Celsing och den känsliga brutalismen
2025
Kulturhuset vid Sergels torg i Stockholm, med sin storslagna betongfasad och öppna glasytor, är en av stadens mest igenkännliga byggnader. När Sveriges huvudstad ska moderniseras under efterkrigstiden spelar Peter Celsing en huvudroll. Kulturhuset vid Plattan kom att bli hans livsverk och han räknas idag till de allra största i den svenska arkitekturhistorien. Här får vi berättelsen om den monumentala byggnadens tillkomst och mannen bakom. Vad var hans vision och hur gick det till när huset byggdes? Förutom bebyggelsen i City kom han att också göra stora avtryck i stadens utkant med tunnelbanestationer och kyrkor, allt med en uppenbar konstnärlighet och en fixerad kärlek till tidens material, betong. Svensk dokumentär från 2025 av Oskar Anesten.
