At the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth, the Norwegians had considerable activity in herring and whaling off Iceland, and they brought with them new trends and cultural connections in various fields, including architecture. The book OF NORWEGIAN ROOTS focuses specifically on the places in Iceland that bear the most resemblance to Norwegian-style houses, Reykjavík, Seyðisfjörður, Akureyri, Siglufjörður and Ísafjörður, and the authors of the chapters are all professionals, living in the relevant areas.
