We celebrate Swedish modernist architect Sigurd Lewerentz

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.

Swedish History Is Evident in These 14 Buildings

© Liam Kearney/Shutterstock.com Sweden’s history as a sovereign state stretches back a thousand years, though its boundaries were often changing until the early 19th century. These 14 buildings provide useful snapshots of how the country’s distant past has influenced its more recent history. Earlier versions of the descriptions of these buildings first appeared in 1001 Buildings You Must See Before You Die , edited by Mark Irving (2016). Writers’ names appear in parentheses. Church of St. Mark St. Mark’s Church, built in 1964 for a new suburban parish in Stockholm, includes a meeting room attached to the church and a row of single-story offices with a low belfry, where the bells are rung by hand in the English manner rather than by an automatic carillon. The little, villagelike complex of buildings is set among birch trees. The covered porch at the entrance to the church is actually a freestanding structure.
