2055. Sven Markelius' Villa at Kevinge
Dear Eva,
This historic postcard regarding Sven Markelius'
own home at Kevinge was sent either by Mr. or
Mrs. Markelius as a Holidays greetings card.
This villa, built with prefabricated building
elements and the heating system, became highly associated to good craftsmanship, and sensible
and careful adjustments to the site. In all, it was
seen as the perfect example of the best Swedish
post-war empiricist architecture.
Gratefully,
R

Dear Anne,
A vintage view of the Radiohuset's trapezoid concert hall
on Julius Thonsens Gade in Frederiksberg, Copenhagen.
The concert hall was designed to accommodate 1200 people and features an impressive pipe organ built in 1946.
Sincerely,
R

Dear Werner,
As always, thank you so much for your valuable information.
You have no idea how important is that for me. This is a
"little present" for you. My latest built structure in Barranquilla.
The first one of a large complex we could project for this city.
Best regards.

Dear Lin,
Jorn Utzon lived across the street at the time while the
Concert Hall Radiohuset was being completed in 1945.
His friend Tobias Faber was also employed by Lauritzen
to supervising construction. It is not by chance that the shell roof of Sydney Opera House shared some similarities with Lautitzen's Radiohuset.
Best regards.
R
