Northern Horizons is a breathtaking journey through the rich and varied history of architecture in Northern Europe exploring design and craft in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
In this book, we travel through the built environments of these eight nations and explore how they emerged based on geography, culture and history. Each chapter details how a country’s architecture evolved from Viking longhouses to medieval castles to Baroque palaces, modernist landmarks, and modern eco architecture.
Grand Renaissance castles of Denmark, national romanticism in Finland, resilient turf houses in Iceland, iconic stave churches in Norway and urban elegance of Sweden. Explore Estonia’s Tallinn, Latvia’s Riga with its Art Nouveau charm, and Lithuania’s Vilnius which takes in the Baroque splendour of its medieval quarter. Thanks to these stories, Northern Horizons presents architectural tradition, innovation, and identity as an intertwined loop.
For history lovers, architects — and anyone enchanted by the cultural landscapes of Northern Europe — Northern Horizons provides a richly illustrated, deeply researched perspective on how architecture helps us reflect on the past even as it propels the needs and possibilities of the future.
