St Mark's Church in Bjoerkhagen, one of Stockholm's southern
districts, is one of Sigurd Lewerentz's (1885-1975) key designs.
But unlike Lewerentz's other famous church, St Peter's in Klippan,
no book has been published to date that constitutes a fitting
tribute to this masterpiece of brick brutalism. This opulent new
building monograph now fills this gap. Some 300 new colour
photographs and especially drawn explanatory plans, alongside
essays by distinguished authorities on Lewerentz's architecture,
turn this book into a visual feast. It demonstrates the exquisitely
atmospheric St Mark's Church both as a standalone object and in the
context of its surrounding urban landscape. Moreover, it picks out
many details, such as the floor coverings, furnishings, lamps,
banisters, the altar, and other liturgical features. The essays
explore aspects of materiality and topics such as the church's
special acoustics and atmosphere in an attempt to reveal the secret
of Sigurd Lewerentz's church designs.
