In a basement in Lund, there lies an unknown treasure. Film reels and audio tapes recorded by architect Bernt Nyberg with Lewerentz during his final years are stored here. Sigurd Lewerentz is among the most renowned Swedish architects, inspiring architects worldwide. Lewerentz did not want to be filmed or interviewed, preferring that his buildings speak for themselves. His unique solutions were decades ahead of their time.
He delved deeply into his architecture, was known for inspecting his construction sites down to the smallest detail, and focused on materials and durability. He emphasised craftsmanship over prefabrication. At a time when prefab construction and fast-growing cities have become the norm, we dive into Lewerentz’s universe and become inspired by a high degree of architectural detail, immersion, and an architect who might be even more influential today than in his own time.
