Scandinavian architecture of the 1930s represents a particularly interesting phenomenon in the Modern Movement in Europe. The decade was a period of intense experimentation. The human qualities of living were coherently encompassed in a wide spectrum of creative activities that ranged from the invention of a single piece of furniture to the evaluation of the relationship with landscape. This issue has two aims: to provide general guidelines (with a focus on single countries) for an understanding of the theoretical debate and certain recurrent motifs such as low-cost housing, recreational places, places of worship, design and landscape architecture, and to focus on particularly significant single designers and works.
