		Norwegian architect Sverre Fehn's fascination with nature and artefact, humanity and the universe is again evident in his design of a house in Bamle, Norway.
		Sverre Fehn is the Grand Old Man of Norwegian architecture(1): every single building of his comparatively small oeuvre is a reflection on the relationships of humanity to nature or history, of the individual to society.
		Fehn's Villa Busk at Bamle is the most recent in a series of buildings that starts with the notion of providing people with platforms from which to contemplate the natural world.

	Fehn - Bio
		Fehn, at 72, was one of the post World War II generation of architects who emerged from the Architectural School of Oslo, receiving his diploma in 1949.
		In 1991, Fehn was the winner of a competition to build 250 holiday houses of various sizes and two golf courses in the area of Norrkoping, Sweden, an area where at one time there was a small castle with beautiful surroundings called Mauritzberg.
		Fehn's plan conceived a high mirror tower in the center of the exhibit with its sides parallel to the walls of the museum.

	The American-Scandinavian Foundation
		With his design for the Hedmark Museum, Sverre Fehn fully demonstrated his constructive and artistic talent: The ruins of the medieval cathedral are enveloped by a shell that avoids mimicking the architectural language of the past.
		A study in contrasts: Sverre Fehn is both visionary and concrete, avant-garde and tradition-bound, in his handling of space as well as his treatment of materials.
		According to Postiglione, Fehn's concept is an existentialist interpretation of the "intermediate space" between earth and sky, with the line of the horizon and the light of the North as basic elements; he repeats a few simple figures and design methods with the steadfastness of a true artist.

		Sverre Fehn, 72, of Oslo, Norway, has been named the 1997 winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize.

	Villa Busk
		Sverre Fehn's career has spanned five decades, but it was not until he received the 1997 Pritzker Prize that he gained international renown.
		This private residence, built in his native country like much of his work, is typical of his buildings in their relation to site, strong materiality, and blend of modernity and regionalism.
		This corridor also expresses Fehn's use of transparency, as floor-to-ceiling glass creates its facade, though the functional areas of the house have smaller windows relating to their uses (a gesture reminiscent of Mackintosh's Hill House).

	Kommentarer
		Sverre Fehns arkitektur er blitt beskrevet av de fremste teoretikere, slik som i årets praktbok med faglig tyngde fra professor Christian Norberg-Schulz.
		Sverre Fehn snakker ikke om byggekunst i tradisjonelle termer som stil og ismer, men viser hvordan arkitekturens elementer både etterkommer funksjonelle krav og kommuniserer med naturens former.
		Fehn forklarer sin løsning på problemene ved først å gå inn på en funksjonell detalj som dragerne, for så å anskueliggjøre den arkitektoniske ideen om å skape en sirkulasjon av publikum gjennom paviljongen som overensstemmer med parkens natur.

		Le opere di Fehn ripercorrono il senso del forte legame uomo-architettura-natura.
		I grandi spazi non sono semplicemente un mero contenitore in cui inserire l’opera progettata, ma costituiscono un segno tangibile e forte che l’uomo percepisce ed al quale tende ad adattarsi costruendo le sue opere e seguendo un percorso di ricerca in continuo divenire.

		Considered to be one of the most influential Scandinavian architects, Fehn was part of the Oslo school of architects, which brought about the renewal of Norwegian architecture in the context of the Modern Movement.
		Sensitive to his own heritage, yet international in his vision, Fehn’s signature architecture embodies the essence of Nordic tradition and Norwegian building materials -- wood, concrete, stone -- and simultaneously translates the vernacular into a modern architectural vocabulary.
		Also included is a comprehensive bibliography, a complete register of works, and an anthology of Fehn’s own writings, giving insight and clarity to his design methodology and illuminating his individual view of architecture.

		Never dogmatic in his beliefs, Fehn instills a human quality within his buildings that moves beyond the definitive Modern Movement statement.
		Fehn explored the ideas of Japanese architecture in some deceptively simple timber houses which displayed a great sensitivity to the needs of the client and which all show a freedom from typical house plans.
		In his more recent works, he has exhibited a bold understanding of form and materials that has allowed him to continue his search for a new architectural language.

		Their aim was to oppose the New Empiricism dominant in Scandinavia after World War II, and to continue the endeavours of the Modern Movement.
		In the Hedmarksmuseet at Hamar (1973), Fehn harmoniously combined the remains of the medieval building with his own modern addition.
		Fehn’s talent found a particularly convincing expression in the mounting of art exhibitions, including the Norwegian Pavilion at the Brussels Exposition Universelle of 1958 and the Scandinavian Pavilion at the Venice Biennales of 1959 and 1964.
