Nordic Light: Modern Scandinavian Architecture Henry Plummer
Publisher: Thames & Hudson

Streaming Museum presents Nordic Outbreak, an exhibition of over 30 moving image artworks by established and emerging contemporary Nordic artists curated for public space. The design for Maaemo is inspired by Scandinavian nature and architecture. Organized Nordic Outbreak will be viewed as large projections and on screens in public spaces, on its website, and at partnering arts, cultural and architectural centers. Whitewashed walls to keep the interior bright during the dark days of winter as well as a splash of bright color to bring attention to an important architectural element are rooted in Scandinavian design. Future trends with their origins in Swedish design tradition will be featured in an exhibition courtesy of Materialbiblioteket at Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair on 5-9 February. The Best from Nordic traditions. With a relaxed, yet stylish interior strategy for the Bella Sky Hotel's rooms, reception and conference rooms, 3XNs design aims were to give guests the impression of arriving at a tasteful Scandinavian home.

A symposium and exhibition at Scandinavia House with Nordic artists, theorists, and curators will take place on April 6.

Nordic Light's interiors are all 21st-century modern minimalism, Scandinavian style, set apart from countless otherwise similar hotels by an inordinate attention to lighting; the “light architect,” Kai Piippo, has earned his fee several times over. Weather Architecture acknowledges the creative stimulus of inclement weather in the emblematic Rousham Garden by architect William Kent (1685-1748), whereby Jonathan Hill portrays the sense of the picturesque and rural idyll that pervades it. The design reflects on lines, shapes, rhythm and light creating a poetic, Nordic modernism.
