Description

Juvelen area, ”EPA-huset / The EPA dept. store” - Storgatan 32

During the 1960s and 70s, a wave of demolitions swept through the city centers of almost all Swedish towns. The aim was to replace cramped wooden and stone buildings with expanded spaces for housing and commerce. The architecture from this period is often monumental, and many buildings—such as the former EPA department store in Arvika—were built in a style known as Brutalism. Today, these structures are often criticized just as harshly as the older buildings they once replaced. Few consider them beautiful or worth preserving, but it may be wise to reflect carefully so as not to repeat the same mistakes made during previous rounds of urban renewal.
