Tall Timber Building by C.F. Møller Architects

The Tall Timber Building residence by C.F. Møller Architects is Sweden’s tallest solid wooden building in the new district of Kajstaden at Lake Mälaren in Västerås.

The building is nine floors high with an elevated ground floor and a top floor with a double height ceiling. All parts of the building consist of cross-laminated wood, which includes the walls, joists and balconies as well as the lift and stairwell shafts. According to C.F. Møller Architects, the total carbon dioxide saving is estimated to be 550 tonnes of CO2 when using solid wood instead of concrete.

The Illusionists

Despite the fact that it hasn’t even been Masquespacio’s home for a month, I am met with the same breathtaking space that is so characteristic of the studio’s projects. The size of the facade makes the interior volume feel like an illusion – its walls and ceilings spanning domes of space, colour and light.

Cryptography

In the new issue of Form, Bo Madestrand draws a timeline of the technology developed within the history of bronze processing. Historically, the bronze was the base for weapons such as shields and swords, before it eventually reformed into art such as the heroic statues of Gustav II Adolf and Gustav Vasa made of molten bronze from canons.
