- Hans Westman
Hans Gustaf Westman (
March 9 ,1905 –November 17 ,1991 ) was a Swedish architect mainly active inScania , Sweden's most Southern province. He performed approximately 120 works in the city ofLund inspired by works ofLe Corbusier .Hans Westman practised as an architect in Skåne from 1932 until 1983. His works united regional cultural tradition with
functionalism , attempting to create a new, "Westmannian" regional architecture instead of recreating old models. At the same time, Westman resented functionalists' neglect of thehuman factor that manifested itseld in large scale buildings with routinely applied monotonous patterna. Westman's critique became a driving motive for a humanistic development in architecture of Lund. [Tomas Tagil. Arkitekten Hans Westman, funktionalismen och den regionala särarten.
