Philosophy
We have a long experience and wide competence in several architectural elds - from city planning projects and complex working
drawings to delicate interior design. We have an even mixture between residential, institutional, ofce and city planning projects
and we are often invited to architectural competitions. We enjoy the challenge of architectural competition. Its a way to try out
new ideas, widen the horizons and stretch the limits. It is both developing and inspiring for all in our team and an essential part of
our development and research. It has given us a method to analyze a place and its character in order to promote its existing values
in a new architectural concept. The question of sustainability has become an important aspect in the way we work. Our aim is to
design energy efcient buildings combined with good architecture. We are now working on two residential areas based on energy
efcient technology.

Brunnberg & Forshed
Arkitektkontor AB
19502008
The origin of Brunnberg & Forshed Arkitektkontor goes back to
the beginning of the 1950s and the architects ofce Curmans
Arkitektkontor. During the 50s and 60s Curmans Arkitektkontor
was one of the leading ofce for city planning projects in Swe-
den. After decades of large scale housing projects introduced the
70s new values in city planning. Brunnberg & Forshed Arkitekt-
kontor planned and designed a small-scaled community called
Grimsta Village in Upplands Vsby. The project was much of a
protest to the prevalent larger scale residential projects at that
time. After Grimsta Village human scale and variation became
key words for future residential projects. During the 80s the of-
ce got commissions for both ofce and industrial buildings, Ma-
rabou and Astra Head Quarters are two examples of that time.
Since the 80s the ofce has participated in several Housing Ex-
pos in Sweden: BO 85 in Upplands Vsby, B0 93 in Karlskrona,
BO 98 Nybodahjden (Stockholm), BO 02 Hammarby Sjstad
(Stockholm), and BO 06 Tensta (Stockholm). The next Housing
Expo that Brunnberg & Forshed is going to participate is taking
place in Annedal in Stockholm 2012. Examples of recent larger
scale projects are Campus Konradsberg, Gngaren, cityplanning
for Lomma Hamn and Campus Grdet. Today the ofce employs
60 people.

The existing part, the former School of Art called Konstfack, is famous for its modernistic architecture. Bridges combine the old
part and the new addition together. These bridges span over a big open atrium where a white staircase spirals down. The outside
