Red Light District?

Nope. It's an installation called Hanging around. Part of the International Year of Light. Fifty or more lamps like this one lights up Eskilsvägen in Handen. www.ljus2015.se/

KTH Hazing

Treat your overall as a dirty dog. Soon it will smell like a dirty dog. Don't clean the overall. What your overall needs: Lots of pockets for beer. A hidden pocket for a hip flask. Maps. Flash-light. Bottle opener. Cocktail book. Barf bag. First year students from The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH Haninge), during hazing.

Hazing

Met this happy bunch of KTH students near the mall in Handen. They walked around like this for hours. Either from the School of Architecture, the Built Environment, ABE, or the School of Technology and Health, STH, all based in Handen.

The Future of Urban Farming

KTH, the Royal Institute of Technology has set up this new greenhouse cupola at the Berga agricultural college. I visited during the annual open-house weekend. This is a aquaponic system. There's a fish tank in there. The water from the tank will be used to grow the tomato plants that are growing in sand.The water is cleaned as it goes through the sand and then back to the fish tank again. There are only two greenhouses like this one in Sweden today. In the future we will probably see them everywhere in the cities, up on the roofs. It is an interesting concept. No pollution from this greenhouse. The only thing added is water and fish fodder. The greenhouse will be heated by a heat exchange system, using a heat pump. The light will come from LED lamps.
