Uppsala 1961 - Folke Heybroek

Uppsala 1961

For this important new civic building, Folke designed and oversaw the making of these striking pierced steel panels. The abstract design, wonderfully successful at this early date, makes the building and is timeless in its quality of achievement.

The building is now a music centre, the panels are still in place.
