Broar till kunskap - An exhibition on building bridges in society
Bridges connect people. They take us across geographical barriers, they connect neighbourhoods, districts and continents. At KTH, we have devoted ourselves to the fine art of bridge building for almost 200 years and in all its forms. This was celebrated in an exhibition organised by School of Architecture and the Built Environment.
KTH is home to some of Europe's leading experts in bridge design and construction. We are proud of our scientific environment where we build bridges between disciplines - from construction and architecture to digitalisation, materials technology and the humanities - and with society outside academia. Building bridges is a beautiful thing. This was manifested in an exhibition at KTH in May 2024.
The basis of the exhibition was a photo exhibition by Marianne Ström, art historian and photographer, who has over 6,000 photographs of bridges in her collection. The inauguration of the 2024 Olympics took place along the bridges over the Seine in Paris, where Marianne has lived for many years.
The exhibition also showcased interesting current research and education on the theme of bridge building at KTH, including student work. Lunch time seminars were organised during the exhibition period related freely to the theme: "Bridges to knowledge".
