The authors
Elvy Engelbrektson – artist and color architect. Initiator of the Äppelviken Culture and Environment Group. Garden City Culture Day, Capital of Culture Year 1998 City Museum exhibition Garden City 100 years (2013-2015).
Helena Hambraeus – architect MSA/SAR, initiator of the Äppelviken Culture and Environment Group, Garden City Culture Day, Capital of Culture Year 1998. The City Museum’s exhibition Garden City 100 years (2013-2015).
The Colors of the Garden City explains what is special about the centuries-old cultural environments of Bromma and other garden cities in Sweden. What is it that makes the garden city such an attractive form of living even for modern people? What gives character to the urban plan and to buildings and gardens from eras with different stylistic ideals? Learn the differences between the National Romanticism of the 1910s, the Neoclassicism of the 1920s and the Functionalism of the 1930s.
The authors began their mapping of garden cities in Sweden as early as the 1980s, by producing material with color schemes and character descriptions for typical houses of the time. Parts of the material are now in a permanent exhibition in Måleributiken in Alvik and have been shown at the City Museum 2013-2015.
The purpose of the book is to draw attention to the unique cultural values of the garden city for all of us and at the same time inspire you as a homeowner to learn more about architecture and coloring. A cultural environment needs to be protected and your house needs continuous care and attention. When repairing and renovating your house – make sure you do not damage the house due to ignorance.
