Résumé:
The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's mission is to promote a sustainable society. A part of this work is the development of visitor centers in important natural areas, known as Naturum (a play on the words nature and room). About 30 have been built since the 1970s, in recent years, with increasingly evident architectural ambitions. The book focuses on 13 of the major visitor centers: from Stenshuvud in Skåne to the Great Sjöfallet in Lapland. They have been documented with nearly 150 photographs, recently taken by Åke E:son Lindman, and the book also includes a large amount of drawing materials. (Swedish and English edition)

Résumé:
Dementia presents immense challenges – both for individuals as well as for society as a whole. More than 35 million people all over the world currently live with dementia, a number that is expected to double by 2050. This also has implications for architecture and urban planning because dementia often affects people’s sense of orientation and their ability to perceive space. How can homes, apartments, public buildings, outdoor spaces, neighbourhoods and cities, as well as environments and infrastructure, be designed to meet the needs of people with dementia as well as those of their caregivers? And can a consideration of the problems of dementia lead to a better understanding of space that can improve architecture and the built environment for us all?
