Reconstructing the Stockholm Exhibition 1930

Stockholmsutställningen 1930 rekonstruerad

1st ed.

The Stockholm Exhibition 1930 of Arts and Crafts and Home Industries ('Stockholmsutställningen 1930 av konstindustri, konsthantverk och hemslöjd') and the manifesto Acceptera, published the following year by the exhibition organizers, mark the breakthrough of Modern Architecture in Sweden as well as in other Nordic countries. The exhibition is organised by Svenska Slöjdföreningen ('Swedish Arts and Crafts Society'), managed by its director, the art historian Gregor Paulsson, and designed to a large extent by Gunnar Asplund. Paulsson conceives the exhibition as a comprehensive and future-oriented display programme encompassing the three themes of "Architectural and Construction Details", "Streets and Gardens, Transport" and "Household Objects". Asplund designs a complementary display aimed at "beauty and festivity". The Stockholm Exhibition is a phenomenal success and attracts more than four million visitors, including 25 000 foreign guests, making it at that time the most popular Swedish exhibition ever held. Despite its enormous success the architecture of the Stockholm Exhibition has been studied surprisingly little in detail and its buildings are astonishingly poorly documented. In order to reconstruct the architecture of the Stockholm Exhibition, rediscover its qualities and bring it to life, in 2014 and 2015 master's students of Chalmers Department of Architecture undertook to reconstruct the pavilions in the form of models as part of the course "Nordic Architecture". The reconstruction of the pavilions led to a series of discoveries testifying to an architectural quality that cannot be discerned from pictures or drawings, but is documented in this volume.
