"This gorgeous doorstop of a book ... Seductive and serious - for
the most discerning coffee tables." - Edwin Heathcote, Financial
Times. Sigurd Lewerentz (1885-1975) is one of the most highly
revered - and also one of the most heavily mythologised -
protagonists of modern European architecture. Arguably Sweden's
most distinguished modernist, he is more influential to other
architects internationally today than he has been during his
lifetime. Countless architecture lovers from around the world visit
his still existent buildings. Stockholm's woodland cemetery
Skogskyrkogarden, his most significant contribution to landscape
design, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. This authoritative new
monograph on Sigurd Lewerentz is based on extensive research
undertaken at ArkDes, Sweden's national centre for architecture and
design, where his archive and personal library are being kept. It
features a wealth of drawings and sketches, designs for furniture
and interiors, model photographs etc. from his estate, most of
which published here for the first time, as well as with newly
taken photographs of his realised buildings. Essays by leading
experts explore Lewerentz's life and work, his legacy and lasting
significance from today's perspective. This vast, beautifully
designed book offers the most comprehensive survey to date of
Lewerentz's entire achievements in all fields of his manifold work.
