Fasadprojektet del 500: kvarteren Lyen, Steningen och Glan

Documenting architectural decorations in Gothenburg, an ongoing project. This episode is from Fredriksdal in Krokslätt. Narration: Welcome to city blocks Lyen, Steningen and Glan. We start with Lyen, at the address Fredriksdalsgatan 5. City block Steningen consists of a single house at Fredriksdalsgatan 7. City block Glan consists of four houses at Kullegatan 8 to 14… … and a housing estate at Glasmästaregatan 14 to 37. It was built in 1965, with recent top-side extensions. Lyen and Steningen, on the other hand, were built in the 1940s to 50s. The area used to belong to the farm Fridkulla… … whose owners didn’t parcel out their land like Fredriksdal and Sofielund to the south. That’s why it now contains mid-century tenements instead of older villas. There are some recent ancillary constructions too. There are some recent ancillary constructions too. Lyen and Steningen are two more lakes in Småland… … while Glan lies in Östergötland. Adjacent to the estate is a parking deck, at Glasmästaregatan 12. We study the outlines of part 501 and the city blocks called Stamsjön et al.
