Wavy walls

Those “wavy walls” are known as crinkle crankle walls, but also called serpentine, ribbon, or sinusoidal walls. They’re a classic example of how geometry can be used to outsmart the physical limitations of building materials.

The shape provides built-in structural stability, fewer bricks are used than are needed for a straight wall – which is the main reason they are built that way.

Saint Claire church

The Church of Saint Clare is located in central Stockholm, just 100 m from Stockholm’s central railway & subway stations. It’s a Lutheran church, built in 1572-1590 on the site of an older church, dating back to the 13th century.

The tower rises majestically above the neighbourhood with its Gothic & distinctive silhouette. It’s just one step into a quiet, sacred atmosphere in the middle of the city noise.
