A joint Swedish-Norwegian publication from the two major architectural publishers, this is yet another probe into the beauty and enigma of a specifically Nordic “sense” in design and ideas about modernity after 1900. Articles also address the still unsolved issue of dividing lines between nationalism and internationalism, and of separate or communial aesthetic and political identities between the Nordic countries in the 20th century. Contains very good archival photographs of World Exhibitions, as the study focuses on what was ‘seen from the outside’ at these events.
