Architect: Ralph Erskine

Built in: 1983

Builder: Stockholms Universitet, Akademiska hus

 

The Stockholm University Library main building was opened in 1983 and designed by Ralph Erskine. The library is centrally located on campus Frescati and has a large entrance hall combined with the building Södra huset, designed by architect David Helldén. The large open indoor landscape and the varying facades outward characterize the library building. Along the west facade are four balconies found, and the long, shiny steel roof with its two towers marks the building in the landscape. The building blends in well with its surroundings and other Erskine buildings, for example, Aula Magna and Juristernas hus.

 

Stockholm University Library currently consists of the main library and 9 branch libraries: the Department of Media, Journalism and Communication Library, the Cinema Studies Library (with the Swedish Film Institute), the Asia Library, the Mathematics Library, the Geolibrary, the Department of Social Work Library, the Arrhenius Library (chemistry and biology), the AlbaNova Library and the Library of the Institute of Latin American Studies.

The Lawyers House, Juristernas hus, opened in 1991 and is designed by architect Ralph Erskine. The house has a slightly irregular shape and the floor plan is a semicircle that curves around an old oak tree.

lewerentz placed all windows in the gables and the resulting blind roof and facade are striking and one of the first times we fully the recognise the architect to come.

The former spa (founded in 1707) is the home of the well-known Ramlösa mineral water. Many of the now protected buildings from the hay-day of the spa are well preserved. They are now primarily used as residences and offices. The Ramlösa brunnspark is today a wonderful, quiet park for visitors to enjoy.

Stockholm Waterfront, consists of three separate buildings for conferences, hotel and offices. The buildings are located at Klarabergsviadukten in central Stockholm, at the place where Klara postterminal [sv] previously stood, overlooking Riddarfjärden. The complex is built for three functions, called Radisson Blu Waterfront (for hotel), Stockholm Waterfront (for congresses) and Waterfront Building (for offices). Architect is the White arkitekter firm. Radisson Blu operates the hotel and congress parts and was opened on January 20, 2011.

 

The first idea for a complex at the site was presented in early 21st century by architect Gert Wingårdh, a proposal for a new hotel and congress centre at the city block Bangårdsposetn 1 och 2. His proposition was however seen as to challenging at one of the most vulnerable places in Stockholm, on Riddarfjärden and neighboring the Stockholm City Hall and was never realized.

 

The present project Stockholm Waterfront began in 2005, when the City of Stockholm asked if Jarl Asset Management wanted to present a suggestion how the area at the old mail terminal could be developed. The city wanted a facility for congresses and a hotel, but for the project to be more economic the owners of Jarl Asset Management also build an office complex. White arkitekter was hired as architect.

 

The stainless façade was constructed from duplex stainless steel Z-profiles, 3 to 16 metres (9.8 to 52.5 ft) in length, approx. 26 kilometres (16 mi) in total, fabricated from duplex grade EN 1.4462 (ASTM 2205) supplied by Outokumpu.Fingerprint resistant austenitic[clarification needed] grade EN 1.4301 (ASTM 304) was also supplied by Outokumpu for interior window and door frames.

the dark building with the white interior since became something of a trope in nordic architecture.
