Wikipedia: Stockholm Exhibition (1930)

"The fair was significant in the history of architecture in Stockholm, firmly establishing functionalism as the dominant architectural style in Sweden."

"The two head architects were
Gunnar Asplund and Sigurd Lewerentz."

"All of the fair buildings were temporary. But the fair's ideas lived on and influenced the shape of Swedish housing for years to come."

Baddaren blå

If anyone knows the designer and when it was created please let me know.


To earn this classic little learn-to-swim badge you need to manage these three tests:
1: "the dip test".
You have to submerge your head five times.
2: "the bubble test". Breathe in, hold your breath, submerge and exhale under water. Repeat five times.
3: "the gliding test".
Glide for 5 seconds face-down with outstretched arms.

The Daring Dobermans


I like cutting out details from old movie posters and then do some cleaning and perhaps a bit of rearranging and disfiguring to it. Here are some results.

All or most of the original posters were found at the excellent Wrong Side of the Art!
