The quality of light in the higher latitudes has given rise to some
of the most important and influential architecture of the modern
period. In the Scandinavian countries, in particular, the ethereal
nature of light combined with natural resources and highly refined
building techniques, not to mention the stark seasonal contrast
between the scarcity of light in winter and the ever-present glow
of long summer days, have provided the context for architectural
acts of genius.
This book celebrates established icons, newly discovered gems,
and contemporary masterworks that represent the highest expression
of Scandinavian design and response to the environment. Just under
fifty projects are featured in detail, ordered according to the way
in which different light conditions have imparted qualities to the
buildings. Henry Plummer treats his subject with a uniquely
authoritative perspective in which the words resonate with his
artfully taken images.
