2053. Norsk Bremuseum Fjaerland

 

Dear Nuccio,

"The constructions made by animals are rationalistic.

They are precise and unchanged, the same every day

and every year. (...) If architecture is made completely 

rational, people become animals." (Sverre Fehn)

Respectfully,

Dear Enric,

"Architecture is not just a question of rationalism, but an
irrational idea that needs to be supported by a rational
structure" (Sverre Fehn)

Best,

203. Pavillon de la Norvege, Bruxelles 1958

Dear Arne,

To me this is one of the buildings that better represents
the principle of "Thought of Construction": The Brussels
exhibition pavilion (1958) by Sverre Fehn.
Concrete walls and lime-tree roof are the main elements
(structural posts are made of Plexiglas to avoid shades)
all worked out in such a way that the light can filter
beautifully into the rooms.

Sincerely
R
