Dissertation on Dano-Swedish architect Torben Grut (1871-1945), in Swedish with 9-page Summary in English. Illustrated. With a list of projects and index. Publisher's cloth, pictorial dustjacket with insignificant wear. - - - (Abstract:) "Torben Grut was born at Gammalstorp manor on the outskirts of Lidköping on the 2nd of June 1871. His parents was of Danish origin, Danish was spoken at home and the ties to the motherland were strong. Grut's architectural education took place at Tekniska Högskolan in Stockholm between 1890-1894, Kunstakademiets Arkitekturskole in Copenhagen 1894-1895 and Konstakademiens Arkitekturskola in Stockholm 1895-1898, followed by a field trip through Europe in 1902 as a Jenny Lind-scholar. Of all this experiences, it was the time in Copehagen that had the greatest effect on Grut, as it was here that he came into contact with the Danish brick building tradition, its craftsmanship and respect for materials. He argued for these industriously in the journal Arkitektur och dekorativ konst during the first decade of the 20th century, during 1904-1907 as the journal's editor. If the Danish architectural tradition became foundation of Grut's architecture during most of his career, it was his interest in tennis that led to the majority of his assignments. Through tennis, Grut became acquainted with crown prince Gustav (from 1907 Gustav V) and the circle of sportsmen associated with him. These contacts lead to a contract for Solliden palace, 1903-1906, and Stockholm Stadium, 1909-1912. Grut was also contracted to design several tennis halls, both in Sweden and abroad, and he became a leading arcitect in this branch during the first three decades of the 20th century due to a successive development of the functional aspects of tennis halls. Grut's architecture from this period consists of a straggling diversity of styles. Initially it included remnants of the wooden constructions of the late 19th century, but also ancient Nordic ideals, medival influences as well as influences from Sweden's time of great power and traces of the period of liberty's rococo style. To all these influences were added elements of Swedish manor house architecture and of Swedish vernacular culture in general, as well as 15th century northern Italian styles, elements from classical antiquity, Arts and Crafts and Jugendstil in different variations. During the following decade, Grut's architecture began to show a more unified idiom with a simple and restrained architecture, regular facades, steeply pitched hip-roofs and curved rafter feet in connection to Danish brick building tradition. These elements appeared whatever the type or location of the building. With this it would seem as if Grut had reached the goal that he set himself early in his career, but under the influence of a new, younger generation of architects his architecture began to develop in a new direction, towards an architecture with references to neoclassicism. This new development emanated in a lighter and brighter arcitecture, facades of smooth plaster or wooden panelling with frequent allusions to neo-classicism through the use of shallow saddle-back roofs, tympanum shaped gables and various related ornaments. Grut's career ended with a nervous breakdown brought about by the Kreuger crash of 1932. After his collapse he retired to a life among his relatives in Denmark where he died on Christmas Eve 1945". - - - (Gothenburg studies in art and architecture, 8.)
