This catalogue publishes works exhibited in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The authors seek to identify how contemporary architecture shapes the identity of Northern European — Nordic countries, Baltic states, and northwest Russia. Descriptions of the architects' purpose together with plans and photos of exteriors and interiors reveal much about the various kinds of building — college, school, hospital; villa, house, residential quarter; bank, hotel, boathouse, cafe — and thecurrent styles of northern European architects.
