A House for Sigurd Lewerentz

THE HOUSE OF RETICENCE
A HOUSE FOR SIGURD LEWERENTZ


Although Diderot said that "poetry requires something enormous, barbaric and wild", this is not always the case... Giorgio Morandi, for example, in painting, achieved a very profound visual poetry without anything enormous, barbaric and wild... and in architecture there is Sigurd Lewerentz, of course.

And on December 29th, this year, there will be 50 years since he died. And we feel we have to try to pay homage to this remarkable architect, who taught us that the "unknown" can be found in the most common, almost banal ways.
