Boberg was born inFalun. He became one of the most productive and prominent architects ofStockholm around the turn of the 20th century.[2] Among his most famous work is an electrical plant atBjörns Trädgård inStockholm, that was inspired by Middle Eastern architecture. The building was converted in the late nineties and is now theStockholm Mosque. He also designedNordiska Kompaniet, the most prominent department store in Stockholm andRosenbad which today houses the Swedish government chancellery.[3]
Boberg's only international exhibition building that remains in existence today - the 1904 St. Louis World's FairSwedish Pavilion - remains standing inLindsborg, Kansas.[4]
After retiring as an architect in 1915, Boberg and his wife Anna traveled around Sweden with the aim of preserving the cultural heritage through a book of drawings. Over 3,000 sketches were made and around 1,000 drawings were published in the volumeSvenska bilder ("Swedish Images").[5]
