Taking as a starting point a brief analysis of the features and the most common figures found in Sverre Fehn's sketches, the main ideas that underpin his thoughts are revealed. His interest in the art of former Scandinavians and in primitive living, represented by the cave, and his personal interpretation of the horizon, are the basis of reflections that crystallize in a way of making architecture far from any mimicry with inherited forms.
