From his main office in Gothenburg, Sweden's second city, Gert Wingårdh has spawned a practice that has brought him national success. He has completed two embassy buildings for the Swedish foreign office in Washington DC and Berlin and two major museums. Timothy Tore Hebb describes the work of an architect whose designs are able to be both responsive to the natural environment and ingenious in their juxtapositions and contrasts.
