n the Nordic countries, Modernism—in contrast to the countries where it originated, such as Germany or the Soviet Union—is not the result of revolutionary upheaval after the First World War. Instead it is, to a large extent, derived from reception of Modernism on the European continent and its «translation» into the Nordic context. Reception of Neues Bauen and the Bauhaus is particularly significant in Sweden. The resulting «Functionalism» had a long-lasting impact that is virtually unparalleled elsewhere and, as an aesthetic as well as political programme, shapes the architecture, urban planning and design of the Social Democratic welfare state established in the 1930s. Looking northward reveals numerous overlaps, parallels, and differences between closely related yet distinct developments.
