A little-known facet of Sigurd Lewerentz’s work is the collection of photographs he took during his various travels throughout Sweden over the course of his life. While his famous photographs from his travels in Italy sought to capture the essence of ruins and fragments of classical architecture, in his native country, he turned his attention to landscapes and gardens, cemeteries, and vernacular architecture—ranging from isolated buildings to entire clusters—as well as church interiors, domestic spaces, walls, fences, and gates. Everything was captured through the lens of an architect, rather than an ethnographer.

Timber construction and its benefits is moving into the BIM space for even more sustainable uses. A new BIM-integrated web application, called Carbon Fixers (which expands on its Offsite Wood plug-in for Revit), pre-calculates the carbon-benefit of choosing timber and other bio-sourced materials in early design.
Carbon Fixers lets you rapidly build a scenario using only basic architectural program information, such as the type, size, and number of stories in the building. For advanced users, preferences can be saved for firms with a regional expert dashboard, side-by-side comparisons and detailed assemblies.
