Säffle Stadshus : En undersökning av hur stadshusfunktionen gestaltats i byggd form i Sveriges yngsta stad.

Sammanfattning: This essay aims to study and analyse the Town Hall of Saffle built in 1954, by the architect Nils Einar Eriksson. For the architectural analysis, the exterior and interior of the building is examined, with the purpose to study its correlation to the historical background of the building category, as well as to the development of functionalism seen in Swedish architecture at the time. The erection of the Town Hall was part of a rapid development of the town Saffle, at a time when it just recently had received town privileges. Therefore, the symbolism seen in the Architecture of the building, relating to its local heritage, is another interesting aspect. Furthermore, the exterior and interior of the Town Hall is distinguished by its many artworks, by several prominent artists, made of exclusive materials. Hence a conclusion made is that the Town Hall can be said to be a Gesamtkunstwerk, “total work of art”, which follows the pattern seen in the Architecture of the City Halls during the 1900s.
