Sigurd Lewerentz, Architect
Sigurd Lewerentz (1885–1975) was educated as a mechanical engineer at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, but it was an architectural apprenticeship in Munich that set him on his career path―a path that led him to be revered as one of Sweden’s most eminent architects.
Sigurd Lewerentz, Architect is a high-quality reprint of the first monograph ever written on Lewerentz and his work. Originally published in 1985 in Swedish, this legendary book tells the story of his life and presents his entire body of work through a combination of texts, photographs, drawings, and plans. This edition sets Lewerentz in a contemporary context through a concluding essay on his work and legacy by the German-Chinese architect, critic, and professor Wilfried Wang.

The Book That Instigates One of the Most Enigmatic Figures in Architecture-
This is an elegant book; tall, slender, but not thin, it has weight, like its contents. The format of the book is poetic with zen modesty, not light but it elevates you, like the work of this quiet master.
Below are images I took of the book for my Amazon review, please see link below and let me know if they are helpful to you (by pressing yes or no button), thank you for your comment and support:
