The prevailing image of Sigurd Lewerentz is that of the “silent architect”: opaque, reclusive, and reluctant to reveal the motivations behind his work. Through still images, film and hours of recorded interviews, the architect Bernt Nyberg presents us with a different view — that of an architect on site, captured in a dialogue among the workers, the materials and the contingencies of a design as it unfolds in space and time. Through the curious and experimental lens of a younger contemporary — an architect obsessed with film, and operating at the cutting edge of its technology — Lewerentz’s discourse is shown to be one of praxis rather than theory, intensely interested in the consequences of construction. Nyberg was Lewerentz’s first biographer, and he was aiming to make a documentary film and book. However, these plans were cut short by Nyberg’s untimely death
