Sigurd Lewerentz Walther and Franz Konig, 2022 S03956 In the 1910s, immediately after completing his studies, the Swedish architect Sigurd Lewerentz made a trip to Italy in order to discover classical architecture. Carrying a camera, the photos he took on that trip, collected in the book Trip to Italy (Cologne: Walther König, 2021), are mythical documents to understand the first works of this great architect. Nonetheless, among the documents that he left to the Museum of Architecture (ArkDes) in Stockholm, we also find photographs of his trips around his native country, in which he focuses his camera on objects of his interest for his mature stage as an architect, such as popular architecture, traditional construction, church interiors, landscapes and cemeteries, keys to understanding the post-classical stage of his career.
