Årstafältet and Micromanaging the Visions, Arkitektur

There is a lack of both political will and practical tools to turn beautiful words into concrete results in terms of sustainability, says Per Haupt and Meta Berghauser Pont, referring to the plans for the new Årstafältet in Stockholm as an example.

Are there alternatives, more performative and less static ways to regulate urban development? Challenges such as climate change, ecological degradation and class inequalities are too serious to be answered using only form and lifestyle …

What, where and for whom do we build?

KS berättar om kvaliteter i planering och bostadsbyggande!

Ola Kjellander och Stefan Sjöberg är inbjudna att tala och delta i diskussion om stadsbyggnad och bostäder på Färgfabriken den 17:e april.

Show more

Under 2012 blev vi närmare hundra personer fler i Storstockholm – varje dag. Var ska våra nya grannar bo? Det byggs nya enklaver och det kompletteras i befintliga stadsstrukturer. Hur förvaltas det platsspecifika i förverkligandet av Promenadstaden? Vilka framsteg har gjorts inom bostadsbyggandet det senaste decenniet? Vad bygger vi nu? Hur uppnås en långsiktig hållbarhet i såväl arkitektur som i byggnadernas utformning? Vem bygger vi för? Förändrade hushållssammansättningar och ett förhållandevis homogent bostadsbestånd ger utmaningar för nybyggandet. Vi har ett gyllene tillfälle att komplettera med bostadstyper som saknas. Hur förvaltas den möjligheten? Vad behöver vi för bostäder?

Välkommen till en eftermiddag om framtidens bostadsbyggande! Seminariet anordnas av samfundet St Erik.

KS lecture on urban design

Stadsbyggnadskontoret i Stockholm

KS var i veckan inbjudna av Stadsbyggnadskontoret i Stockholm för att diskutera begreppet stad på temat:

Vad är en stad? Vad skapar en stad?

Det blev ett öppet samtal kring stadsstruktur och “byar i staden” – stadsdelars inbördes relation och förhållande till staden i stort.

Show more

Exemplet som KS presenterade var det urbana, historiska London, vars framväxt och kraftiga expansion 1700-1830 lade fast stadens nuvarande karaktär och struktur. London visar på en utveckling baserad på spekulationsekonomi, utveckling på privat mark med arrende, marknadsstyrd planering och bostadsbyggande. Parallellt finns ett tydligt fokus på skala, detaljering och väl avvägda stadsrum. Gränsen mellan det privata och offentliga är tydlig.

Föreläsningens fokus låg på stadsrum, stadskvalitéer och hur kända typologier kan bygga upp en stadsstruktur med innehållsmässig flexibilitet.

Efterföljande diskussion blev intressant och givande, den handlade om hur en stadsstruktur (urban fabric) kan etableras och om behovet av gemensamma planeringsprinciper och spelregler. Bebyggelse som speglar en “common ground” – en gemensam grundsyn och kultur.

KS riktar ett stort tack till arrangören, Stadsbyggnadskontoret, och till alla inblandade!

On Education, RUM

The industry is positive to the quality of Swedish design and architecture education. Most agree, however, that the gap between studies and reality is too large.

In this article, Ola Kjellander answers the following questions:
1.     What do you think of today’s graduate students’ competencies?
2.     Have you noticed any lack of competence in any specific area?
3.     How much insight do you have in the Swedish architecture education and what do you think of the quality of said education?
4.     Have you hired any new graduates this year? If so, how many?

New Architecture: Housing, Arkitektur

The topic “Housing”, Annedalsterrassen is covered in the magazine Arkitektur, no. 2 2012.

Tomas Lauri writes:
“As an urban project, I can better understand the three apartment buildings Kjellander Sjöberg Architects has designed in the new area Annedal in Stockholm. The directional shifts of the buildings, which in plan looks like a mannerisms, is on site an obvious adaptation to the landscape….the buildings are clever, the expression shifting with the viewing angle. Distinctiveness is enhanced by the varied and rugged texture of the brick facade. It would have been fun to see these houses as a starting point for the entire city plan, which generally resort to traditional courtyard houses. Kjellander Sjöberg raises hope for a city that does not really exist, but perhaps should exist. A city that is not blind to the alternatives, which is varied and contextually anchored down to the details.”

Kjellander + Sjöberg Architects

Monograph, Tomas Lauri, Arvinius Publishing, 2011

220 pages fresh from the printer. The book is published by Arvinius Publishing.
Editor Tomas Lauri, text by Hans Ibelings, Olivier Namies and Tomas Lauri
Graphic design by Nille Svensson
Photography by Adam Mørk and more

“Kjellander + Sjöberg Architects are considered innovators of Swedish architecture. During more than ten years, they have created an architecture far from the obvious, that lasts over time after a long period of daily use. It´s an architecture where housing, social issues concerning how we live our lives and our need to participate in public life is central. Architecture should come close. It should intensify and improve everyday life. “Kjellander + Sjöberg let architecture be what it should be”, says Hans Ibelings in one of the book´s essays.”
