2024 art summary, or: a year of Tallum 🌲

Sigurd Lewerentz and Gunnar Asplund, this one’s for you — your brilliant collaboration, biblical architecture, and doomed (b)romance

Last week we visited Aldo Rossi's surreal San Cataldo Cemetery in Modena. Here's a thread of photos of his unfinished postmodern masterpiece (THREAD)

Flowers for the architects, Norway edition: 1/2 💐

Never been SO indecisive in a flower shop. In the end I opted for pretty but pricier; they deserve it. I gave Fehn my pics of the Nordic pavilion, Storhamarlåven, and Bøler library, which I hope he liked.

Happy Summerson day, he’d find me too trivial to talk to and I’d still say thank you; reposting this oldie from when I drew Sir John S(ummerson) and Sir John S(oane)

New illustration – Bastion House and The Museum of London designed by Powell & Moya. Extremely complex site bordered by Grade I ancient ruins, Grade II Ironmorger Hall and busy roads. Locals and C20 Society are fighting to save the buildings for adaptive reuse.

My pilgrimage around Erling Viksjø’s Oslo is now complete. On Sundays we go to church, so let’s start with Bakkehaugen Church (1959), which I’ve dreamed of for months 🧵:

I have run off to Oslo to get away from life for a weekend. In the subzero morning sun, the only right thing to do is to see good architecture. Greetings from young Sverre Fehn and Geir Grung; Økernhjemmet (1955) with its striking horizontality atop a hill, oddly reminiscent of the Nordic Pavilion:

Georgian Bath? How about Brutalist Bath!

Sign the petition to save the fabulous little Church of the Good Shepherd in Batheaston (1966-67) from demolition, and allow the local community to buy it instead.

My diary reminded me that it’s Carl Nyrén’s birthday today, so I guess here’s his official introduction to my repertoire? 🍰🎡
