PAGON
Bloomsbury Visual Arts (Verlag)
978-1-350-06798-1 (ISBN)
This book tells the story of PAGON for the first time, offering an impressive account of the group’s projects, buildings, and approach, and demonstrating why PAGON’s projects are ripe for reappraisal in the international history of modern architecture. It shows how PAGON’s architecture constitutes a unique continuity between the Scandinavian functionalism of the late 1930s and the modern movement in the
US, and an important transitional stage before the emergence of the better-known neo-avant-garde
groups within CIAM and Team 10.
Published as part of the Bloomsbury Studies in Modern Architecture series, which brings to light the work of significant yet overlooked modernist architects, this book fills a gap in our understanding of mid-century modern architecture and highlights the internationally diverse nature of the modern movement.
Espen Johnsen is Professor in Art History, in the Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas, at the University of Oslo, Norway.
