Architect: Sigurd Lewerentz (1885-1975),
Clock Tower
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.

Sigurd Lewerentz – one of Sweden's most internationally acclaimed architects.
Architect Sigurd Lewerentz was 77 years old when he was asked to create St. Petri Church. One may think it a bold decision to call on a man of that age for such a demanding task. But age turned out to be no disadvantage.
On the contrary. He had, behind him, many years of collected experience, which he could now draw on. Full of life, knowledgeable, original, independent of all architectural traditions and styles, with the understanding of what is essentially christian, he set about his task.
He put all his artistic passion into this task. What he created is not the product of a drawing-board.
The placing of every brick is determined directly by himself on the spot or indirectly by the instructions he gave to the artisans.
Much in the building can seem to be improvised, but actually everything is carefully thought out.
Before the altar, pulpit and bishop-chair were built up, models were made and thoroughly tested.
The watchful eye of the architect constantly followed the work on the site.
The building-committee therefore decided in full confidence to leave the building of the church entirely in his hands and not call in an inspector.
Reticent, almost timid, the architect went about his work, often reserved towards the many architects and others who turned up while work was going on.
He was, however, open-hearted and easy-going towards the master-builder Helge Lindgren and the workmen on the site.
A more and more close relationship developed between them as the work progressed.
At the consecration of the church Bishop Martin Lindström made the observation:
"A renowned architect has with all his being built here a hallowed room of magestic weight"

Malmö & Klippan
Lewerentz’ flower shop kiosk in Malmo’s cemetry and church in Klippan both exemplify a detail beyond that of the initial monoliths of concrete and brick respectively. His church at Klippan plays with idea of what is and is not load bearing. This is expressed through decorative brickwork set against monolithic stretcher bond brick. Both being set into a large mortar joint giving the appearance of the bricks floating within a larger whole. This idea plays a key role in the expression of the tectonics of the scheme. The wall with the set back door plays with ideas of the thickness of a wall. The idea of a skin which is peeled away to reveal a deep core. This links in with the ideas of safety, comfort and shelter. Ideas which are all important to instill when entering a building such as a church.
Realising the importance of a window being set either flush to the internal or external wall, also the difference of having no window frame as such but merely clamping the glazing unit to the wall.
The flower shop kiosk plays with ideas of a concrete monolith, with the door not reaching down to the ground, suggesting that this door is merely an aperture rather than defining the buildings connection to the ground. The windows aswell, on the surface of the wall, suggest a wall which is not breached, as opposed to setting them back which would suggest that the wall is punctured. The cantilever of the roof is held up by battons which stretch back up the roof, issues of ‘self support’ as opposed to convention.
