Sigurd Lewerentz (1885-1975)
“No es que los arquitectos silenciosos no digan nada, sino que su propia actividad no les permite ser conscientes de estar haciendo y, por consiguiente, no les permite hablar de aquello que cambia la tendencia de la marea de la arquitectura”
Peter Smithson en: Sigurd Lewerentz 1885-1975 The Dilemma of Clasicism, Architectural Association, Londres 1988.

malmö eastern cemetery by Jörn Schiemann
Via Flickr:
malmö eastern cemetery, malmö, sweden, architect: sigurd lewerentz flower kiosk 'While other projects illustrate different stages and aspects of Lewerentz’s career, this project encapsulates his life’s work. He carried out site planning, landscape architecture, and building design from 1916, when he won the design competition, until the early 1970s, a testament to his longevity and versatility. He organized the Malmö Eastern Cemetery around an existing ridge extending through the site, placing a central path along that high ground connecting the eastern and western entrances. Major buildings are placed close to the ridge with graves to the north and south. These include St. Birgitta Chapel from the 1920s in Nordic Classical style, a Functionalist crematorium from the 1930s, the twin chapels of St. Gertrud and St. Knut from the 1940s that demonstrate his mastery of building materials, and the Brutalist Flower Kiosk from the late 1960s. He separated sections of graves by hedges, providing a more intimate scale to the large burial grounds and enclosed the entire site in trees separating it from surrounding urban areas. Even in the early 1970s, by this point involved in the project for over 55 years, he continued on various tasks including updating plans and designing the custodian’s house. Sigurd Lewerentz passed away in 1975, age 90. His final resting place is Malmö Eastern Cemetery."

Reflections 🪞
Composition inspired by Caravaggio’s Narcissus. Bonus material is Lewerentz in vestments (priest variations + deacon), I love liturgical garments and the ritualistic aspects of religious practice.
