national romanticism
The turn towards national architectural traditions as part of a desire for national or regional identity. This took place at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries in Scandinavia, Catalonia, the UK, and the US and was linked to arts and crafts revivals. Major examples include Martin Nyrop, Copenhagen Town Hall, 1892-1902; Lars Sonck, Tampere Cathedral, Finland, 1899-1907; and Ragnar Ostberg, City Hall, Stockholm, 1909-23. (Conway, 1994)
