Ian Holcroft Author

Todd Saunders

Norway-based Canadian architect Todd Saunders has a unique understanding of Nordic landscapes. His architecture, set in some of the most remote locations on earth, splices modern sculptural forms with a deep-rooted respect for nature. Rather than imposing themselves upon the environment and coast, Saunders’s buildings seek a sensitive accommodation within the topography, among the icy flora, fauna and treescapes of the landscapes they inhabit. In addition to practice, Saunders is a visiting professor at Yale University, Connecticut, USA.

Jonathan Bell is a London-based writer who specialises in architecture and transport design. He co-wrote Todd Saunders’ first monograph in 2012, and his recent books include 21st Century House and The New Modern House. He is a regular contributor to many international lifestyle and design magazines, including Wallpaper* magazine.
