Gustaf Ferdinand Boberg (11 April 1860 – 7 May 1946) was a Swedish architect.[1]
Biography
Boberg was born in
Falun. He became one of the most productive and prominent architects of
Stockholm around the turn of the 20th century.[2] Among his most famous work is an electrical plant at
Björns Trädgård in
Stockholm, that was inspired by Middle Eastern architecture. The building was converted in the late nineties and is now the
Stockholm Mosque. He also designed
Nordiska Kompaniet, the most prominent department store in Stockholm and
Rosenbad which today houses the Swedish government chancellery.[3]
Boberg's only international exhibition building that remains in existence today - the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair
Swedish Pavilion - remains standing in
Lindsborg, Kansas. [4]
After retiring as an architect in 1915, Boberg and his wife Anna traveled around Sweden with the aim of preserving the cultural heritage through a book of drawings. Over 3,000 sketches were made and around 1,000 drawings were published in the volume Svenska bilder ("Swedish Images").[5]
