Produktbeschreibung

Kay Fisker (1893-1965) is considered one of the most influential Danish architects of the twentieth century, and yet there has existed until now no in-depth English-language study of his works and writing. Published as part of the Bloomsbury Studies in Modern Architecture series, this book examines Fisker's key projects - from his early railways stations and innovative housing projects to the Danish Academy in Rome - and analyses his work as a historian and writer.
