The seminar will investigate the structural systems of
the late modernist housing era from 1965-1974 in Sweden. We will do this
through visiting, analyzing, and documenting the rapidly changing building
stock. We will also begin collecting, identifying, and re-documenting the
rapidly disappearing construction documents through interviews, lectures and
archive searches.
One million units of housing were built during the ten
year period. They are currently under national and international review through
the threefold force of sustainability, wear and tear, and social issues.
Approximately four to five hundred thousand units will be
rebuilt/renovated/changed during the coming ten year period at a cost of
approximately SEK 400 000:- to 500 000:- per unit. This amounts to a total
investment of up to SEK 250 billion without a clear idea of how this is to be
done.
The findings from the seminar will be one step towards
producing an exhibit at the Swedish Museum of Architecture in 2013. The nucleus
of the exhibit is to be a series of large scale wooden models describing the
structural systems and their potential for change; which will be the subject of
another course or seminar...
