Compiled and edited by Agneta Eriksson and Weronika Ronnefalk, this book is an extensive survey into the 30 projects Bengt Edman completed.
Incredibly pleased to be able to offer this extraordinary volume on the award-winning architect Bengt Edman (1921-2000) – also known as the first brutalist in Sweden
From Peter Smithson's preface:
… Of course our life experience is dissimilar, Bengt had as a precurser Sigurd Lewerence – in Alison's phrase 'one of the silent architects' – yet I detect in Bengt no wish for continuous editing of work where construction is in hand.
From the publisher:
A Complete Work about a strong wayward architect Bengt Edman 1921-2000.The Swedish Architect is called the first Brutalist
It happened then and it still happens today. Codes in our tradition and surroundings did not match what Bengt Edman created It was absolutely no Swedish red cottage this time. It was something new and different.
Ca 200 photos and more than 200 plans and drawings. Complete survey of works with text by the architect himself and others; preface by Peter Smithson and introduction by Giancarlo De Carlo. All text and captions bilingual in Swedish and English.
