Through photographs by the renowned Jiri Havran, this book presents the entire sequence of buildings awarded Norway’s most prestigious architectural prize each year from 1904 until now. This pictorial cavalcade is divided into ten-year periods, which are introduced by text that situates each building in its proper historical and social context. A wonderful overview of Norway’s national architectural heritage - and a testament to Norway’s respect for the Houen prize’s original tenet: “to promote a better and purer architecture.” Exquisite full page color photographs on equally high quality paper. Includes plans and/or elevations with each building. Includes contemporary architects like Sverre Fehn, Henning Larsen, Lund & Slaatto and many, many more. Complete list of awards indicating the building/s, the location, the year, the architect and selected bibliographies.
