• Heart of darkness

  Stockholm’s most emotionally charged and central place has been
  demolished, to the despair of many and joy of others. Salka Hallström
  Bornold and photographer Mikael Olsson draw a heartfelt portrait
  of Slussen’s fifth life, between the modernist cloverleaf formation and
  Norman Foster’s creation – which only becomes reality in 2025.

  Artworks or furniture? Fredrikson Stallard’s practice

  the Swedish-British power couple in Clerkenwell.

• Tales from the hood

  30 years have passed since the UN in 1987 defined social sustainability
  as a goal for all development. What that means in practice is the
  subject for the sustainability group at the architecture firm White,
  led by the social anthropologist Viktoria Walldin. Jenny Damberg and
  Karin Alfredsson shadowed the group out on the field for a day.

• The place beyond the pines

  The story of the mill town Edsbyn is also a tale about the rise of
  the modern welfare state. Bo Madestrand and Carl Hjelte travel
  to the Swedish highlands to visit the humongous factory, where
  generations of villagers have worked since 1899.

• Triennal aftermath

  A year of gargantuan architecture exhibitions has passed. But
  what did we learn from them? Salka Hallström Bornold discusses
  morality, intuition and the art of being relevant with one of the
  masterminds behind the Oslo Triennale: Gro Bonesmo, founder of
  the Norwegian studio Space Group.
