Although arguably the most successful Swedish architect, Gert Wingardh is far from the architype of a typical Swedish architect. His work both in Sweden and internationally, reflects a distinct cosmopolitan influence and the solutions he develops for a range of construction tasks are similarly multiform. With each new design he succeeds in finding a suitable architectural language, but always with an emphasis on functionality, sustainability and aesthetic and atmospheric qualities. This monograph represents a comprehensive assessment of his work and ideas.
