Svandammsparken Nynäshamn. En kulturhistorisk värdering

Abstract

This bachelor thesis have emerged in the context of the garden Crafts and Design Program, Department of Conservation at the University of Gothenburg. The essay will primarily deal with a cultural valuation of the Swan Pond Park (Svandammsparken) in the city of Nynäshamn. The National Heritage Board (Riksantikvarieämbetet) is the authority responsible for cultural heritage issues, which is why I assume Axel Unnerbäcks elaborated model. Moreover, studies are made on empirically compiled historical materials of the park itself, and value for value are critically analyzed. By studying old maps and historical material during the 1900s era of the area, conclusions and scientific assessments have been implemented. The results show that the park contains high cultural heritage values and should be treated accordingly in an adequate way.
