About Lewerentz - “ one could say he was an iconoclast, subversive even, marching to his own drum, not caring or emulating too much of his era’s diverse trends.” He was called a “ silent architect”, his spoken word mirrored in brevity by his indifference to leaving behind any written word. The famous silence of Lewerentz, so revered, is here the prompt for many to write intimately of him, of his work. This is a diverse book of honor, to honor. 18 pieces, many color photos, letters, essays, each as personal and intimate as the close corner image of the brick detail - some, “Notes from my meeting with Sigurd”, some with the caution “ I have been to a very small number of buildings that are almost perfect”. Some from the foreman, one from the builder, one from the priest. Photos from the very first day of St. Mark’s, before any people. A gently, emotionally, passionately and intentionally created moment, to celebrate Lewerentz well, to celebrate his work, his intent and his silence.
