Sweden is considered a world leader in gender equality according to the Global Gender Gap Report. Both women and men are entitled to parental leave, and women's salaries are about 93% of men's. Equality in Sweden covers ensuring equal opportunities regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or age through anti-discrimination legislation and opposition to xenophobic political parties and racist demonstrations.
The document discusses the history of skyscrapers. It defines a skyscraper as a building of at least 20 stories tall, with the CN Tower in Toronto being the tallest at 1815 feet. The document notes that taller buildings require thicker walls to support the structure, but the invention of steel frame construction eliminated the need for thick walls in most cases. Instead, the combination of concrete and a steel skeleton creates a strong load-bearing structure that can support a building's weight and withstand wind loads.
Sweden has one of the highest standards of living in the world due to benefits provided to workers. An average electrician in Sweden would have a three room apartment in the city, a summer cottage, a biofuel car, yearly vacations abroad, and be able to support two children in daycare while both parents work full time. Workers receive a minimum of five weeks paid vacation annually along with paid sick leave and parental leave, including 480 days of paid parental leave that can be split between parents. Swedish law also helps families migrate by allowing family members to receive work and residence permits for the duration of their stay.
This document discusses energy conservation strategies for building orientation in Stockholm, Sweden. It notes that Stockholm is strategically located for transporting salt and iron. It also recommends orienting buildings with large north and south facades to maximize daylight exposure to reduce lighting loads. Additionally, it suggests orienting the southern exposure and long facades to capture solar heat gain and breezes to decrease heating and cooling loads.
Stockholm underwent significant architectural changes in the mid-20th century as large parts of the 19th century Klara quarter were demolished to make way for new construction projects like the Stockholm underground, known as the world's longest work of art. Many Swedish architects left their mark on the underground's stations throughout the 40s and 70s extensions. By the 90s, Stockholm's architecture had returned to a Swedish Modern Style characterized by functionalist designs.
1) Gamla Stan, Stockholm's Old Town, features its oldest building, Briger Jarl Tower from the 13th century, and was well preserved during the world wars.
2) In the late 18th century, the Gustavian style embodied King Gustaf III's cultural interests in a golden age of architecture and design using light colors and pine.
3) At the turn of the 20th century, rapid population growth led to an expedited building era featuring nationalism, classicism, and Stockholm City Hall designed by Ragnar Ostberg.
