many influences come together in steen eiler rasmussen's postwar essay in urbanism, tingbjerg: his liking of urban spaces, repetition, and anonymous architecture bespeak his origin in nordic neoclassicism; there is the klint school's reactionary insistence on local craft, masonry in this case; also rasmussen's love of all things English shows itself in street scenes resembling at times a garden city and at times a mining town...finally, there is more than a hint of Italian rationalism.
