From far outside the city you can see the two spires that are the symbol of Skara. The first known cathedral on this site was consecrated around 1150, but new finds indicate that there was already a church here in the 11th century. Bo Beskow’s 43 stained glass windows alone make Skara worth a visit. However, you will find much more that is also beautiful about the city, including the architecture in the city centre. VARNHEM ABBEY AND KATA GÅRD – DISCOVER TRACES OF CHRISTIAN VIKINGS The magical and atmospheric setting around the abbey church and ruins provides some fantastic history to uncover. Behind the abbey ruins archaeologists have unearthed some sensational finds that provide informa- tion about the site from the time before the monks came here in the 12th century. At Kata Gård modern architecture meets 1000-year-old walls. Here you will find the ruins of one of Sweden’s oldest churches, a private farm church from the Viking era. The church crypt is presumed to be one of Sweden’s oldest preserved rooms. The building is named after the woman who was in charge of the large farmstead here during the latter part of the Viking era. NATURE EXPERIENCES Between Lake Vänern and Lake Vättern you will find many different types of lands- cape. Geology and the ice age have shaped a varied habitat for humans, plants and animals in this unique plateau mountain region. Limestone clefts with orchids, areas of plain, thousands of flowering cherry trees, bogs, kame topography, boulder ridges, peninsulas and fantastic lakes of all sizes.

  • Målbild För Kollektivtrafiken År 2025 I Skaraborg
    Målbild för kollektivtrafi ken år 2025 i Skaraborg september 2009 Förord Det är angeläget att Skaraborg utvecklas till en konkurrenskraftig region baserad på hållbar utveckling, attraktivt boende och en miljö som stimulerar företag och näringsliv. I december 2007 fastställde kommunalförbundet till- växtprogrammet för Skaraborg som syftar att uppnå just detta. Kollektivtrafi ken utgör ett viktigt medel för att uppnå en positiv utveckling i Skaraborg. Förbundet har därför tagit initiativ till att utarbeta en målbild för kollektivtrafi ken fram till 2025. Målbilden skall främja den regionala utveck- lingen, skapa samsyn mellan kommunerna och minska transportsystemets miljöbelastning i framtiden. Arbetet har skett i nära samarbete med kommunerna, Ägarrådet Skaraborg och Västtrafi k. Målbilden skall vara vägledande för att utarbeta ett kollektivtrafi kprogram fram till 2025. Detta arbete startar under hösten 2009. De uppsatta målen kan endast uppnås genom att samliga aktörer och intressenter arbetar tillsammans. Därmed får vi en förstklassig kollektivtrafi k som stärker Skaraborgs utveckling och konkurrenskraft i framtiden. Målbilden fastställdes av Skaraborgs Kommunalförbund 2009-09-11.

The investigation has been conducted during the period 2009-2011. The date of the final report has, following a government decision (17/11/2011), been postponed until 30 March 2012. The assignment has involved a comprehensive risk analysis incorporating calculations of the prob- ability of landslides and evaluation of the consequences that could arise from such incidents. By identifying the various areas at risk, an assessment has been made of locations where geotechnical stabilising measures may be necessary. An overall cost assessment of the geotechnical aspects of the stabilising measures has been conducted in the areas with a high landslide risk.

    Lars Vipsjö Rapport DIGITAL SITE-SPECIFIC NARRATION ALCHEMY OR TOOL? Lars Vipsjö Lars Vipsjö Abstract This report is based on the site-specific art that developed during the latter part of the 20th century, by practitioners who wanted a more engaging dialogue between works and viewers. The strategies led many artists to move from galleries and art galleries to landscape and urban environments. A concept for the works that the movement from the galleries led to is Land Art. The Creative Europe-funded project Off Season Art Gardening (OSAG) is based on this movement. The project carries out activities in the form of workshops and lectures and creates artistic installations in the public space, adjacent to three rural towns, in the Netherlands, Sweden and Lithuania. My contribution to the project has partly been to place OSAG in an art and visual science context, and partly to relate the work carried out within the project Kulturarv och Spelteknologi i Skaraborg (KASTiS) - Cultural Heritage and Game Technology in Skaraborg, to the same context. Within KASTiS is the demonstrator Kiras and Luppe's Bestiarium – KLUB. KLUB is a transmedial children's book project that is used to build a contextualising narrative platform for otherwise disparate cultural heritage sites and objects within a large sub-region via fictional characters. The intangible cultural heritage from the area is also part of the project. The report concludes with a recommendation to actors in digital site-specific storytelling, which is partly based on the artist Robert Smithson's thoughts on a dialectic between his works of art displayed inside galleries (Nonsites) and the works created in the landscape (Sites).
