Vid Malmvägen i Sollentuna ligger ett område som byggdes under miljonprogrammet. Området har fungerat som Sollentuna/ Turebergs centrum, med många lokaler för kommersiell verksamhet och samhällets sevicefuktioner. Sedan ett nytt centrum byggts på andra sidan järnvägen har Malmvägen förlorat i betydelse. Få utomstående hittar hit, och flertalet av lokalerna står tomma. Området ger ett slitet intryck, och flera förändringsprojekt diskuteras. Invånarna känner en otrygghet inför sitt områdes tillstånd och framtid. En kurs för internationella studenter på Arkitekturskolan, KTH, kommer att arbeta med Malmvägen under ett läsår, och frågade Testbedstudio Arkitekter om de ville leda den första kursveckan. Vi menade att studenterna i första hand behöver lära känna området och dess invånare. Vi föreslog att arrangera en fotbollsmatch på planen i Malmparken, som ligger mitt i området. Detta är ett evenemang som enkelt och direkt kan göra något för och med invånarna på Malmvägen Malmparken Allstars. Anders Johansson
By arranging the football game we had to get in touch with a lot of people to gain attention and get players for the match. Mainly kids from age 5 to 12 took part in the game. They were enthusiastic and happy to play, allthough it was raining. There were 3 matches, each 20 minutes. During the game we took part in the match and acted as referee. Allthough the lack of time to prepare we had to organize the players on the spot the game turned out to be a success, for both the kids and us. Lots of fun for everyone. During this event we got to get a closer look at the social situation at Malmvägen, and we realized that sport could be a significant factor when rearranging the area.

Our basic task was to provide coffee and drinks for the visitors of the Malmparken Allstars event that s why we installed the coffee bar next to the entrance to the football ground. Moreover, as we were offering a demografifika, we tried to find information in an indirect way and involve the participants of the event in our demographic game. The main idea was to build out of the used coffee cups a demographic tree, which will show us what these people like to do in their free time. However, the aim was above all to involve all the visitors and allow them to create a nice object in the fence of the football ground. Thanks to this game we interacted with the people who live in the area, and above all got closer to the kids who are every day in the park playing football and other games.

The idea was to make a movie with Malmvägen s inhabitants, showing and also filming their favorite place, together with pictures of the facades during a couple of hours showing the light change. After spending a day and an evening at site we found it difficult to get adults to cooperate but we met children that generously participated. The result was a five minute clip about the favorite activity at Malmvägen: Football! In spite of the pouring rain we succeeded and showed Malmvägen Moviestars while the real football match went on at the field behind.

The initial intention was to build a simple model of the area and for it to be used as a blank canvas whereby ideas or aspirations for the area might be articulated. The spoken language was a barrier to communication but the visual language of art helped to transcend those barriers. A child s imagination has no boundaries but an adult s is constrained by it s own box: Is it a present? No. Is something inside? No. What is it then? It certainly wasn t seen as a representation of a building through the eyes of a child... Lucie Holopirkova, Mia Ivarson and Julia Ng
We wanted to learn about Sollentuna s Malmvägen area and understand how it works, and decided that the best way to do it would be by meeting the people living in the Malmvägen area during the football match and engaging them in an interactive collage map. Each person could pin prepared photos of the area, or their own drawings or texts, to a schematic map of the area. They could also map their daily routes in the area with ribbons. The information gave a collected Malmvägen map. Lina Goldman, Maria Josa and Kristina Nadaska
Our intention was to use the football ground as a huge advertisement for the people looking out from their windows. Lines on the field show as a symbol that football is going to take place. Enormous words are written on the ground. Words fade naturally during the football match. Madeleine Morberg and Víctor Sanz
The purpose of the light installations is to create a special feeling and to guide the way to the event. The candles on the ground will awake people s interest to walk towards the football field. They also change the impression of an ordinary park in the dark into an interactive happening. The lights around the goal signal football not only for the players but also for the viewers from the surrounding houses. But most of all it gives you a unique feeling when you hit the ball into the gleaming goal. Anna Carlsson and Florian Krebs
