with Inigo Minns
Arkitekturmuseet Risk Centre will temporarily transform the museum into a site-specific risk assessment facility and performance space that considers how we, in our everyday surroundings, navigate a landscape of risk and subsequently how designers and architects accommodate this. This risk facility re-programmes the museum to become the venue for a public engagement programme that gives children and adults a better understanding of how their environment impacts on their own personal safety.

KNITTING HOUSE
24 January – 3 March 2013
Elin Strand Ruin and The New Beauty Council
“What can a narrowly focused examination, done in textiles, of the private spaces in a typical Million Dwelling Programme apartment contribute to the discussion concerning change and renovation of such housing? For us, Knitting House is a way of concretely associating to questions of housing and the urban environment that we think relevant to Husby and many other similar residential areas in Sweden and in Europe. We who were engaged in this knitting project brought to it a variety of life stories and backgrounds. Very few of us knew each other from the start; we came from 12 different countries and literally struggled to find a common language.”
