Born in Kongsberg, Norway, he completed his architectural studies at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design in 1949. Fehn gained international acclaim for projects such as the Norwegian Pavilion at the 1958 Brussels World's Fair and the Nordic Pavilion at the 1962 Venice Biennale. His design of the Hedmark Museum in Hamar, Norway, exemplifies his ability to blend contemporary architecture with historical contexts. In recognition of his contributions to architecture, Fehn was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1997.
