Grand Tour naar het Noorden : de relaties tussen de Nederlandse en Noordelijke architectuur 1890-1965 in een vergelijkend perspectief

Abstract

The dissertation, Grand Tour naar het Noorden, investigates the relations between Dutch and Nordic architecture during the period 1890-1965 from a comparative perspective. The starting point of the research is that in the reference books on Dutch architecture only limited attention is given to the relations with Scandinavia and Finland. The aim of the study is to draw conclusions about the importance of the reciprocal relations for the architectural history of the Netherlands and that of Scandinavia and Finland. In order to form a balanced opinion about these connections an investigation was also conducted into the relations between Nordic architecture and that of Great Britain and Germany.
