Sverre Fehn: Works, Projects, Writings, 1949–1996, by Christian Norberg-Schulz and Gennaro Postiglione (The Monacelli Press 1997), is a comprehensive monograph of the Norwegian architect and his legacy to humanist modernism. Introduction by Francesco Dal Co, renowed Italian historian of architecture.
This comprehensive monograph presents fifty projects from throughout the four decades of Fehn’s career. Featured are such important works as the Archbishopric Museum of Hamar, the Glacier Museum in Fjærland, and the Aukrust Museum in Alvdal, all in Norway. Also included are a number of houses and several competition projects, both built and unbuilt. Each of the works in this volume is illustrated with extensive photography, presentation drawings, and Fehn’s signature sketches. Complementing the architectural projects are essays by Francesco Dal Co, Christian Norberg-Schulz, and Gennaro Postiglione, which present an analytic portrait of the architect’s career, and an anthology of writings by Fehn and critics.
