Who we are

Acarta is a living field guide to architecture and public art. We build it together with a network of architects, conservators, and photographers, with the ambition to gather places, stories, opinion, and articles about the built world in one place.

Why we exist

Much of what's written and documented about buildings stays scattered across books, reports, and individual websites, and never reaches a wider audience. We want to make architecture legible and engaging for more people.

About Acarta

Acarta is a Swedish field guide to architecture and public art. At launch the service holds 10,000+ places across 250 cities and short profiles of 5,500 architects, artists, and landscape architects. The ambition is to also make space for opinion and articles, together with a network of architects, conservators, and photographers, and to make architecture accessible to more people. Acarta is built in Stockholm by siblings Adam and Evelina Strandberg, operated by Väder AB, and launches for iPhone, Android, and the web in summer 2026.
