This inspiring book showcases the work and words of 67 practitioners from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. Written by David Sokol, Nordic Architects includes a unique question-and-answer format that provides firsthand accounts of the dialogues shaping northern Europe's design community. Readers will engage with the region's enduring legacy of modernist architecture that is sensitive to both site and occupants, as well as the global currents that are roiling designers toward experimental work and provocative thinking.

The volume spans architecture, urban planning, and landscape architecture within the Nordic countries and beyond, and features a generous, clean layout punctuated by stunning photography. In doing so, Nordic Architects re-familiarizes readers with prominent names and introduces them to architects just emerging onto the scene.
