| Description: | Select Guide Rating Modernism was instrumental in the development of twentieth and twenty-first century Scandinavian architecture. This book covers the romantic and classical architectural foundations of Nordic modernism; the development of Nordic Functionalism; and the maturing and expansion of Nordic modern architecture in the post-war period. 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. |
