicate structure. The final design was simple and delicate, as the bags explode into the space and dance against the light. They approached architecture not to create space, but to inhabit space.
