DAM Architectural Book Award 2010 Winner

Steven Holl has set up a documentation centre for the Norwegian author Knut Hamsun (1859 –1952) on Hamarøy, in northern Norway. This unconventional building reflects the author's no less unusual personality. The centre in the barren landscape of Hamarøy, where Hamsun lived and worked, the silence and solitude, challenge visitors to involve themselves with him and his work.
The book records the connection between Hamsun, the architecture and the landscape. Photographer Iwan Baan relates the landscape and the building to each other, and historical documents illustrate Hamsun's contradictory life and influential work, et al. the novel Hunger (1890), with which Hamsun achieved his fame. In 1920 the poet was awarded with the Nobel Prize for Literature.

DAM Architectural Book Award 2010の受賞者であるSteven Hollは、ノルウェイ北部のHamarøyにノルウェイ人作家Knut Hamsun (1859 –1952)の資料館を建設した。型にはまらない建築物は、言うまでもなくきわだった作家の人格を反映している。不毛の土地Hamarøyの景色のなかにある資料館は、Hamsunが暮らし制作の拠点とした場所であるが、静けさと孤独が訪問者をHamsunとその作品の世界へと引き込む。
本書は、Hamsunの建築物と景色との結びつきを綴ったものである。写真家Iwan Baanは、景色と建築物のそれぞれについて述べ、歴史的な資料にはHamsunの矛盾した生活と影響を与えた仕事などが描かれている。"Hunger" (1890)という小説は、Hamsunがその名を有名にした作品で、1920年にノーベル文学賞を受賞した。
