Between purpose and poetry

The book introduces the Norwegian architect Per Knudsen into the canon of architectural history. Guided by his search for modesty and human dimension, his works have set the tone in contemporary architecture since the 1980s. The book features Knudsen's projects, known for their innovative solutions and environmental thinking, and a great number of his remarkable hand-drawn sketches.

The volume contains contributions by the architectural historian Nina Berre, the architect Jan Støring and the editor Martin Ebert, including an extensive interview with the architect Per Knudsen.
