Kieran Long, Johan Orn, and Mikael Andersson. Park Books Publishers with ArkDes. 712 pages. August 2021. A four year project, the catalog to the massive exhibit to open Fall 2021 in Stockholm at ArkDes Museum, the exhibit itself designed by London's Caruso St. John Architects. The catalog is structured in three parts - Biography, Photographs and Archive - each thorough, new, intensive and beautifully displayed. There has always been extraordinary interest in Lewerentz's work, from around the world - he is the legend and myth, he is the formidable enigma. It is the Woodland Chapel that designers travel around the world to visit, to hold. It is the flower shop in Malmo, the churches St. Marks and St. Peter. This is the first extensive display of Lewerentz work since the 1980s and shall finally bring the genius of this intensely private architect to a brilliant, open view. Born in 1885, his first major project, with the more voluble Erik Gunnar Asplund, came when he was 30 years old, the Woodland Cemetery, which has since been designated a Unesco World Heritage site. Here, in a difficult year, a catalog of passion and knowledge, of history and presence, of such intent and labor that it is a literal inspiration. And a remarkable honor. UPS Shipping ONLY.

Inspired by Place, created by CLB Architects. 448 pages of full color photographs. foreword by Ian Volner, introduction by Tom Kundig. A tribute to Jackson Hole, Wyoming and Montana, to rocks and stones and trees, to big and to gentle. CLB Architects was founded in 1992, in what was an almost shy ski town, mountain village. Jackson Hole has become the very front edge of rural modernism, the literal icon of residential architecture and design in the mountains, of the mountains.  CLB is right there, a fine and wonderful crew, bent to the task of keeping honor and power and sheer intelligence pointed right at the design of their mountain houses. In a way, their harshest critics are the trees and the land, the mountains and the streams, the wind and snow and the animals. And all of history. And they know it. Ten very powerful wood and stone houses, presented in the fullest color and in the fullest natural context.
