Svale

Urban areas are usually the center of individualism and loneliness, we live surrounded by human beings, but ­hardly ever know their names. This can have also an impact on children. Their ­space to move freely is mostly ­restricted to their own flat. SVALE is a social initia­tive that wants to strive against this issue and connect children within an apartment building.
Our aim is to open up already existing common spaces in apartment buildings to get young neighbors closer and ­enable strong community relationships. Staircases – SVALE for Gothenburg's Swedes – become a perfect ­space for children to play together and ­interact with the ones who live next door.
