As a group, \u003cem\u003ePAGON\u003c\/em\u003e went on to become largely overlooked in the history of modern architecture, even though its individual members – which included Sverre Fehn, Jørn Utzon, Arne Korsmo, and Christian Norberg-Schulz – became defining figures in Scandinavian and international modernism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book tells the story of \u003cem\u003ePAGON\u003c\/em\u003e for the first time, offering an impressive account of the group’s projects, buildings, and approach, and demonstrating why \u003cem\u003ePAGON\u003c\/em\u003e’s projects are ripe for reappraisal in the international history of modern architecture. It shows how \u003cem\u003ePAGON\u003c\/em\u003e’s architecture constitutes a unique continuity between the Scandinavian functionalism of the late 1930s and the modern movement in the US, and an important transitional stage before the emergence of the better-known neo-avant-garde groups within CIAM and Team 10.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublished as part of the \u003cem\u003eBloomsbury Studies in Modern Architecture\u003c\/em\u003e series, which brings to light the work of significant yet overlooked modernist architects, this book fills a gap in our understanding of mid-century modern architecture and highlights the internationally diverse nature of the modern movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47455668863212,"sku":"9781350352889","price":54.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/81QYS2shvdL._SL1500.jpg?v=1774791315","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/pagon-by-espen-johnsen-9781350352889","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
