what the archive is about

The Living Archive explores the potential of (post)industrial heritage to transform production in our cities. We collect stories with participatory heritage methods. The nodes for the local collection efforts are Fab City Hubs (FCH). The collection has been carefully assembled by FCH teams who have been learning about, co-creating and applying participatory heritage-making approaches, emotion networking methodology, oral history principles and creative perspective-taking.

Keeping Nordvest lively

Rasmus Larsson is a well-known character in Nordvest. He is a succesfull real estate developer, who buys, renovates and lets out commercial real estate - a passion that started as a side hustle many years ago, fast forward to today where he owns more than 40.000 km2 in Nordvest only. Rasmus is well aware of his role and influence in the neighbourhood.

He is very fond of the edge and diversity that Nordvest represents, at least to him, taking upon his shoulders to keep it a vibrant place characterised by a high degree of social interaction. He links this to the low-rise buildings, among other things, explaining that bright and open streets always bring people together. As a commercial real estate developer, Rasmus has a big say in who gets to be a part of Rentemestervej and the neighbouring streets - and that is not always a question of pounds and pence, if you ask him.

Curating the streets of Nordvest calls for careful consideration, not least if you are a part of the community yourself, Rasmus Larsson points out. He considers it to be a great privilege to be in a position, where he as a developer can set a direction for Nordvest, contributing to forming the neighbourhood in a way that hopefully speaks to people by keep it lively and interesting. That he finds to be the greatest motivation of all.
