All alone at the University Campus

Across the street, well a short bike ride, from the Brunnsviken lake in yesterday's post, this is the new Campus Albano at the Stockholm University. I figured it would be more or less empty this time of the year, and I was right.

The Royal College of Music

The Royal College of Music campus is just a decade old. Located along Valhallavägen at Gärdet in Stockholm. Whenever I see the back side of the building, I think piano. And if you enjoy cool reflection photos, all you have to do is walk around the corner, so that is what I did to snap the second photo. Continuing our walk around the building, we see the glass facade of another building at the campus. And lastly, the old brick stable that some people wanted to tear down, now a part of the college as a beautiful library.

Old and new architecture

There are a total of three hundred or so very expensive apartments located along Valhallavägen at Östermalm in Stockholm. This is Musikslingan. Designed by Brunberg & Forshed. The brick building next to, and in front of the new apartments has an interesting history. Built between 1884 and 1886 as a stable. Designed by the architects Hjalmar and Axel Kumlien. It had the impressive name, Generalstabens stalletablisement. Later, also known as Swartlings ridskola for a number of years. Then, Akademiska hus bought the property, and they wanted to demolish it as they were building a new campus at what would be Kungliga Musikhögskolan. The Royal College of Music. Several people and a number of organizations were understandingly upset about those plans. It all ended in court and that resulted in that the old brick building still stands. And after a big renovation made by AIX antikvarier, this is today the library at the new campus.
