This project is a celebration of an office building in Stockholm from the 1960s, by proposing to preserve the existing and make an addition, to enhance what is already there. A premise of the project was to look upon the extension as a parasite. The existing building is a result of a formulated bureaucratic ideal, a piece of text. By using bureaucracy as a theme, the extension is parasitizing on the existing building. The theme has been explored through the use of bureaucratic tools, letters and numbers. Methods of performing bureaucracy, to do paperwork, its automatization and aesthetics, how forms and documents look. What does the contemporary nomadic office worker need? What props and supplies? How to create a bureaucratic atmosphere? How to relate to the history of office planning and keywords such as flexibility and mobility? How to relate to the actual material of the already existing? How to attach one thing to another?
