Publisher's Synopsis
Today's Nordic architecture is functional and attractive in a minimalist way and in balance with nature. At the same time, architects play a role in the emergence of the region's social welfare model, which demands quality in housing and public buildings. With more than 400 illustrations and plans, this book offers a visual introduction to the most relevant architects of the region, showing how Scandinavian architects use their own resources and traditions to generate ideas that currently influence other international firms.
