A superb work combining photography and illustrations to present Scandinavian architecture, arguably the most dynamic and important architecture of the twentieth century, which we find in our daily lives, down to the smallest everyday object and spatial design. An ode to arguably the most important architectural movement of the twentieth century. A comprehensive survey of Nordic architecture with over 500 illustrations that provide a visual explanation of the architecture designed by Scandinavian architects. With examples of public buildings, commercial buildings, and individual dwellings, this magnificent volume shows how Scandinavian architects used their own resources and traditions, while adapting styles from medieval Europe, the Renaissance, the Baroque, and the modern eras to generate ideas that would have major international consequences on the history of architecture. This book demonstrates the inventiveness of Scandinavian architects, the most famous of which is surely Alvar Aalto, followed by Arne Jacobsen. It is also worth noting that the Danes, and more generally Scandinavian designers, are the inventors of modern design, a functionalist design that developed in the mid-twentieth century, influenced by the German Bauhaus, which we find today in all of our everyday objects. This unique look at the new generation of Scandinavian architects will be an infinitely rich resource for all those passionate about architecture and interior design.
