Biography

Ljungqvist was born in Stockholm, Sweden. He graduated from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in 1946 and from the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in 1950. He founded the architectural firm Höjer-Ljungqvist Arkitektkontor in 1952 together with Jon Höjer (1922- 2014). In 1992, Höjer and Ljungqvist donated their architectural form to the employees who changed its name to Origo Architects. [2][3]

His architecture is characterised by complete complexes or whole city blocks with associated equipment such as malls, schools and libraries. Among his work was the re-design of Hästskopalatset, a combined commercial and office property in the Hästskon district in central Stockholm which underwent extensive rebuilding between 1971-1972.

gollark: Bedrock Edition is waaay better for that, but also wrecks moddability and has many other antifeatures.
gollark: It seems to be the case that Java Edition is just horribly technically unsound.
gollark: I mostly agree. Not sure whether it's just being used to Minecraft, not having any of the various available UI enhancement or whatever mods, or just it being badly designed, but it does seem worse somehow.
gollark: Anyone interested in Mine*test*, an open-source Minecraftish game? I could probably host a server for that. I have to admit it's definitely not as polished, but there seem to be some good mods around for it.https://www.minetest.net/
