  • Stockholm Concert Hall Management of a Project in the 1920S
    STOCKHOLM UNIVERSITY Department of Economic History and International Relations Master's Thesis in Economic History Fall Term 2020 Student: Kjell Rodenstedt Supervisor: Elin Åström Rudberg Stockholm Concert Hall Management of a project in the 1920s Abstract The beginning of the 20th century was an epoch when new industries were established, migration to the cities were increasing, the service sector was growing, and with an increased middle class. Many of the new developments were endeavors, which we today would call projects. The purpose of this thesis is to extend our knowledge about projects during the 1920s, particularly how they were managed and how different persons took on roles and responsibilities to accomplish something they believed in. One such project was Stockholm Concert Hall (1923–1926). The project was managed by the architect Ivar Tengbom, who was the project manager. There have not been any previous studies of the concert hall as a project. Previous research of projects in the past are few and then mostly from the 1940s and 50s. The thesis covers the management of the project and the different roles and associated responsibilities. The main theories are Bourdieu’s Theory of Fields and current project management theories. One of the findings is that just four men with economic, social, and cultural capital dominated the total project process. The project is considered a success; the concert hall is still appreciated. Keywords: Project management, historic project, roles and responsibilities, Concert Hall, Bourdieu, construction,

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/ah.343 RESEARCH ARTICLE The Life and Death of Residential Room Types: A Study of Swedish Building Plans, 1750–2010 Mattias Kärrholm While the study of building types is a well-known and relatively active research field, the topic of room types is less explored. This article takes a broad approach to spatial categorization, enabling the examina- tion of different types of spaces over longer periods. How do different room types evolve and die? How do the different residential room types relate to each other? Do they act alone or do they follow each other over time? The article looks at the particular evolution and development of Swedish residential room types and is based on the study of plans of 2,340 Swedish buildings from about 1750 to 2010. Six themes emerged from this study: thresholds of birth and extinction, abruptive change, the relation between absent and present room types, contagious types, different temporal scales and the stabilization of prototypical sets.

  • Aino Aalto: “A Quietly Flowing Stream” Eva Brydson
    Aino Aalto: “A quietly flowing stream” Eva Brydson Finnish designer Aino Aalto (née Marsio, 1894-1949) is often a footnote in her husband, icon of modern architecture, Alvar Aalto’s biography. An article from the Finnish Design Shop states that Aino’s “...life’s work has been easy to ignore, for example, by naming her merely the muse of her husband, Alvar Aalto.”1 This unfortunate lack of attention to Aino’s individual career discounts the significant contributions that she made to modern Scandinavian design. Collaborative work played a major role during Aino’s relatively short career (ca.1920 until her untimely death in 1949), whether with Alvar or their collaborative design firm, Artek. The early, formative years of Aino’s life and education led to her prominent contributions with Alvar and Artek. A critical inspection of Aino’s notable pieces, along with comparisons of some works that have been attributed to her, Alvar, or them both, reveal the undeniable influences between the two partners. Finally, Aino’s place in history in light of Alvar’s status as a genius of Scandinavian design analyzes the couple’s personal professional partnerships. Aino was born in 1894 in Helsinki, Finland, where she lived throughout her primary and secondary education. Aino was educated at the Helsingin Suomalainen Tyttökoulu (Helsinki Finnish Girls' School), and graduated in 1913. In 1920, at the age of 26, Aino was qualified as an architect after studying at the Helsinki University of Technology with Gustaf Nyström, 1 Kari-Otso Nevaluoma, “Aino Aalto - the strict functionalist,” Avotakka, July 28, 2018, https://www.finnishdesignshop.com/design-stories/classic/aino-aalto-the-strict-functionalist?.

As members of the public circulate through the chapels in each shot, the scenes give an impression of how each chapel guides circulation. In a world in which the "happy" architectural image feels all-pervasive, the British architect and academic Dr. Timothy Brittain-Catlin reveals its darker side suggesting why, and how, we might come to celebrate it. You can read Brittain-Catlin's essays on British postmodernism hereand on colorful architecture, here. This is what at my school we call an "announcement", rather than a statement of fact. Indeed, all architects and architecture students hear these words all the time. But are they Gunnar Asplund Should they be? The Nordic nations—Finland, Norway and Sweden—have reached a pivotal point in their collective, and individual, architectural identities. The Grandfathers of the Gunnar Asplund Nordic style—including the likes of Sverre FehnPeter CelsingGunnar AsplundSigurd Lewerentz, Alvar Aaltoand Eero Saarinen—provided a foundation upon which architects and designers since have both thrived on and been confined by. The Nordic Pavilion at the Venice Biennale —directed by Alejandro Aravena —will be the moment to probe: to discuss, argue, debate and challenge what Nordic architecture really is and, perhaps more importantly, what it could be in years to come.

  • A Pavilion in the Danish Forest by Vilhelm Wohlert, Tradition and Modernity
    Ge-conservación Conservação | Conservation A Pavilion in the Danish forest by Vilhelm Wohlert, Tradition and Modernity Carmen García Sánchez Abstract: Danish architect Vilhelm Wohlert (1920-2007), after a stay as a guest teacher at Berkeley University, designs his first building. Created in a period of flourishing architectural, it achieves a balance between Danish tradition and modernity, where international references -American architecture and Japanese tradition- will be significant. Its ability to fit to the circumstances, makes it a model for the buildings of the future. There is a dialogue with the surrounding nature, her careful observation; establishing a great connection, where the Danish attitude towards her is not a domination. The architect knows the material, and uses it in harmony with its essence. The study suggests that the vernacular may be a process that evolves and transforms over time, involving a significant level of modernity, and that a look at it could be an answer to prevent the loss of architecture identity. Key words: Vilhelm Wohlert, Danish tradition, Japanese tradition, nature, material, vernacular. ”Un Pabellón en el bosque danés por Vilhelm Wohlert, Tradición y Modernidad” Resumen: El arquitecto danés Vilhelm Wohlert (1920-2007), tras una estancia como profesor invitado en la Universidad de Berkeley, proyecta su primer edificio. Construido en un periodo de florecimiento arquitectónico, logra el equilibrio entre la tradición danesa y la modernidad, donde las referencias internacionales -la arquitectura americana y tradición japonesa- serán trascendentales. Su capacidad para adaptarse a las circunstancias, lo convierte en un modelo para los edificios del futuro. Hay un diálogo con la naturaleza circundante, su atenta observación; estableciéndose una gran conexión, donde la actitud danesa hacia ella no es de dominación.
