The project is a development and reworking of the book Fasader i Göteborg (1996) in which the photographer Hans Hammarskiöld's black and white images dominated. Gunilla L. Bjur expands the new book with fifteen years of architectural history research on architects working in Gothenburg, presented in pictures and text with short biographies. They were active during the period when Gothenburg was transformed into an industrial city. The book describes Gothenburg's architecture from the breakthrough of industrialism to around 1920. Looking at a facade can be as challenging as meeting the face of an unknown person. At a casual encounter, the facade may seem indifferent, attractive or repulsive. A detail can stop the gaze and create curiosity. Facades form a screen to the life behind them. We experience, act and think as much between the facades of the outer walls as in the rooms inside. Photographer Krister Engström and architect Gunilla Linde Bjur have together portrayed an era in Gothenburg's history from the mid-18th century to the post-19th century. The photographer's camera eye amplifies the present and sharpens the eye for what everyone can see. The architect interprets the facades, contemplates their creation and allows historical colleagues and builders to emerge. Gothenburg's buildings are brought to life in a way that makes every city walk a journey of discovery.
