Slottsskogen, Göteborg, 1963, by Per Lindfors.
Previously, a cafe-restaurant transformed into an art school a few years ago. The renovation took no account of the building's original design, wich also included an independent external staircase that was removed. Sorry....not my kind of "art school" ! Why cover the external red brick walls with white paint ?
