Johan Bernt Krohg Heiberg (4 September 1909 – 29 September 2001) was a Norwegian architect.[1]
Early and personal life
He was born in Kristiania (now Oslo), Norway. He was the son of barrister Axel Heiberg (1875–1952) and his wife Ragnhild Krohg (1879–1947).[2] He had two brothers: Axel Heiberg jr. (1908–88) and Edvard Heiberg (1911–2000).[3] In 1935, Heiberg married Halldis Rollang (1910–92).
Heiberg's buildings were mostly designed in functionalist style, which he considered "architecture for living people".[2] When it came to politics, Heiberg was a leftist. However, despite his being a supporter of the communist league Mot Dag in the 1930s, Heiberg opposed the May 1968 revolts, stating that he "with shame had to admit, that [he] was tired of the whole thing".[4]
