»Kymlinge« (2002) is a research and consultation project by Jan Aman, Micke Daun, Angelo Plessas and Andreas Angelidakis on new ways of developing towns in Sweden. A model of simulated organic growth is proposed, in part inspired by strategy and RPG games: Begining with the installation of low cost raw »industrial« spaces that would attract young people with the ikea energy to fix them up. This demographic would start-up a new area of Stockholm, creating at first a solution to the housing problem, and leading into the area gradually becoming a »cool« destination inside the city.
