Stockholm's Day-Care Centres: 1974-1984.
Olsson, Nils-Olof; Sellebjerg, Asa
The intention of this lavishly illustrated brochure is to show how a decade of expansion in day care services in Stockholm was organized and to depict the different types of centers built between 1974 and 1984 in response to a municipal directive to meet the huge need for day care services by building new centers. Introductory material provides a brief historical review of day care in Stockholm, a graphic depiction of the expansion of day care during the 1970s, an overview of how the decision is made to build or convert a building for use as a day care center, and a description of the floor plan for centers. Subsequent material describes newly built, detached, standard-type centers; newly built, detached centers in special environmental conditions; centers adapting premises of existing structures; centers in apartment buildings; and leisure-time centers for before- and after-school care of school-aged children. Additional topics briefly addressed and illustrated include efforts to save energy, multi-purpose civil defense shelters that have been incorporated in standard and special centers, details and decorations of centers, interiors of centers, the integration of centers with the natural environment, and children's games at centers.
