 Modernity in Sweden 1900-1960
Whereas in other countries modernist architecture typically was the style employed for more exclusive building projects, in Sweden the so-called functionalist style was used for public schools, housing, baths and civic offices, and thus came to be identified strongly with the welfare state and the social democracy movement.
Other utopian architectural projects, such as Sven Markelius's Collective House (Stockholm, 1935) and the apartment hotels that followed were intended as solutions to the problems faced by working women with families.
The 1930s utopia of modern man in modern society led to the postwar development of the welfare state.
