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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book tells the story of PAGON for the first time, offering a definitive 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished as part of the \u003ci\u003eBloomsbury Studies in Modern Architecture \u003c\/i\u003eseries, which brings to light the work of significant yet overlooked modernist architects, this bookfills a gap in our understanding of mid-century modern architecture and highlights the internationally diverse nature of the modern movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Espen Johnsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350067989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350067981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Visual Arts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Espen Johnsen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071384940799,"sku":"9781350067981","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_864297fc-1306-4ba6-8588-1e078de844ef.jpg?v=1685435780","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pagon-espen-johnsen-9781350067981","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
