Handbook for an old garden

Discover, preserve, recreate. A garden is in a state of constant change. Caring for an old garden is therefore not about freezing a state. Instead, it is about getting to know the garden in order to best preserve its various elements for the future.

In his role as a garden antiquarian, André Strömqvist has extensive experience of older environments and, as a gardener, the necessary practical knowledge.

He describes how we can find clues, interpret what we see and set a level of ambition that works. He guides us through the different parts of the garden in the form of flower beds, hedges, stone paths and fruit trees. He describes how we can go about caring for, restoring and recreating the various parts, and lets history in the form of pioneers of older times, methods and cultural varieties arouse curiosity and inspiration.

Colors of the Garden City

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.

Typical of the time

Stylistic shifts in everyday architecture
Tidstypiskt gives those who influence and develop residential buildings and interiors a tool to base long-term sustainable management and development of the building stock on knowledge of existing values.

The authors take us on a hundred-year journey through stylistic changes in everyday architecture. Typical building details from Stockholm are presented decade by decade. From the classicist architecture of the 1880s via the stripped-down functionalism of the 1930s to the 1970s return to the grammar of the stone city as an ideal.

The building details vary with the prevailing architectural style, from the composition of the facades to the division of the windows and the design of the door handles. The reader is given the opportunity to learn and interpret the buildings and details of different periods. Knowledge provides richer experiences and constantly new impressions of everyday architecture – our built cultural heritage.

Photographs and drawings clearly show the development of residential buildings in the city and the traces left by different styles.

A drawing section makes it possible to date door linings and floor plinths – or to use the drawings to make new ones.

The book is aimed at architects, real estate developers, property managers, property owners, but also at housing associations and homeowners. The book is also suitable for teaching purposes.

Four wallpapers, nine borders

Almost all repeat patterns have been painted using stencils throughout history. The painters of medieval churches, the wallpaper makers of the 18th and 19th centuries, all used stencils to create their repeat patterns.

The golden age in Sweden was the early 19th century, when people often decorated their houses with stencils, a cheap and relatively easy way to imitate the expensive printed paper wallpaper of the upper classes. Stenciled walls became the decorative art of the social middle class and were common in the finer rooms of the home. In kitchens and simpler rooms, the walls were more often splash-painted. In some parts of Sweden, stencilling developed into a fine art, such as Hälsingland. Many patterns became localized, as painters worked within limited geographical areas.

In the 20th century, the technique has survived, for example in the production of signs. With the revival of interest in folk art in the late 20th century, stencil painting experienced a renaissance and many local associations and museums took up local patterns again.

Interest in old houses has also opened up new avenues for stencilling in cities. In the stairwells of apartment buildings, it is therefore common today to have stenciled borders on the walls. Stenciled walls often have bold patterns and many people are therefore hesitant to use them. But remember that stenciled wallpapers almost always belong to rooms with breast panels. They are only meant to cover part of the wall. That’s why wild and colorful patterns can still create both calm and harmonious rooms.
