A large part of the photographs presented here were originally commissioned by the architect or client. Tianinen wants to show what is timeless and enduring in architecture, emphasising the importance of roots and eternal values in relation to technology and the pressures of globalism. This book contains both the small and the big. Big impressive sites take turns with small and intimate buildings. The Finnish embassies and other sites abroad complement the image of Finnish architecture. Throughout the book , Tianen’s photographs radiate ease and are uncontrived. Includes plans and elevations.

The Norwegian Architecture Museum and Byggekunst join forces to present fifty new buildings, selected as the best the profession has to offer the public. Therefore, this book serves as a summary presentation of Norwegian contemporary architecture. This project attempts to address questions of a Norwegian common identity, expressed through architecture, as it struggles against the homogenizing forces of globalisation.

The famous Royal Library of Sweden was started during the 1500s with the Royal Collection at the castle Tre Kronor (Three Crowns). This collection grew rapidly during the 1600s due to Queen Christina’s penchant for collecting and by Sweden’s numerous acquisitions during the war. Though many of the most valuable hand-written manuscripts and books were damaged in the fire of 1697, the collections grew again in the 1800s, necessitating the opening of the new library at Humlegården. This technically advanced building was designed by the young architect F.G.A. Dahl. During the 1900s, the size of the collection outgrew the building once again and in 1993 to 1995, two enormous underground storage facilites resolved this problem. This comprehensive and beautiful book documents the complex evolution of this reputable institution while also including detailed information about the wealth of manuscripts, prints, maps, and pictures contained within.
