"Fresher" documents recent work by Gert Wingårdh & his office Wingårdhs. The book spans 7 years, 50 projects, 287 people, 296,000 working hours, and includes a variety of photos, drawings, models, and visualizations that have not been shown before.
Projects include: Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Liljevalchs Konsthall, Helsingborg Water Tower, Basaren residential block, and Malmö Saluhall, among others. In this comprehensive interview book, architecture critic Mark Isitt has asked Wingårdh and his employees to tell their stories. Not seldom do they stand in healthy contrast to those of the leading man. Fresher gives a unique look into a firm that aims to dominate for another 40 years.
While Gert Wingårdh, five-time winner of the Kasper Salin Prize, is still the core and key figure of the office and constantly on the hunt for the unexpected, the interview book Fresher conveys the image of a tailor-made architectural collective that keeps gaining in strength and whose multeity serves as a unifying force.
Wingårdhs work with architecture, urban planning, interiors and landscaping. From our offices in Gothenburg, Stockholm and Malmö, we are active in projects all around the world.
