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.
