Malmarna Part 3, 2022–
A digital continuation of Göran Bergquist and Sune Malmquist's 1969–70 survey Malmarna, which mapped every property in Stockholm's inner districts by year, architect, and builder. The original made the historic stone city legible at the moment it was most under threat of demolition.
Part 3 picks up where that record closed and extends it from 1980 to the present. The material has taken the form of a GIS map, each property plotted, dated, and attributed bringing the recent city into the same resolution as the historic one. Postmodern infill, late-modernist housing, contemporary densification and conversions accumulate without a shared record. The map is an attempt to close that gap and unlock different readings of the city.
