Markuskyrkan, Skarpnacks forsamling,
Bjorkhagen, Stockholm

Dear Sven,
Lewerentz talked about ancient Persian masonry
walls when asked for the design process of his
famous Church of St. Mark. Indeed the archaic
and closed walls of the building stand against the
light birch grove on the site and continue inside
the building with wonderful masonry vaults ceilings.
St. Mark's was completed in 1960 when he was 75
and it was the building that consolidated his position
as the living master amongst Swedish architects.
Best regards.
R
