The life lessons of Swedish modernist architect Sigurd Lewerentz The life lessons of Swedish modernist architect Sigurd Lewerentz Stockholm’s ArkDes museum celebrates Sigurd Lewerentz’s architecture for body and soul with a publication and exhibition, ‘Sigurd Lewerentz: Architect of Death and Life’  The enigmatic exterior of St Peter’s church, Klippan, completed in 1966 Those unfamiliar with Sigurd Lewerentz may be intrigued by how he is characterised in books and articles. Despite being one of Sweden’s most admired modernist architects, he is regularly described as ‘enigmatic’, ‘mythical’ or even ‘obscure’. Born in Bjärtrå, northern Sweden, in 1885, Lewerentz was indeed a quiet figure; he published almost nothing about his built projects, and would reject invitation after invitation to speak at international events – a stark contrast to his publicity-savvier contemporaries, such as architect Erik Gunnar Asplund.
