structure; rules of composition Explanation: Depending on the artist's medium, in the first sentence, formgivning might be translated by 'the structure of his pieces' 'organisation of his work' or (to incorporate nytænkning) 'The new concepts X employed (in his paintings) would set new standards....' 'His groundbreaking/innovative approach to construction' In the second sentence, 'rules of composition' is one solution or perhaps 'strict demands of functionalism' |

style Explanation: http://www.tilkka.fi/tilkka/en/ The adopted “white functionalism” style suited the young independent nation because it differed from the military architecture of Finland’s former dominating foreign power, Russia. Just a weak guess. Reference: http://www.squidoo.com/functionalism Reference: http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_461575434_3/canadian_arc... |

fashioning, moulding Explanation: Design is probably the most correct but as that is already used in the sentence, one of the other two is correct as well. Industrial design is a third alternative. |
