Nordic Modernism: Scandinavian Architecture 1890-2015 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781785002366)

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 20th century, and, finally, the global and local currents found in contemporary Nordic architecture.
