  • Architectural Research in Sweden After Le Corbusier's Projects
    DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/LC2015.2015.893 Experimenting with prototypes: architectural research in Sweden after Le Corbusier’s projects I. Campo-Ruiz Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Madrid, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid Abstract: Le Corbusier’s architectural production throughout the twentieth century served as a reference for subsequent developments in architecture and urban planning in Sweden. Some of the buildings and urban plans subsequently developed in Sweden and influenced by Le Corbusier’s ideas and projects also impacted on the international architectural scene. This research analyses how the study of Le Corbusier’s works affected projects in Sweden from the 1920s to the 1970s and how they also became an international standard. Le Corbusier’s works provided a kind of prototype, with which Swedish architects experimented in alternative ways. During the 1920s, Le Corbusier’s Pavilion de l’Esprit Nouveau and the Stuttgart Weissenhofsiedlung impressed influential Swedish architect, including Uno Åhrén, Gunnar Asplund and Sven Markelius, who later became proponents of modernism in Sweden. The 1930 Stockholm Exhibition marked a breakthrough for functionalism in Sweden. After 1930, urban plans for Stockholm and its suburbs reflected some of Le Corbusier’s ideas, such as the urban plan by Sven Markelius, and Vällingby’s town centre by Leif Reinius and Sven Backström. After 1950, Léonie Geisendorf , Ralph Erskine, Sigurd Lewerentz and Peter Celsing placed considerable emphasis on rough texture in poured concrete. Lewerentz, who admired the works of Le Corbusier, designed the churches of Markuskyrkan in 1956 and St Peter’s in Klippan in 1966, with a wider international impact.

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.

    Il viaggio come tropo della modernità: i “Nordici” spostamenti dislocamenti conoscenza e memoria Per quanto concerne la specifica tradizione nordica del viaggio di formazione, essa viene a concretizzarsi con chiarezza e struttura per la prima volta nei primi anni dell’Ottocento, con l’avvento della moda del viaggio in Italia come momento di perfezionamento della propria formazione e come momento di immersione diretta nella Storia per esperirla di persona (secondo una schietta tradizione nordica: quello dell’esperienza diretta appunto). Il tratto più originale di questa caratteristica nordica, che fa propria una tradizione di antica origine negli altri paesi europei (quella del Grand Tour appunto), consiste nella originale capacità - una volta rientrati in patria - di negoziare tra locale e internazionale; nel modo di vivere la Storia e di misurarsi e confrontarsi col Passato, quello grande, quello Collettivo. Cioè con la capacità di relazionarsi ai diversi Canoni interpretati e incarnati dalle Pompei, interior decoration opere e dai luoghi meta dei viaggi. Gustaf Dahl, 1866 Viaggi dedicati sicuramente all’esperienza diretta della Classicità ma, come testimoniano i resoconti (appunti, schizzi, foto, ecc.), anche dedicati ad interessi ben più ampi di quelli coincidenti con la classicità rinascimentale. In primo luogo, emergono dai racconti i Paesaggi (intesi come sistema complesso di Natura + Intervento antropico), poi Taormina, the Theatre Piazza Pio II Orvieto, landscape con egual interesse e attenzione la classicità Ragnar Ostberg, 1897 Hilding Ekelund, 1922 Armas Lindgren, 1902 rinascimentale e la tradizione medioevale. The Anglo-Indian writer and critic Salman Rushdie suggests that ‘newness enters the world’ through mimicry, imitation and repetition. In the repetition of a style, a language, there occurs the release of something more, of something that exceeds a previous location.

Nordic Visions of a Classical World (1901 – 1966) Harry Charrington TEXT An Emancipated Tradition Steen Eiler Rasmussen’s remark, “On the whole, art should not be explained; it must be experienced”, befits what has come to be called Nordic Classicism, and the determinedly non-doctrinaire approach of its practitioners.1 At the same time, the ambiguity inherent in this comment frustrates those critics for whom the classical world is something less mutable and more certain. Francesco dal Co berated, “…the many clichés utilized […] to explain the architecture of Aalto, […] vague and disappointing expressions, as generic as they are void of meaning: ‘northern classicism’, ‘Italy’, ‘Mediterranean’, ‘Greece’, ‘classical architecture’, ‘Renaissance palazzo’, ‘architettura minore’, ‘the holy land of Tuscany’ etc.?”2 Nordic Classicism is, arguably, just such a vague term, covering everything from the unrelenting repetitiveness of Kay Fisker’s Borups Allé flats in Copenhagen (1922–23) to the festive decorativeness of Hakon Ahlberg’s Pavilion for the Gothenburg Jubilee (1923).

  • Hapticity and Time Juhani Pallasmaa Notes on Fragile Architecture
    Hapticity and Time Juhani Pallasmaa Notes on fragile architecture Materials and surfaces have a richly complex language of their own that evolves and changes over time. In this major essay, Juhani Pallasmaa puts the case for haptic, sensuous architecture. Modern consciousness and sensory reality have gradually developed towards the unrivalled dominance of the sense of vision. This thought-provoking development has been observed and analyzed by a number of philosophers in recent years. [1] David Michael Levin, one of today's thinkers concerned with the hegemony of vision, motivates the philosophical critique of the visual bias in the following words: 'I think it is appropriate to challenge the hegemony of vision in the ocularcentrism of our culture. And I think we need to examine very critically the character of vision that predominates today in our world. We urgently need a diagnosis of the psychosocial pathology of everyday seeing -- and a critical understanding of ourselves, as visionary beings'. [2] I believe likewise that many aspects of the pathology of today's architecture can also be understood through a critique of the ocular bias of our culture. As a consequence of the power of the eye over the other sensory realms, architecture has turned into an art form of instant visual image. Instead of creating existential microcosms, embodied representations of the world, architecture projects retinal images for the purpose of immediate persuasion. Flatness of surfaces and materials, uniformity of illumination, as well as the elimination of micro-climatic differences, further reinforce the tiresome and soporific uniformity of experience. All in all, the tendency of technological culture to standardize environmental conditions and make the environment entirely predictable is causing a serious sensory impoverishment.

  • ICOMOS ISC20C Asplund Heritage Alert
    HERITAGE ALERT September 2009 ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on 20th Century Heritage SUMMARY In 2007, the winning design of an architectural competition for an extension to the Gunnar Asplund designed Stockholm City Library was announced. The heritage significance of the library building and its annexes are theoretically protected by a range of Swedish laws, but it is considered that the winning design would have serious adverse impacts on the heritage of the Asplund Library complex. The proposed size of the new buildings would overwhelm the library and the original monumental main entrance would loose its function, thereby diminishing the power of Asplund’s original design. The proposed demolition of the three annexes would destroy the overall experience of the site as originally planned and designed by Asplund. The heritage values of this site, and the international importance of the work of Gunnar Asplund requires careful and comprehensive reconsideration of the proposal to avoid such impacts. The presidents of ICOMOS, the International Union of Architects, Docomomo and the ICOMOS ISC 20C have jointly requested that the Mayor of the City of Stockholm urgently reconsider the project to avoid any adverse heritage impacts, and to resolve a more acceptable design solution in heritage terms. 1 Identity of Building/Artifact/Object/Place 1.1 Current name and original name: Stockholm’s stadsbibliotek/Stockholm City Library. Official property identification: Spelbomskan 16 1.2 Location Town, Country, Street : Stockholm, Sweden, Sveavägen 73 1.3 Classification/ Typology: The main library of the City of Stockholm is an internationally well known modern classicist building designed by Gunnar Asplund (b.1885 - d.1940) and built in 1924- 28 as a forerunner of the Modern Movement in Sweden.

  • Nordic Library Architecture in the Twentieth Century: the Emergence of the Scandinavian Style
    Nordic Library Architecture in the Twentieth Century: The Emergence of the Scandinavian Style Nan Dahlkild, Royal School of Library and Information Science, Copenhagen The aim of this paper is to investigate the emergence of the Scandinavian Style of library buildings in the twentieth century in relation to the creation of the Nordic welfare state, the cultural politics of the welfare state and the popular movements of enlightenment and library development. Both social, cultural and architectural theories will be applied. The main thesis is that architecture and design of Scandinavian library buildings are reflecting “genius loci” such as the cultural politics of democratisation and enlightenment and Scandinavian architectural tradition and development: That you can “read” the libraries as documents of the intentions behind them, both the aesthetics and the practical planning of the architecture and design, the division of space, the decoration and the presentation of books and other materials. Sources of documentation will be the buildings themselves as well as the professional discourses in debates, architectural competitions, journals and textbooks, both amongst architects and librarians. Background The development of the modern public library system in the Nordic countries took its offspring in the beginning of the 20th century. In Sweden, the Dickson Library was erected in Gothenburg in 1897 based on the inspiration from the American public libraries with their open shelves. Similarly, a series of spectacular public library buildings were constructed in Norway during the first decades of the century such as the Grünerløkken branch of the Deichman Library in Oslo from 1914 and the Bergen Library from 1917.
