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."

Sigurd Lewerentz’ most noted building came into existence after winning an invited competition in 1956.
Two buildings are located on either side of a courtyard – on one side, the church itself, which is linked to the parish premises ad assembly hall; and on the other the registrar’s offices with a belfry tower and archives.
Dark bricks from Helsingborg are freely laid in running bond – the vertical joints have varying widths which meant that no brick needed to be cut. Lewerentz referred to Persian architecture as a source of inspiration. The church in Bjorkhagen demonstrates how it is possible to be both visionary and well rooted, Lewerentz was already regarded as a phenomenon in Swedish architecture. His integrity and sure handed sense of form leaded to solutions that were several decades before their time. The church was awarded the first Kasper Salin Prize in 1962.
