Description

With the book "Seventeen Swedish Embassies built 1959-2006" the National Property Board Sweden (SFV) opens the doors to 17 of Sweden's embassies and ambassador's residences designed by Swedish architects. Design writer Hedvig Hedqvist and photographer Åke E:son Lindman take us from one continent to another, where the aim is for Swedish values to be brought to life in equal measure in different cultures - a challenge for developers, architects and interior designers. The book is an updated version of "Fourteen Swedish Embassies built 1959-99" which was published in 2001. Three new chapters tell the story of the latest buildings: the ambassador's residence in Pretoria, the ambassador's residence in Santiago de Chile and the incredibly popular House of Sweden in Washington DC. The Swedish embassies are part of Sweden's cultural heritage abroad - here for you to explore!
