Bonniers Konsthall Torsgatan 21 11390 Stockholm http://wwwbonnierkonsthallse 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 2006 1500 m² Johan Celsing Arkitektkontor Bonnier Group Claes_Sorstedt : Wed 11:00 to 20:00 Thu-Sun 11:00 to 17:00 Café: same hours http://wwwmimoaeu/users/weisong/guides/stockholm/ 5

House K Forgatan 8 SE-182 74 Stockholm This house in Stocksund is a thin block with cut-outs for light, double-heights and a roof terrace Using the full width of the property it separates the front yard facing east from the garden in south-west Through its position, it's experienced almost exclusively at a frontal angle, and appears as if just a line The plan is simple: entrance and stairs fits into one box on ground level, a central passage on the upper floor gives access to bedrooms As a result, movement through the house is characterised by visual shortcuts, spaces and activities overlap The main structure is in situ cast concrete, which is exposed in the cantilevered entrance canopy, only seven centimetre thin By using a system with the thermal insulation as form work, costs have been reduced to not more than a standard house The interior is finished with white plaster, all floors and wooden details are white ash Facades are stained black 18 mm plywood panels, mounted in layers on a slowly grown pine framework Project is not public!

Archipelago House Husarö Stockholm This is a summer house on the island of Husarö, in the archipelago of Stockholm The starting point is the direct relation to the dramatic archipelago landscape with the objective to offer within a simple frame - a platform - several diverse readings of the relation space-nature, conceived as a light weight construction in wood and glass The horizontal character of the black stained exterior relates to the verticals of tall grown pines and the mirrored views of the Baltic Sea The geometry of the plan is generated by the specifics of the site, the house being fitted into the flat surface between two mountain rocks and turning simultaneously towards the sun in south and frontally towards the sea in west With the small rooms placed in the back, the social areas of the house stand out as an open platform crisscrossed by sliding glass The zig-zagged layout also creates a series of outside places sheltered from the strong winds Project is not public!

Moderna Museet Malmö Gasverksgatan 22 Malmö http://wwwmodernamuseetse/sv/malmo/ 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 9-2010 Tham & Videgård Arkitekter Moderna Museet Malmö TVA Tuesday, Thursday - Sunday 11-18 Wednesday 11-21 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 http://wwwmimoaeu/users/weisong/guides/stockholm/ 15
Pionen White mountain Renstiernas gata 37 116 31 Stockholm http://wwwbahnhofse/colocationphp The project takes place in a former antiatomic shelter An amazing location 30m down under the granite rocks of the Vita Berg Park in Stockholm The client is an internet provider and the rock shelter hosts server halls and offices The starting point of the project was to consider the rock as a living organism The humans try to acclimate themselves to this foreign world and bring the best elements from earth: light, plants, water and technology We created strong contrasts between rooms where the rock dominates and where the human being is a stranger against rooms where the human being took over totally The choice of lightning has been very challenging We tried to bring as much variation as possible Otherwise it is very easy to loose the feeling of time in an enclosed space Our references come straight from science fiction films, mostly Silent Running and a bunch of Bond films with Ken Adams set design Project is not public!
