Creativity in the Västerbotten region What is Floda31 Why How Who: our background Example projects Residencies: Erasmus for young Entrepreneurs Workshops: Prototyping the Future Curated Residencies: Hill Park What is Floda31? Floda31 is a laboratory for innovation and creativity. We provide an environment that fosters new connections, networks and crossdisciplinary encounters, in order to come up with sustainable design solutions. Workshops House Shed 2 Summerhouse Vegetables Shed 1 Current set-up Lots of space, ancient forest all around, a workshop full of tools, a network of creative thinkers and doers and plenty of time to play. Why here? This part of Sweden is in the last remaining wilderness of Europe. We are situated in the Taiga forest, which is the largest connected forest stretching around the Northern Hemisphere making up 27% of the world’s total forest. Why here? Being here encourages talented individuals from various disciplines to collaborate and share knowledge in order to redefine problems and create innovative solutions. Why us? Richard Holland and Marije de Haas ran a creative agency company called Bullet in London from 1998-2010. 7À`Ê*ÀiiÀi\Ê->`iÀ½ÃÊ7iÃ]Ê«ÀÊ£ä£Ó]ÊÓään >Ê`«ÌÞV º- >À`ÃÊvÊviÛiÀà ]ÊÕ«Ài`VÌ>LiÊÛiiÌÊÀVV iÌÊÌ ÀÕ} Ê7>ÞiÊVÀi}À½ÃÊ ÊV Ài}À>« ÞÊÜÌ ÊÌ iÊvÀViÊvÊ>ÊÕi>à i`ÊVÞVi»ÊÃÊ}iiÃÊ/ià ÜÜÜ°À>``>Vi°À} ÜÜÜ°Ã>`iÀÃÜiðV Why us? Working with a wide range of clients and collaborators inspired us use our skills and network for ‘the greater good’. How do we stimulate innovation? Workshops We host bespoke workshops. Residencies Year round we are open to individual residents to work on their own projects. Curated Residencies Twice a year we invite someone to set a brief and to create a team to fulfill this brief.

We like to share our ideas. 3 Creation With our new thinking we get creative. You never really know if something is going to work, unless you try. We get our hands dirty and start prototyping.

A curator will set a brief, a team will be invited to work on this brief. The aim of the curated residency is to generate an outcome. This outcome won’t be prescriptive but will evolve from the experience of the residency. Summer 2011: Friggebodar Curated by Johan Berglund This project is to design and build two sustainable friggebodar that can house residents at Floda31. The friggebod will serve as a sustainable prototype, and will propose new and innovative ways of designing with the climate in mind. Team: p Unit 8, the Bartlett School of Architecture, UK p Umeå School of Architecture, Sweden p Lucy Rist: Sustainable forest specialist p Stoffel Kuenen: Interaction designer p Martinssons: Pre-fabricated local wood (TBC) p Plano AB: Tools Summer 2011: Hill park Curated by John Bassett We will design and build a sculptural action sport park for use summer and winter, by snowboarders & skiers, mountainbikers & BMXers. Additionally it will function as an architectural and engineering ‘testing ground’ for experimental, innovative and sustainable building techniques. Team: p Nicolas Müller/Gigi Rüff: Professional snowboarder (TBC) p Rowan Sorrel: Professional mountain biker p Jakob Gate: Architectural student p Henric Johansson: Hunter master p Umeå University: Biologists and scientists p The Made Up Collective: Designers p Peter Lundstrom: Photographer Hillpark An innovatively constructed and ecologically sound action sports facility on the hill below Floda31 Unique Facility Nike 6.0 Tunneljam, Petersfield, UK.
