Nordic Classicism of 1910–1930

Abstract

The article is devoted to the description of the architectural style of Nordic classicism on the example of the creativity of architects from Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland in the first third of the XX century. The specific features of the new stage in the interpretation of classical laws created a unique language of architectural forms, laying the foundation for the further development of the Scandinavian school. The relationship with the architecture of the Italian Renaissance and, in particular, the degree of influence of A. Palladio's design culture is considered. The style, which has become an interlude between national romanticism and modernism, is considered on actual examples of creative practice, such as architects H. Kampmann, G. Asplund, S. Leverenz, A. Jacobsen, A. Aalto, K. Gottlob, R. Ostberg, and other masters.
