Share: Conversations about Contemporary Architecture

Co-authored and edited by Jonathan Bell.
Share: Conversations about Contemporary Architecture The Nordic Countriesis the first book in a new global series of investigative interviews about the modern architectural process. Initiated and undertaken by the Norway-based Canadian architect Todd Saunders, the Nordic Countries edition features interviews with 30 architectural practices from Finland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Iceland.
With more than 25 years of professional practice behind him, Saunders has always been fascinated by the role of creativity in everyday practice and the potential power alluded to it. In a series of interviews undertaken over the past year, Saunders has queried the changing role of the architect, the challenges of contemporary practice especially the impact of the pandemic and the ways in which architects can achieve the right balance in the relationship between site, client, craft and innovation.
Presented as a series of candid conversations between architect and architect, the book offers insights that go beyond the polished histories that usually make it into print. In particular, the interviews explore the role of challenge and failure, conflict and mistakes, chance and coincidence; all familiar aspects of the architectural process yet elements that tend to be glossed over in conventional monographs.
The Nordic Countries edition will be followed by companion volumes that explore the work of architects in North and South America, central Europe and the Far East.
