Norwegian architect known for his designs of private houses and museums that integrated modernism with traditional vernacular architecture. He considered the process of building “an attack by our culture on nature” and stated that it was his goal “to make a building that will make people more aware ...of the beauty of the setting, and when looking at the building in the setting, a hope for a new consciousness to see the beauty there as well.”
