  • 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.

  • Interior Topography and the Fabric of Terrain
    1 Interior topography and the fabric of terrain A starting point: A useful starting point for us is to ask what could these two activities: Interior and Landscape design, possibly have in common, particularly when human artefacts and processes are often thought of as being in opposition to the natural world. However, both designers of Interiors and landscapes are engaged in producing cultural artefacts. Both set out to create environments to enable people to live, work and play and no matter how “natural” a landscape appears to be, for example Central Park in New York it is, as Jonathan Bate reminds us “a work of art, it is a representation of the state of nature “ Bate (2000) pg 63-64, and therefore as much a product of human culture as any interior. They are both cultural practices. We seek to locate our observations on the relationship between Interiors and landscapes by looking at the impact of modernism on them both, and in particular the manner in which modernist conceptions of space have affected not only them, but all environmental disciplines We propose that Interior and Landscape design, and experience, share common characteristics of surface, dressing, performance, transience and potential. The argument is presented in two parts: Part 1 outlines general propositions that pertain to both interior and landscape design practices, where conditions of nature and culture, nature and art, are seen as overlapping and correspondent. 2 Part 2 examines these characteristics in the context of the Woodland Cemetery Stockholm, designed by Gunnar Asplund and Sigurd Lewerentz, principally between 1915 and 1940.

  • Nordic 100331-Low.Pdf
    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).

  • Professor's Name
    ST PETER’S CHURCH IN KLIPPAN ANALYSIS 1 ST PETER’S CHURCH IN KLIPPAN ANALYSIS Student’s Name: Professor’s Name: Course: Date ST PETER’S CHURCH IN KLIPPAN ANALYSIS 2 ST PETER’S CHURCH IN KLIPPAN ANALYSIS Background The Church of St. Peter is a masterpiece of architecture by a Swedish architect Lewerentz aged seventy-seven years.nThe structure is characterized by deep mastery of the act of building that has nothing to do with displays of virtuosity and everything to do with an all pervasive, existential character that fills their every pore. Lewerentz was one of five welcomed to plan outlines for the church1. He applied the themes of architecture to achieve an excellent structure. Through the support of the expert individuals from the jury, his practically reluctant proposition, containing a few options, was acknowledged by the lay jury. The building made Lewerentz's name famous to a bigger open and united his position as the living expert among Swedish designers. Introduction In its formal expression, the church building is anachronistic manifesting a number of spatial references by all catholic churches to Swedish monasteries and all this is characterized by symbolic use of bricks. This resulted to a beautiful structure with a specific architecture that feels to be contemporary well as vernacular and exceptional in design. It is this quality that makes it famous and frequently noted in the contemporary architecture.2 The Church and Its Setting. 1 Jones, Peter Blundell.

  • 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.
