- Hötorget_buildings abstract "The Hötorget buildings (Swedish: Hötorgshusen or Hötorgsskraporna, "-scrapers") are five high-rise office buildings in Stockholm, Sweden. Located between the squares Hötorget and Sergels Torg in the central Norrmalm district, they stand 72 meters tall and are a clearly visible landmark.Though apparently not skyscrapers in an international context, the 19 stories-tall buildings do stand out on the Stockholm skyline, and are therefore called "scrapers". Built 1952-1966, they were labelled the architectonic five "trumpet-blasts" (trumpetstötar) of the renewed city centre by the Municipal commissioner (Borgarråd) Yngve Larsson. The buildings are designed by different architects (from Hötorget and south: David Helldén, Sven Markelius, Anders Tengbom, Lars-Erik Lallerstedt, and Backström and Reinius) and there is thus a slight variation in the curtain wall façades. Curtain walls are rare in Sweden and were here directly inspired by the Lever House by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill in New York City built in 1951-52.Originally, intentions were to let a series of pedestrian bridges connect shops and malls on several levels below and around the buildings, but vandalism and other social problems forced the closure of all levels above ground in the 1970s. During the 1990s, much of the complex at ground-level was rebuilt to allow new indoor shops and new tenants.The buildings first appeared in a city planning proposal by David Helldén in 1946, and in 1951 he, together with Sven Markelius, was commissioned to develop a detailed plan for the surrounding area and the buildings themselves. His first proposal was modified so that all five buildings looked virtually the same, composed of two narrow volumes, one wider facing south and a smaller facing north. More importantly, in this second proposal the system of pedestrian bridges were added. In 1953, a new city plan determined the buildings should be made even taller, 19 stories, while the surrounding building were restricted to two stories, a decision which finally gave the entire neighbourhood its present appearance.According to Professor Thomas Hall, these buildings and the neighbourhood around them are to be regarded as…Hall then notes there are few city centres in Europe more deeply affected by these Modernist ideas than Stockholm, the most notable exceptions being Rotterdam and Coventry, both largely destroyed during World War II. He finally concludes this concept is implemented with more elegance and vigour in Stockholm, but that these urban projects seem to have inspired each other.".
