The Goddess of freedom in Karlberg

The Goddess of freedom in Karlberg
This is the roof of an Italian designed parking garage at Rörstrandsgatan. Fun fact, the first fully automatic parking garage in the country. And then it stopped working one day and 18 cars were locked in for around six weeks! Needless to say, it never re-opened. Oh, and back in the day there was a big porcelain factory here, called Rörstrand, hence the big teacup thingy with the dragonfly in it up on the roof. Made by the artist Jeanette Karsten.

Italian and technique. Always something to mistrust but the design is mostly excellent.

Imagine not getting your car for 6 weeks. My Mum has some Rorstrand plates.

I can see that having had been a concern for the car owners.

Down the street from here they are opening a new parking garage for electric cars, with room for 1000 vehicles.
