Our friend Mattias Karlsson from karlsson wachenfeldt arkitekter sent us this info on their latest project. Dalslandsring is a new center for all kinds of motorsport in the small community of Färgelanda in Dalsland, Sweden. It will accomodate over 30 000 spectators and includes 5 different race tracks, exhibition area, driver education, fire station, motel, camping and restaurants.
Dalslandsring is situated in the car-crazy west sweden and it´s one piece of a puzzle to draw interested visitors to the area. This is to be a facility who stands for a new generation of enviromentally friendly racing. Cars runs on eco-fuels, Dalslandsring produces its own energy and spectators arrive by train.
The Project is based around a central complex with spectator stands, service and the racecontrol tower.

Swedish architects visiondivision won the second prize on a bridge competition in Sweden a couple of years ago with their Bird Bridge. A bit old, yet cool (if someone knows who won the first prize, please let us know).
The site is located in a beautiful untouched forest with old leaf trees in a small rift with a stream at the bottom. This patch of forest lies between The Botanical Gardens and Sahlgrenska, the major hospital in Gothenburg. The bridge would appear as a white hovering line made in plexiglass that slightly reflects the beautiful landscape, which is carried by the tree pillars that disappears in the surrounding nature.
