As a group, PAGON went on to become largely overlooked in the history of modern architecture, even though its individual members     which included Sverre Fehn, J  rn Utzon, Arne Korsmo, and Christian Norberg-Schulz     became defining figures in Scandinavian and international modernism.\u003cbr\u003eThis book tells the story of PAGON for the first time, offering an impressive account of the group's projects, buildings, and approach, and demonstrating why PAGON's projects are ripe for reappraisal in the international history of modern architecture. It shows how PAGON'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.\u003cbr\u003ePublished as part of the \u003ci\u003eBloomsbury Studies \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ein Modern Architecture \u003c\/i\u003eseries, 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.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46636898386078,"sku":"UBD-9781350352889","price":49.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781350352889.jpg?v=1774399164","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781350352889","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
