STOCKHOLM Copyright and Printul NORDISK ROTOGRAVYR Stockholm. Sweden I93 6 , ! Det gamla franska ordet Le style est de l'homme meme be­ sannar sig, nar det galler den byggmastares arbeten, sam har i bild oeh text presenteras. Ordet kan tagas i sin mest vidstraekta bemarkelse. Ieke endast sit att Cyrillus Johanssons verk aro ut­ tryek fOr hans egen personlighet. Men sit att de fittt sin form framfor allt ur kanslan for manniskorna, fOr vilka de ha kom­ mit till. Stilen ar sprungen ur manniskan sjalv. Stil kan framkomma pit olika satt. Det finns arkitektur, sam ur tekniken nittt sin form, den nya tekniska fullandningen ar sjalva stilen. En annan byggnadskonst saker sin framsta impuls ur traditionen, den arbetar med den historiska pastiehen. En an­ nan !Iter foljer en faststalld, auktoritativ regel, en en gang for alla vunnen formel fOr sanning, bekvamlighet, styrka oeh skon­ het. Slutligen en annan later verket ge ett djCirvt oeh uppseende­ vaekande uttryek at en subjektiv kansla, itt ett konstnarstempe­ rament. Cyrillus Johansson foljer ingen av dessa vagar. Han tanker enkelt oeh tryggt pa de manniskor, som skala bo i hans hus, far­ das pa hans gator, andas i hans parker, bedja i hans kapell, ar­ beta inom hans kontor. Ur denna kansla for manskligt liv fin­ ner han sin form. Oeh den bottnar djupt. Den vill soka ur de skiftande tidsfOreteelserna, ekonomiska, tekniska, soeiala, kultu­ rella, skapa sunda arbetsforhallanden oeh lyekliga hem. Cyrillus Johansson har framfOr allt studerat storstadsmanni­ skan oeh hennes villkor. Han har byggt hennes hem, hennes ar- betsplats och hennes vagar till och fran arbetet. Han har en fast mening om hur citybildningen skall ske i Stockholm, en ur stadens egen struktur organiskt vuxen bildning. Han rades icke nya in­ grepp, nya storstilade tag i kommunikationsleder och kvarters­ gestaltning. Men han har med allvar och klokhet studerat hur gammalt och njtt skall motas. Han gor inga onodiga operativa mitt i gamla organismer. Han hOr inte till de stadsplanedoktorer, som arbeta efter satsen: min operation lyckades, men patienten dog. Darfor ar han en stark motstandare till det kanda parad­ numret: Sveavagen fram till Gustaf Adolfstorg. Mycket har andrat sig, sedan det forslaget, under I6oo-talet avsett fOr kung­ liga processioner och under I8oo-talet for hastdroskor, passade Stockholm. Det ar farligt, nar gamla s. k. kungstankar spoka i moderna trafikhjarnor. Johansson provar formen for det moderna, vaxande Stock­ holm, han soker smidiga vagar for rorelsen och samlande grepp for bebyggelsen. Han vill betona stockholmsterrangen, taga vara pJt sol och utsikt, fanga den kollektiva samkanslan i kontors­ arbete och affarsliv i maktiga, men icke kolossala byggnadskuber. Han anskar inte bygga skyskrapor endast av fafanglig lust att na ofantliga hajder, - val vetande att sprakfOrbistringen vid Babelstorn nu ersatts av trafikfarbistringen vid modernt sky­ skrapebygge. I byggnaden Centrum har han sagt sitt starkaste ord angaende citybebyggelse; det stora affarshuset med den stromlinjeformade fasaden kurvatur ur ett brusande bilstrak - bjuder pJt mer an ypperliga kontorslokaler; det finns i dess ljus- och basargard en smula naturlig gladje, - litet atervunnen arkitektonisk melodi for Larssanerna. Han har aven en mycket fast mening om hur storstadsman­ niskorna skola boo Helst utanfar huvudstaden, men icke i fly­ tande villasamhallen, icke heller i stora, tata block. Han vill skapa, sm.!l idylliska orter, farlagda i valdiga naturparker. Sm.!l­ stadens behag och sociala struktur skall skanka den rotfasthet, den rofylldhet, den samling, som nutidsmiinniskan efter dagens arbete i stdrstaden behover. Det har synts arkitekten att denna smilstadsbildning pil ett lyckligt siitt iir anvisad av naturen sjiilv i Stockholms omgivningar. Aven det enskilda egna hemmet har han iignat fin omtanke. lntimitet och oppenhet iir hans riktlinjer for privathuset, lugn inilt, fri blick utilt. Hans hus fil sluten karaktiir, men anliigg­ ningsplanen, organiskt sammanhiingande med terriing och na­ tur, saker sig mot vidd och frihet. Cyrillus Johanssons byggnadskonst iir odogmatisk. Den saker tillfredsstiilla de moderna behoven, men foraktar inte de gamla erfarenheterna. Den tar giirna i sin tjiinst timmerviiggen och te­ gelmuren, trots att sil milnga fiirskare byggnadsmaterial anmiilt sig. Den ansluter sig giirna till gammal svensk formation, trots att sil milnga internationella nyheter stil till forfogande. Den visar i all ansprilkslOshet, hur den gamla tendensen till enkelhet, nyttighet, iirlighet, fornuft, alltsil den gamla funktionalistiska tendensen i svensk byggnadskonst, lilter sig forena med de riitt­ miitiga nya kraven pil materiellt saklig och socialt nyttig arkitek­ tur. Jag tror, att Cyrillus Johansson ger svensk byggnadskultur ett gott handtag med den bok, som han hiir utgiver. Stockholm juli 1936. RAGNAR JOSEPHSON InnehiUl. FGRETAL ..... I Kapitel 1.

  • Historical Perspectives on the Transformation of Urban Waterfront Space in Stockholm During the Twentieth Century
    A view from the wharf: historical perspectives on the transformation of urban waterfront space in Stockholm during the twentieth century Natasha Vall Abstract This article examines the development of Hammarby Lake City in southern Stockholm on a former industrial, waterfront site during the 1990s. The setting may resemble global redevelopments of urban waterfronts and docks; however, Stockholm needs to be viewed against longer cultural, aesthetic and historical influences. This includes early twentieth- century precedents rooted in civic and residential engagement with the modern and industrial shoreline. In addition, an informal human interaction with the abandoned southern Hammarby harbour evolved during the 1950s through reoccupation by an itinerant community of workers. Such forerunners have often been overlooked in dominant accounts of a late twentieth century dramatic transformation of industrial waterfronts. The article concludes that there is scope to align the theme of waterfront development more closely to the longer history of the twentieth century city. This perspective provides a useful counterpoint to the leading view of such spaces as an expression of late capitalism. 1 Stockholm has a notable vista of waterfront buildings from the early modern mercantile of Gamla Stan, the stylish modernism of Kungsholmen to the twenty first century exuberance of Hammarby Lake City. Stockholm’s old southern harbour, the rehabilitated site for ‘Hammarby Lake City’ boasts lakeshore apartments, waterside dwellings and public spaces. With vistas continually framed by water, sometimes still, sometimes moving, these have been carefully planned to draw the gaze towards the open water and the extending horizon.1 A few decades earlier we would have had a different experience.
