Svend Bögh-Andersen Stadsarkitekt i Laholm 1951-1974
Svend Bögh-Andersen – City architect in Laholm
Abstract
Svend Bögh-Andersen was a Danish architect who held the position as city architect in the town Laholm in Halland, south Sweden. Along with many other Danish architects he relocated to Sweden due to a lack of available architectural positions in his native Denmark post World War II. He held the position as city architect between 1951 and 1974 and after that he continued to work with his own firm Arkitektura AB until his death in 1984. In 2011, his personal residence, built in the mid 1950’s, was deemed to be a a building of special architectural or historical interest by the county administrative board, Länsstyrelsen, for Halland. His home, along with many other buildings in Laholm, are excellent examples of architecture in the style of modernism and functionalism. Bögh-Andersen designed new, and also restored, multiple buildings in Sweden. Most of them were in Laholm and it is this specific geographical which I have chosen to focus my attention upon. The purpose of this paper is to examine Svend Bögh-Andersen and his buildings and to provide the reader with both visual and textual examples which fully illustrate his work.
