Harald Thorbjørn Sund (February 16, 1876 – April 9, 1940) was a Norwegian architect. Sund was born in Gildeskål in Nordland County.〔''Norsk kunstnerleksikon'', vol. 4 : Sp-Å, pp. 112–113.〕〔''Årsberetning. Foreningen til norske fortidsminnesmerkers bevaring''. 1941. Oslo: Grøndahl & Søns, pp. 3 ff.〕 He established himself as an architect in Kristiania after studying in Trondheim and 16 years of study and work in England. In collaboration with the architect and head of planning in Aker, August Nielsen, he designed a number of churches and other buildings throughout Norway during the first years of the 1900s. Among other things, he was invited to draw up plans for district housing and he won the competition for the Fredrikstad library, beating out over 70 other participants. Harald Sund is considered Northern Norway's foremost church and church restoration architect of the 1920s and 1930s. In his report to the Ministry of Church and Education on the inauguration of Rotsund Chapel in 1932, Bishop Eivind Berggrav enthusiastically wrote the following: "The architect Sund has here once again created a church that gives him much honor and the church great joy."〔(Arkitekturguide for Nord-Norge og Svalbard: Rotsund kirke )〕 He married the English painter Renée Emilee Pauline Alvarez, formerly married Finch, in London in 1913. Sund died in Oslo.〔〔 ==Selected works== *Fredrikstad library (Fredrikstad, 1922, protected) *Kroer Church (Ås, 1925) *Majorstuen Church (Oslo, 1926/1933) *Melbu Church (Melbu, 1938) *Rotsund Chapel (Nordreisa, 1932) *Sigerfjord Church (Sigerfjord, 1933) *Skiptvet Church (Skiptvet, 1937) *St. Dominic Church and Monastery (Oslo, 1927) *Svanvik Church (Sør-Varanger, 1934) *Svolvær Church (Vågan, 1934) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harald Sund」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
