This project is about the importance of bringing something back to the community and to create a dialog with the residents of Sandviken. Sandvikstorget, being the heart of Sandviken, has been our focus area. We have investigated the past and future, but for us the near present is the most important. How to activate the empty square while the area is in the process of developing? A major factor in the project has been the combination of old, new and recycled materials. It is not necessary to always buy new to be able to make something remarkable so how can we work in the space between old and new?
