In 2023, Gothenburg celebrated its 400th anniversary. At the same time, a new cityscape emerged. This architecture can be compared to that completed during the city’s previous anniversary in 1923. It can also be related to a longer tradition of buildings constructed in connection with anniversaries and world exhibitions.

From this perspective, sociologist Karl Palmås and photographer Kalle Sanner explore Gothenburg’s built environment. In a survey that includes film, photography, and text, they trace the visions of the future that underpin the city’s new buildings. Supported by discussions with architecture critic Mark Isitt and author Lydia Sandgren, they pose the question: In what way does the anniversary architecture represent the art of our time?

2023 firade Göteborg sitt fyrahundraårsjubileum. Samtidigt växte en ny stadsbild fram. Denna arkitektur kan jämföras med den som färdig­ställdes vid stad­ens förra jubileum 1923. Den kan även ställas i relation till en längre tradition av byggnader som uppförts i anslutning till jubileum och världsutställningar.

Utifrån detta perspektiv undersöker sociologen Karl Palmås och foto­grafen Kalle Sanner Göteborgs byggda miljö. I en kartläggning som innefattar film, fotografi och text spårar de vilka framtidsbilder som ligger till grund för stadens nya byggnader. Stödda av samtal med arkitekturkritikern Mark Isitt och författaren Lydia Sandgren ställer de frågan: På vilket sätt representerar jubileumsarkitekturen vår tids konst?

Karl Palmås (b. 1976) is a researcher whose work focuses on the relationship between the built and the conceptual. Drawing on sociological perspectives and visual methods, he studies how design professions shape the built environment. Palmås is currently an Associate Professor of Innovation and Societal Change at the Division of Science, Technology, and Society, Department of Technology Management and Economics, at Chalmers University of Technology.

Kalle Sanner (b. 1978) is a photographer exploring the interplay between spatiality and perception.
