2 Woodland Cemetery Skogskyrkogården Sockenvägen Stockholm The Woodland Cemetery - Skogskyrkogården - in Enskede, southern Stockholm, was built between 1919 and 1940 by the architects Gunnar Asplund and Sigurd Lewerentz On a ridge overgrown with pines they created a sacred landscape with several small chapels arranged to interact with the natural surroundings It expresses on a large scale the design aspirations that characterized Swedish architecture before and after World War II Asplund mainly devoted himself to the buildings, with the Crematorium standing out as a central work both in his own career and in the architecture of the 1930s as a whole Skogskyrkogården was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1994 The justification of the World Heritage Committee was: "Skogskyrkogården is an outstanding example of how architecture and landscaping from our century combine to make a cemetery This creation has had a great influence on the design of cemeteries all over the world" 1940 City of Stockholm Maarten_Scheurwater the visitor centre is open every day from 12-17:00 hr, from the 27th of May to 2 September Closed 22 and 23 June To book a tour, contact the Stockholm Stadsmuseum at 2

3 Stockholm Public Library Odengatan Stockholm Like many of Asplund s other projects the Stockholm City Library ( ) went through numerous modifications and alterations during the design process Unlike most of his major projects, the design work of the Library was assigned to him without a normally required competition This arrangement provided Asplund the opportunity to develop his design in a more relaxed manner Eventually the design was a round hall surrounded by staircases, a tall cylinder with an opaque glazing in the roof lights The base of the building is a square The combination of spherical and cubic forms was a frequent motif, which can be found in both Asplund s earlier projects and those of his contemporaries A strict, symmetrical variation of this motif can be seen as a product of the search for innate aesthetic value of forms in the context of Classical Revival 1928 City of Stockholm Maarten_Scheurwater 3

4 Woodland Chapel Skogskapellet Sockenvägen Stockholm In the beginning of the 20th century Stockholm s burial grounds had to be expanded, so an international architect competition was initiated in order to ensure the dignity, artistic quality and harmony of the buildings, vegetation and landscape of a new cemetery - Skogskyrkogården, the Woodland Cemeter south of Stockholm A part of the Cemetery and the first chapel in the park, the Woodland Chapel, designed by E G Asplund, was completed in 1920 The wooden chapel with its white-washed walls and black roof is adorned by Carl Milles sculpture The Angel of Death, iron gates designed by Asplund and an altar painting by artist Gunnar Torhamn died in 1940 He rests beside the Chapel of Faith under a simple epitaph bearing the words His work lives 1920 City of Stockholm Maarten_Scheurwater The Tallum Pavilion, which is in the south of Skogskyrkogården, has a permanent exhibition about the cemetery and the two architects This visitor centre is open every day from 12-17:00 hr, from the 27th of May to 2 September Closed 22 and 23 June To book a tour, contact the Stockholm Stadsmuseum at 4

5 Bonniers Konsthall Torsgatan Stockholm Bonnier, 's largest publishing house, has added an extension to their post-war offices in Stockholm The new building is quite straightforward - a transparent glass and steel structure that sleekly follows the perimeter of what used to be one of the office's garden terraces This generates the building's most conspicuous feature - the flat iron form The Bonniers have been keen collectors for as long as they have been publishers So when they announced to house a gallery in the new extension, many expected it to be a display of their own collection However, this is not the case The focus is rather seriously and promisingly on contemporary art A fully glazed building does entail some obvious challenges, such as how to deal with the sun The aluminium louvres on the south façade facing the railway track, completely transform the building when the sun shines It changes from a delicate glass structure into a Potemkin-like wedge, which is not necessarily a bad thing Floor area/size m² Johan Celsing Arkitektkontor Bonnier Group Claes_Sorstedt : Wed 11:00 to 20:00 Thu-Sun 11:00 to 17:00 Café: same hours 5

9 Moderna Museet Malmö Gasverksgatan 22 Malmö In 1901 architect John Smedberg established a beautiful electricity plant building on Gasverksgatan 22, whose glowing gasholder long gave Malmö residents electricity A little over 100 years later, the building and neighbourhood had changed In 2008 it became clear that the Moderna Museet Malmö would open as a subsidiary to Stockholm, in one of 's most beautiful exhibition halls It would be time to re-fill the old electricity plant building with art The transformation mission went to the award-winning architect firm Tham & Videgård Hansson Arkitekter They chose to establish a new annex - a contemporary addition to the historic building and give the interior an entirely new spatial order The new annex has a perforated orange-red façade, which connects to the brick architecture of the old On street level the façade is fully glazed, for daylight The turbine hall will be separated in three and contains except the exhibition halls a pedagogical workshop Tham & Videgård Arkitekter Moderna Museet Malmö TVA Tuesday, Thursday - Sunday Wednesday Mondays closed Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 3 pm: A guided tour of the current exhibitions The guided tour is included in the admission No advance booking required Free for visitors aged 18 or under Limited numbers Moderna Museet Malmö is located in the city centre of Malmö Ten minutes walk from the Central station, five minutes walk from Gustav Adolfs torg and Stortorget 9

10 JLindeberg Flagship Biblioteksgatan Stockholm The Stockholm flagship is composed of four distinctive worlds: The entrance works as a 3-dimensional exhibition space The entrance floor houses the 'casual' collection and further in the 'sport' collection Upstairs is dedicated to the tailoring and made-to-measure section Even though each world is unique in its expression, they need to be connected visually through certain materials and furniture because of the deep and narrow shape of the shop Materiality and the juxtaposition of furniture from different époques are the starting point of the design The dominating materials are corten steel, reinforced glass, cocos carpets, concrete and oak The fixtures are a mixed of customized vintage furniture and new produced modules designed by the office 2008 Albert France-Lanord (A)rchitects JLindeberg AF-LA 10
