Initiated and undertaken by the Norway-based Canadian architect Todd Saunders, the Nordic Countries edition features interviews with 30 architectural practices from Finland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Iceland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith more than 25 years of professional practice behind him, Saunders has always been fascinated by the role of creativity in everyday practice and the potential power it alludes to. In a series of interviews undertaken over the past year, Saunders has queried the changing role of the architect, the challenges of contemporary practice—especially the impact of the pandemic—and the ways in which architects can achieve the right balance in the relationship between site, client, craft, and innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePresented as a series of candid conversations between architect and architect, the book offers insights that go beyond the polished histories that usually make it into print.
