a villa for an unspecified site
by mikael askergren ©

mikael askergren's contrubution to the 1985 scandinavian architecture student competition palladio i norden ("palladio in scandinavia"). mikael askergren's design was awarded first prize.

the designs participating in the competition were expected to be many things: contemporary, affordable for "ordinary" people, suitable for mass production/prefabrication, and - last, but not least (yes, this last part of the competition brief was indeed very typical of the "postmodern" 1980ies:) - the competition designs should in one way or other interpret the famous 16th century classicist palaces and villas of the equally famous italian 16th century classicist architect andrea palladio.

published in the swedish review of architecture arkitektur, stockholm, sweden, 8-1985.

also published in the architectural anthology palladio idag ("palladio today"), editors: ekelund/nordlund/widbom, liber förlag, stockholm, sweden, 1985.
