SKOGSKYRKOGARDEN - The Woodland Cemetery_ Stockholm study trip

For me, the culture of cemetery parks is very unique and unfamiliar. Because, in Korea, there are just few cemetery parks and the monumental landscape is rare yet. Therefore, visiting Skogskyrkogården was very meaningful experience and impressive to me. I have been fascinated by the solemn and tranquil atmosphere of big scale nature landscape. The harmony of architecture and huge peaceful nature landscape makes mysterious but beautiful atmosphere. I suppose the architectural design of Skogskyrkogården has reasonable limit to respect nature landscape. Skogskyrkogården is designated as a UNESCO's World Heritage site in 1989.

[Stockholm Trip 2011] Hammarby Sjöstad

When I visited Hammarby Sjöstad, it was entirely covered by snow so that it was hard to look. But, the winter night sight view was also offering unique and enjoynable atmosphere of Stockholm's new morden cityscape.This new urban development in residential area is designed environmentally friendly and enough to attract an urban population. The public space is designed to take advantage of the proximity to the water and street life is developing along the quays. Most uses at ground floor level create public interest.

My small aim of visiting Hammarby Sjöstad was exploring details of landscape design. I focused on how designers considered for materials, delicate shape and elements for designing morden residential landscape.
