INTBAU-Sweden was formed in 2017, as a new standalone chapter emerging from the wider coalition of INTBAU-Scandinavia.  The chapter previously hosted the annual Engelsberg Summer School in Classical Architecture in close collaboration with the Ax:son Johnson Foundation of Stockholm.

Sweden has a wonderful heritage of both wooden and masonry buildings, as well as splendid pre-20th Century urbanism and architecture in cities like Stockholm, Gothenburg, Uppsala and other cities.  INTBAU-Sweden is engaged in both promoting the value of the existing built heritage, and protecting it from ill-conceived projects – like the out-of-context Nobel Museum proposal in Stockholm – and in championing the value of heritage patterns in more human-scaled, more livable new developments.

The Swedish chapter has recently been reactivated after some years of dormancy and we are looking forward to host several initiatives in the coming future. The Swedish Chapter welcomes the collaboration with other chapters of INTBAU, and with other organisations around the world seeking to enhance the role of traditional knowledge in today’s built environment.
