Sverre Fehn and the City: Rethinking Architecture's Urban Premises

This book examines ten select projects to illuminate Fehn's approach to the city, the embodiment of that thinking in his designs, and the broader lessons those efforts offer for better understanding the relationship between architecture and urban life.

Stephen M. Anderson is an associate professor in Architecture and Environmental Design in the Tyler School of Art and Architecture, Temple University, Philadelphia, where he teaches architectural theory and graduate design.
