This waiting room was designed in 1940 — and the bench literally grows out of the wall.

Located at Trons Kapell in Stockholm’s Skogskyrkogården, the space was designed by Swedish architect Gunnar Asplund as part of his final major work.

The curved wooden seating flows directly from the wall paneling, creating an unusually soft and intimate waiting space within the otherwise restrained modernist interior.

BREAKING NEWS!!

GOODBYE TO ARCHITECTURE AS WE KNOW IT!

Phill Bernstein former vice president of Autodesk and dean of the Faculty of Architecture at Yale University, predicts through statistical analysis by Goldman Sachs, that in the medium term, the most achieved by Artificial Intelligence will be architecture and engineering.

It is estimated that by the year 2030 37% of professionals in architecture will be achieved by artificial intelligence, which means being “replaced” by independent machines that will do the work done by these professionals.

However, he mentions that the solution is to work together with artificial intelligence to co-create and thus achieve final solutions that AI alone cannot provide.

Because of this, some universities in Mexico such as the University Panamericana de Aguascalientes are already modifying study plans to use AI as an indispensable tool for the professional training of architects.
