"- The awarding in April of the Pritzker Prize to the Norwegian Sverre Fehn began a streak of Scandinavian festivities that was prologued in 1996 by Copenhagen's turn as European culture capital and is to culminate in 1998 with Stockholm's and the centenary of the Finnish master Alvar Aalto. The architect of the Glacier Museum and of the Nordic Pavilion in Venice was feted for a lyrical and tenacious career based on his devotion to construction and respect for landscape: two Nordic virtues not too evident in some of the recent emblematic buildings of Scandinavia, such as the Museum of Modern Art of the young Soren Robert Lund in Copenhagen or the Museum of Contemporary Art of the American Steven Holl in Helsinki, but overwhelmingly patent in the Museum of Modern Art and Architecture by Rafael Moneo in Stockholm, perhaps because the architect recalled his training with the Dane Jørn Utzon. In any case the coming Aaltian commemoration, with its numerous exhibitions and tributes, will reseal the connection with the best of that fertile Scandinavian tradition.

"- La concesión en abril del premio Pritzker al noruego Sverre Fehn inició un periodo de festejos escandinavos que tuvieron un prólogo en 1996 con la capitalidad europea de la cultura en Copenhague, y que culminarán en 1998 con la capitalidad cultural de Estocolmo y con el centenario del gran maestro finlandés Alvar Aalto. En el arquitecto del pabellón nórdico en Venecia y del Museo de los Glaciares se premia una trayectoria lírica y tenaz que se apoya en la devoción por la construcción y el respeto por el paisaje: dos virtudes tradicionales de los países nórdicos que no parecen evidentes en algunos de los más recientes edificios emblemáticos escandinavos, del Museo de Arte Moderno del jovencísimo Soren Robert Lund en Copenhague al de Arte Contemporáneo del norteamericano Steven Holl en Helsinki, pero que en compensación exhibe sobradamente el Museo de Arte Moderno y Arquitectura de Rafael Moneo en Estocolmo, acaso porque el español recuerda todavía su formación con el danés Jørn Utzon. En todo caso, la ya inmediata conmemoración aaltiana, esmaltada de innumerables exposiciones y homenajes, permitirá restablecer la conexión con lo mejor de esa fértil tradición escandinava.
