Svensk Standard will be working at Kulturhuset, Stockholm, this weekend. We have been invited to produce feedback on the guidelines for architectural quality, ‘Arkitektur Stockholm’, recently put forward by the City of Stockholm. Our workshop will focus on terms and concepts used within the text, and portrayed as “naturally” benign truths. Phrases like “contemporary architecture” and “well-functioning urban life” will be reassessed, redefined and handed back to the City as trojan horses, posing questions and proposing a different idea of how to define architecture and city planning in a more open and experimental manner.

Cities the magazine
New magazine “Cities the magazine” kicked of the production of their first issue with a workshop held this monday at gallery Detroit (Roslagsgatan 21, Stockholm).
The magazine will focus on different urban conditions and peculiarities around the world and the staff are constantly looking for new contributors. From the website:
“We don’t want to hand you a tourist guide.
We don’t want to show you the last renderings of the best architects.
We don’t want to provide the latest trends and design concepts.
We don’t want to update you on the current fashion weeks and art openings.
We want to speak about cities.”
So, if you are interested in breaking up the printed intellectual monoculture of Sweden, write a great piece about cities and send it to them or simply visit their website at www.citiesthemagazine.com and get the first issue when it gets released.
