This book is about “The Northern Factor,” a quality that is common to the younger generation of architects represented in this exhibition. Their designs reflect topical ideas underlying the newest architecture of the northernmost Europe. The participants were selected with special concern for the substantiality of their designs and the distinctiveness of their approaches. The projects on show are buildings and plans in which a strong idea is combined with design, structure, use and the interaction between building and environment. The exhibition shows that all these starting points still essentially define the making of today’s architecture: in real architecture, the basic question is always one of lasting values. Includes color photos, blueprints/sketches, and descriptions.
