Modernism was instrumental in the development of twentieth and
twenty-first century Scandinavian architecture, for it captured a
progressive, urbane character that was inextricably associated with,
and embraced the social programmes of the Nordic welfare states.
Recognized internationally for its sensitivity and responsiveness to
place and locale, and its thoughtful use of materials and refined
detailing, Nordic architecture continues to evolve and explore its
modernist roots. This new book covers the romantic and classical
architectural foundations of Nordic modernism; the development of
Nordic Functionalism; the maturing and expansion of Nordic modern
architecture in the post-war period; international influences on
Scandinavian modernism at the end of the twentieth century and
finally, the global and local currents found in contemporary Nordic
architecture. Superbly illustrated with 100 colour images.
