Summary:

"Roger Connah's Finland, the first volume in the new 'Modern Architectures in History' series, traces developments in architecture since Finland's independence from Russia in 1917. Finland spans the rationalized developments of the 1930s, the 'organic' and vernacular tendencies of Finnish architecture, the urbanization of the post-war years, the 'golden age' of Finnish Modernism in the 1950s, Postmodernism in the 1970s and '80s, and contemporary practice and debates." --Book Jacket.
