Architect: Sigurd Lewerentz (1885-1975),
Built in 1966
The Architect
The architect, Doctor of Technology, Sigurd Lewerentz (1885-1975) was 77 years old when he was asked to create St. Petri church. He had behind him, in addition to studies at Chalmers’ university, many years of collected experience, which he could now draw on. Full of life, knowledgeable, independent of all architectural traditions and styles he set about his task. He concentrated all his artistic passion on this task. What he created is not a product of a drawing-board. The placing of every brick is determined directly by him on the spot or indirectly by the instructions he gave to the artisans. The watchful eye of the architect constantly followed the work on the site.
Facts
The church was consecrated on 27th of November, 1966 by Bishop Martin Lindström. The nave is built according to “circumstantes”, the idea of the central place of worship. The area is quadratic, 18 x 18 meter. The height is 6 meter in the east and 5 meter in the west. The nave rests on and is built around a cross of iron (the T-cross or the Antonius-cross). The cross should be essential in the preaching and activity of the church as well as in human life. The ceiling is formed as archs and is a symbol of human spirit life as a waving movement. The building has no arched windows. The window-glasses are directly mounted on the outside of the wall with brackets, which gives a feeling of missing windows. All electric wiring and water pipes are mounted directly on the walls – nothing should be hidden into the church. The middle aisle corresponds to the holy way (via sacra) of old days which leads to the Holy Communion table. The walls are built up with the dark-brown brick from Helsingborg, which is made by hand craft as well as machine-made. No bricks are adjusted to suit – man is good enough to be used by God even if she is “odd, rough or not adjusted to suit”. The bricks are partly picked by the architect Lewerentz himself from a scrap-yard. Even human beings, who by others are considered as “scrap”, are suitable for the Lord. The daylight and the illumination are sparse. Too much natural light disturbs the full feeling according to the architect. Therefore the lamps must be lightened during service. Architect Lewerentz wanted to create a soft and warm surrounding with quiet and devotion. While sitting for a while in the church the details are coming forward. The chairs are from Denmark and originally designed for the Grundtvig-church (1940) in Copenhagen. Portable chairs in churches are an old tradition and give the opportunity to rearrange the furniture.

In the forest of Pålsjö (Pålsjö skog) you will find Skogspaviljongen or the Pålsjö pavilion as it is now called. It was built as a summer restaurant in 1914 and the architect was Sigurd Lewerentz. It is partially torn down, but there is still the 12-corner rotunda in English red, with a high gray roof crowned by a copper hood.
The building is currently classified as an especially valuable building in the conservation program (in Swedish) for the city of Helsingborg with support by the Planning and Building Act; Plan- och bygglag (1987:10) 3:12§ (in Swedish).

The Eastern Cemetery (Östra kyrkogården) is famous for its design and beauty far beyond Swedens borders. The Cemetery was created by the architect Sigurd Lewerentz, who from 1916 until his death in 1975 was engaged in the cemetery's various stages of development. After a contest Lewerentz was chosen to design the cemetery and the related buildings.
The Eastern Cemetery has a chapel and crematorium facility, which also bears the architect Sigurd Lewerentz signature. The plant was built during the war years in the early 1940s and was completed on 23 October 1943. Here are three chapels - Saint Gertrude, St. Knut's and the Chapel of Hope, with pleasing works of art by artists including Sven Erixon, Otte Sköld and Robert Nilsson. The Crematorium is no longer in use.

Sigurd Olson, in The Singing Wilderness:
"Only fools run rapids, say the Indians, but I know this: as long as there are young men with the light of adventure in their eyes and a touch of wildness in their souls, rapids will be run. And when I hear tales of smashed canoes and lives as well, though I join in the condemnation of the fools who take such chances, deep in my heart I understand them and bid them bon voyage. I have seen what happens when food and equipment are lost far from civilization and I know what it takes to traverse wilderness where there are no trails but the waterways themselves. The elements of chance and danger are wonderful and frightening to experience and, though I bemoan the recklessness of youth, I wonder what the world would be like without it. I know it is wrong, but I am for the spirit which makes the young men do the things they do. I am for the glory that they know."

Client: Malmö stad
Already in the 1920s had Sigurd Lewerentz received an investigation assignment on a new theater in Malmö and then proposed a building in a distinctly classical style. In a general architectural competition in 1933, Lewerentz received first prize. His radical functionalist proposal with an almost industrial nature was not realized. Instead he got to cooperate with the second place winners, David Helldén and Erik Lallerstedt.
The completed building was considered to be northern Europe's most modern theater at the time, and a veritable modernist monument. It’s a fusion of the three architects wills; Lewerentz primarily worked with the technically advanced stage and auditorium, not least from an acoustic point of view. The foyer, administration facilities and the restaurant were mainly formed by Helldén and Lallerstedt. The foyer is considered to be beautiful, with its open surfaces and marble staircases, and it is adorned with a number of works of art by artists such as Carl Milles and Isaac Grünewald.

"Santa María la Real" is one of the highlights for all people following the "Camino Aragonés" - since about 800 years. The facade is impressing it may take hours, to find out the many details. I stayed an extra day, when I had reached the town, just to see the shadows movig over the carvings.
A church did exist here already in 1131 next to the bridge crossing the river Aragon. It was transferred by Alfonso I to the "Knights Hospitaller" (aka "Order of Saint John", later "Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta"). The apse is the oldest part of the structure and probably dates back to that time.
The nave and the breathtaking Southern Portal of Santa María la Real were created late 12th/13th century. I have uploaded a "total overview" earlier and will now focus on some details.
This is (a part) of the left triangel next to the semicircular archivolts.
For me, this looks rather chaotic. It is full of enigmatic "stories".
The strangest is connected to the Norse/Germanic mythology, the Edda. The person killing a dragon with a sword is Sigurd (aka Siegfried), below him is his stepfather Reginn, the mythical blacksmith, probably just reforging the sword Gram. Even the deer below may play a role in here, as the sleeping valkyrie Brynhild is been awakend by Sigurd, after he killed the dragon and Reginn (they were brothers)..... No! The large bowing giant may well be the sleeping valkyrie Brynhild. Seen here is the scene, when Sigurd is waking her up..

No bricks are adjusted to suit – man is good enough to be used by God even if she is “odd, rough or not adjusted to suit”. The bricks are partly picked by the architect Lewerentz himself from a scrap-yard. Even human beings, who by others are considered as “scrap”, are suitable for the Lord. The daylight and the illumination are sparse. Too much natural light disturbs the full feeling according to the architect. Therefore the lamps must be lightened during service. Architect Lewerentz wanted to create a soft and warm surrounding with quiet and devotion. While sitting for a while in the church the details are coming forward. The chairs are from Denmark and originally designed for the Grundtvig-church (1940) in Copenhagen. Portable chairs in churches are an old tradition and give the opportunity to rearrange the furniture.

Stockholms Roddförening is a rowing club on Gärdet next to Djurgårdsbrunn in Stockholm. The Club was founded in April 8, 1880. The current boathouse, designed by architect Sigurd Lewerentz was inaugurated July 13, 1913. Timber from the Stockholm Olympics arena were used to build the boathouse. At the ceiling in the boat room you still can see the seat numbers in the wood.
The house has over the years been carefully refurbished and modernized. It looks the same on both the outside and inside as when it was new. Most of the benches and tables in the upstairs rooms belong to the original interior from 1913. The house is considered to have great historical value.

World Heritage
In 1994, the Woodland Cemetery (Skogskyrkogården) was inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List of cultural and natural heritage of outstanding universal value. UNESCO’s decision was based on Skogskyrkogården’s qualities as a prominent example of architecture and a twentieth-century cultural landscape being formed into a cemetery. The inscription ensures the preservation and protection of Skogskyrkogården for future generations.
The old Sugurd Anderson School in De Smett, South Dakota, is on the grounds of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Memorial Site. Wilder, of "Little House on the Prairie" fame was born and reared in De Smet, the "Little Town on the Prairie." The restored school is now on the grounds of the Laura Ingles Wilder Memorial Site and is used as the Discover Laura Learning Center.
The school is named for Siguard Anderson who once taught here in Kingsbury County, South Dakota. Anderson was an immigrant from Norway who became Attorney General and then Governor of South Dakota.
