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.
