The format, text and selection of photographs and illustrations are done entirely by Carl Nyrén, to present an unadulterated expression of his simplistic style and design process. The combination of angles and circlular forms in Nyren’s buildings are unique and set a certain style. Nyren’s buildings are simultaneously traditional and modern, regional and universal, somewhere between the emotional and the intellectual.

Carl Nyrén (born 1917) is a product of the Nordic cultural tradition, and especially of the egalitarian Swedish welfare society of solidarity and compassion, the People’s Home. At the same time his architecture echoes international architectural currents, it reflects the long history of Swedish architecture extending from early archaic constructions to timeless and anonymous vernacular buildings, and from the spirited lightness of Gustavian and Nordic classicisms to the soft Swedish version of functionalism, “The Swedish Grace”. This book is filled with beautiful photographic illustrations and descriptive text telling of the achievements of Nyrén.

A very important book for every library including culture at its highest level.
