- Changes to the lighting of space and work in three libraries:Stockholm Public Library 1928, Norrköping Public Library 1971, and Helsinki Central Library Oodi 2018SummaryThe article examines how the design of daylight and electric light influences the creation and use of space by studying three specific examples: Stockholm Public Library from 1928; Norrköping Public Library from 1971; and Helsinki Central Library Oodi, which opened in 2018. The research combines an historical analysis with ethnographic field studies to examine lighting design as an integrated, active component of the narrative of the built heritage. The study of the libraries looks at the development of spatial lighting design and work lighting. The key role of reading light in library programmes provides insight into how contemporaneous rules and regulations for lighting were applied in the three examples. The study demonstrates how lighting theory, orientated towards quantitative assessment criteria for work lighting, increasingly prioritised an ideal of vision at the expense of spatial illumination. Yet the study also shows how technological advances have created new spatial possibilities, changing the conditions for previously established lighting practices. Based on the lighting design of the three libraries, the article poses the following questions:How have lighting technology and building design influenced each other, and what are the spatial results?How has lighting theory influenced the design of spatial illumination and work lighting?The three libraries represent three eras of light sources: the incandescent light bulb, fluorescent tube and light-emitting diode (LED), exemplifying how advances in lighting technology have provided increasingly intense, uniform and controllable illumination. Each library exhibits a different approach to the contrast management and flow of light. In the first example, which dates from an era when daylight was still central to the illumination needs of buildings, the lighting design derives from the contrast between light and dark, relating to how visitors moved through the building. In the second example, the lighting design stems from a uniform, more static form of illumination, catering for the needs of central vision. This design emerged at a time when electric light was already predominant. In this form of lighting design, contrast and flow recur, yet in a clearly different way to the two buildings of the previous century.

- This article deals with the historical reception of modern public buildings, advocating further research in this field in order to understand the role of monuments in the canon of modern architecture. Sweden’s most referred building in an international context, the Stockholm Public Library, serves here as a case study. Paradoxically, the library is still not officially listed, although most experts would agree on its importance, but this is not unusual with modern monuments of the 20th Century. On the contrary, modern public buildings constitute a mere fraction of Sweden’s built heritage, managed by the National Property Board.Ever since Stockholm Public Library was completed in 1928, its reception has continuously changed over the years, both for ideological reasons and in response to practical demands. Originally, the monumental character of the building was partly criticised, while its rational organisation was generally acknowledged. From a Swedish perspective, the library was overshadowed by the Stockholm Exhibition of 1930. Thus, in the national historiography of Swedish architecture, the library has been interpreted as the final monument of Nordic classicism. However, from an international point of view, the library was included in the canon of modern architecture during the late 1970s. Its Post-Modern fame climaxed in 1985, in connection with the centenary of the architect, Gunnar Asplund.More recently, in 2006–07, after the decline of the Post-Modern movement, the library was reappraised in an international competition for its enlargement. Following the competition, the plan for the extension was heavily criticised, both nationally and internationally, and the project was finally abandoned. The article holds that, given better knowledge of the library's international status, this reaction would have been foreseeable. In other words, analyses of the historical reception might serve to indicate possible examples of conflict in future heritage practice.

Fortified Towns in the Former Borderlands of Sweden and Denmark

- This article deals with the origin of the 17th century fortified towns in the former borderlands between Sweden and Denmark, with special emphasis on Kristianstad, Kalmar and Karlskrona. These towns, established between 1614 and 1680, mirror contemporary developments in architecture, urban planning and fortifications engineering. They also point to the interaction between military, commercial and prestige-related requirements.On starting point here is the notion of the ideal fortified town as being characterised by deliberate partnership between military fortifications and civilian settlement. Even the private houses were regulated, and the public buildings played an important role in giving the towns a symbolic and becoming outward appearance. This is an important reason for the fortified towns including some of the foremost buildings of the age in Sweden and Denmark.The article also discusses the relationship between different professions, such as architects and engineers. Previous research has often highlighted the architects at the expense of the engineers. Well-known architect names – Tessin for exemple – have been associated with town plans and individual buildings without the source material warranting any such assumptions. In other words, previous research is open to further development and revision in a number of fields relating to the interaction of military and civilian architecture during the 17th century.

- Noble grandeur and bourgeois comfort: Two period rooms at the Nordic MuseumIn 1907, the newly opened Nordic Museum (Nordiska museet) in Stockholm presented a selection of the museum’s comprehensive collections. Visitors were already well acquainted with its folk-art exhibitions, but the size of the space devoted to the upper-class collections was something new. The chronologically arranged Avdelningen för de högre stånden ('Gallery of the upper classes') included period rooms, which were intended to bring to life the development of the Swedish home from the 16th century onwards. Today few traces remain of this exhibition, which was dismantled and stored away in the early 1970s. The exception is two interiors – a state bedroom from Ulvsunda Castle in Bromma, and a room from a bourgeois home at Högbergsgatan in Stockholm. Today the context of these rooms has been changed, yet after more than a century, museum visitors can still experience them. This article traces the history of how these period rooms has been altered over time, which allows them to guide us through a relatively unresearched chapter in the history of the Nordic Museum.At the turn of the century 1900, numerous period rooms were created in European and North American museums, where they formed part of the canon of art and architectural history. In recent decades, long having been regarded as a dated form of exhibition, these installations have received increasing attention by academic research. This study focuses on the Nordic Museum interiors, which from 1907 until the early 1970s were part of the museum’s comprehensive exhibition of the cultural history of the elite. The analysis is based on various questions that relate to the origin of the interiors and how the exhibition format was applied. Focusing on the two extant interiors, the article discusses what specific practices the museum developed in this area. The main goal is to shed light on the museum’s role in communicating Swedish domestic culture.The study of the Nordic Museum’s period rooms show just how closely related they were to the museum’s dissemination of knowledge as a whole. The reconstructed interiors were chosen primarily to illustrate specific phases of Swedish cultural history. The upper-class gallery was created and retained at a time when stylistic typology was a core feature of academic research into artistic artefacts. The layout of the exhibition, where visitors would walk from room to room, era to era, reinforced this chronological perspective. The concept of stylistic typology was associated with the cultural history of the elite and the shifting international currents in architecture, art and interior design. The museum’s research into domestic history and the history of the built environment interacted with its exhibition work. From this perspective, the Nordic Museum’s upper-class gallery embodies the theories and practices predominant in cultural science at the time.
