why this clear connection between the architecture of social democracy and that of fascist italy? I can hardly tell the difference.
for all their very different values, social democracy and fascism in the 20's and 30's shared an image of the state as a kind of parent...in scandinavia architects like asplund and arne jacobsen looked to italy for inspiration, turning their backs on the modernism, they had just embrassed, in favour of an abstract classicism.
the asplund set so far.
more words, yada, yada, yada.

asplund is the father figure of the nordic masters...arne jacobsen followed, alvar aalto reinterpreted, utzon rebelled, lewerentz finally opposed.
asplund himself died too young and thus delivered the ultimate father figure trump: being absent...
