Gert Wingårdh (*1951) is Sweden's leading architect.

His clever and imaginative spatial creations are remarkable in economic as well as ecological and sociological terms. The focus of his designs is always on the needs of the future users. This monograph analyzes the principal aspects of his work in seminal essays by renowned architecture critics and uses text and images to document all the important buildings of his thirty-year career.

Editor Mikael Nanfeldt is curator of the Rhss Museum of Design and Applied Arts in Göteborg, the opening venue for a large exhibition of Wingrdh's work that then moves on to the Swedish Museum of Architecture in Stockholm before going on to tour internationally. Wingrdh's most remarkable projects include prizewinning laboratory buildings in Sweden and the United States, the Swedish embassies in Berlin and Washington, numerous villas, and the Mritzeum, a recently opened visitor center in Waren, Germany. Gert Wingårdh (*1951) ist Schwedens führender Architekt.

Seine klugen, erfindungsreichen rumlichen Gestaltungen sind ebenso in ökonomischer wie kologischer und soziologischer Hinsicht bemerkenswert: immer stehen bei seinem Entwerfen die Bedürfnisse der knftigen Nutzer im Mittelpunkt. Diese Monografie analysiert in grundlegenden Essays renommierter Architekturkritiker die Hauptaspekte seines Wirkens und dokumentiert in Text und Bild alle wichtigen Bauten seiner 30jhrigen Tätigkeit.

Herausgeber Mikael Nanfeldt ist Kurator des Rhss Museum of Design and Applied Arts in Göteborg, Ausgangsort einer grossen Wingårdh-Ausstellung, die nach dem Swedish Museum of Architecture in Stockholm international gezeigt wird. Zu Wingrdhs bemerkenswertesten Projekten gehören unter anderen preisgekrnte Laborbauten in Schweden und den USA, die schwedischen Botschaften in Berlin und Washington, zahlreiche Villen sowie das jngst erffnete Besucherzentrum Waren in Deutschland.
