Sverre Fehn was born in Kongsberg, Norway, in 1924. He received his architectural education shortly after WWII in Oslo, and quickly became the leading Norwegian architect of his generation.

At the age of 34 Fehn gained international recognition for his design of the Norwegian Pavilion at the 1958 Brussels World Exhibition. In the 1960s he produced two works that have remained highlights in his career: the Nordic Pavilion at the Venice Biennale and the Hedmark Museum in Hamar, Norway.

The architect’s highest international honour came in 1997, when he was awarded both the Pritzker Architecture Prize and the Heinrich Tessenow Gold Medal .
