Walking tour in Vårberg
11:30 Vårberg
Vårberg is a very diverse area of Stockholm, and much of the architecture there is bolder and more international than was usual for the 1960s. We take a walking tour and find out why it looks like it does in this area of the city, which is relatively unknown for many. Our tour guide is Per Olgarsson, building conservationist, Stadsmuseet (The Stockholm City Museum). NOTE: The tour will be conducted in Swedish.Read more about the walking tour and book tickets here.
This autumn, Stadsarkivet (Stockholm City Archives) and Stadsmuseet (The Stockholm City Museum) will be presenting a number of exciting lectures, events and guided tours in collaboration with ArkDes and in connection with the exhibition Flying Panels – How Concrete Panels Changed the World (18 October 2019 – 1 March 2020).

Guided tour: Arcitecture in focus: Tensta
11:00 Tensta
Tensta was one of many new districts that emerged in the Stockholm region in the 1960s. And after just two years of construction, the first tenants were able to move into apartments there. Stadsmuseet (The Stockholm City Museum) has recreated the apartment of the Artursson family, who moved to Tensta in January 1969. Everything has been recreated, from their furniture, books, records and magazines to the canned foods in their pantry. This tour will allow you to experience how everyday life may have been for a family at the time Olof Palme first became prime minister, Swedish TV had only two channels, 1 öre coins were still in circulation and milk in Stockholm was delivered by the dairy cooperative, Mjölkcentralen (The Milk Central). The guided tour will be led by Eva Larsson, architectural historian. Price 120 kronor. Tickets can be purchased through Stadsmuseet. NOTE: The tour will be conducted in Swedish.

ACCEPTERA – a Swedish manifesto?
18:00 Aula at ArkDes. Free entry. In English.
Acceptera (”Accept”), the book from 1931 that is regarded as the manifesto and “call to arms” of Swedish functionalism, has recently been published in a German edition, translated and annotated by the architectural historian Atli Seelow. We have assembled a panel of experts to discuss how Acceptera relates to the Bauhaus and German intellectual culture of the early 20th century.
Participants
Helena Kåberg, PhD and curator at Nationalmuseum, is one of the editors of the English translation of Acceptera, published in Modern Swedish Design: Three Founding Texts (The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2008).
Atli Magnus Seelow, Dr.-Ing., architect and architectural historian, docent at Chalmers and the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, has annotated and translated Acceptera to German – Akzeptiere. Das Buch und seine Geschichte (FAU University Press, Erlangen, 2018).
Sven-Olov Wallenstein, professor of philosophy at Södertörn University and co-author with Helena Mattsson of the book 1930/31 Den svenska modernismen vid vägskälet (“1930/31 Swedish Modernism at the Crossroads,” Axl Books, Stockholm, 2009), about the construction and uniqueness of Swedish modernism.

Three hours, three lectures. Hear about how the suburban youth of the 1980s put colour on the grey concrete, about the traces the suburban cultural committees left behind and about kollektivhus, or cohousing buildings, that emerged during the interwar years and became one of the sources of inspiration for the satellite suburbs and the Million Programme. With Sandra Häll Pettersson, Stadsarkivet, Lee "Brain" Spångberg, graffiti artist, and Peter Salomonsson, Stadsarkivet. Free entrance. In Swedish.Read more about the programme here.

City walking tour: Concrete on Södermalm
14:00 Södermalm
Concrete was the most common building material in the 20th century and formed modern Sweden. Today, we often associate concrete architecture with the suburbs and the Million Programme, but this walking tour will take us concrete hunting on Södermalm. We will pass post-modern buildings from the 1980s, overpasses and motorways, old industries, buildings from the Million Programme and schools – everything built in beautiful concrete. During the tour, we will also hear about the lost lake Fatburen, Söder Torn and the old Kooperativa Förbundet’s (Swedish Co-operative Union) sausage factory. The tour will be led by Per Olgarsson, building conservationist, Stadsmuseet (The Stockholm City Museum). Tickets 120 kronor. Tickets may be purchased through Stadsmuseet. In Swedish.Read more about the walking tour (in Swedish) and book tickets here.
