PORTFOLIO<br />

gert Wingårdh is not the protagonist of a genuinely Swedish architecture. the outgoing ar-<br />
chitect’s role on both the national and international scenes is too cosmopolitan for that; and<br />
the solutions he develops for a range of construction tasks are too multiform, imaginative, and<br />
surprising. Working without the constraints of a predefined individual style or fixed theoretical<br />
or coceptual orientation, with every new design he succeeds in finding a suitable architectural<br />
language and fitting expression for the task in hand. in the interests of users, he places<br />
emphasis on functional, but also on aesthetic and atmospheric qualities —while ecological<br />
sustainability is also absolutely essential to his buildings. today he is already regarded as the<br />
most successful Swedish architect of all time.<br />
