Summary:

"Founded by Fredric Benesch and Katarina Lundeberg in 2009, Stockholm-based firm In Praise of Shadows Architecture engages in a wide range of projects of varied scales and typologies. This first monograph on their work features some forty buildings and projects from the years 2009 to 2024. The selection includes small boathouses and garden pavilions, private homes, and housing developments, as well as retail spaces, schools, and library buildings. The ideas and designs of In Praise of Shadows Architecture are remarkable, revealed in buildings that share an elegant signature that manifests itself in the choice and shaping of materials and a focus on the spatial experience. Many of them are timber constructions, as sustainability is a core part of their philosophy, as well as a special interest in Swedish modernist heritage and the famous architectural culture of the Swiss canton of Grisons"-- Provided by publisher.
