The Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden was founded in the 1820s with the motto “ œScience and Art“ which, at the time, were considered the foundation for the progress of mankind. The motto’s message still survives strongly today, as the building of the Institute itself was completed with this message in mind. The buildings contain close to 150 works of art by some of the leading Swedish artists at the time, such as Carl Milles and Georg Pauli, for example. This book offers a presentation of these works, descriptions of the ideas and influences underlying them, as well as a brief account of the Institute’s history.

In 1990, the Museum of Architecture in Sweden asked 40 women architects, who worked with/ designed houses, city plans, research, landscape, or interior design, to designate their “ œbest“ projects for this exhibition. Included are the writings and black and white photography of works by all 40 architects in their attempts to describe themselves, their lives, and their “ œbest“ work. Because of this personal approach, this catalog is an invaluable resource which effectively reveals the thoughts and works of pioneering Swedish female architects all from this century with an emphasis on modernism.
