SkyscrapercityThread

I found this thread at Skyscrapercity wich is a comunity of Arcitects and Cityplanners from all over the world discussing arcitecture. You might have guessed that hey share enthusiasm for high buildings. In there the project for Øvre Lodalen is discuseed. Now, remember this dudes are Cityplanners and they have insights and eye for detail. Their comment is that "lets hope this project never gets realised". And i couldnt agree more. Last thing the area needs is more ugly buildings. Anyone who is familliar with the neighbourhood knows this. Yesterday we meet and talked to some of the youth from the area. They happen to also be intrested in animation and it was fun to meet them. The two guys Magnus and Kristoffer told us how easy it is to be recruted to "local gangs that are upto no good" becose there is no other alternatives. In oficial strategy papers it says they want there to be variety of activities for youth run by the comune in area and that they are conserned about the drugabuse and crime statistics and such. But for some funny reason the nothig is done about it........
