Philip de Lange, en ung murermester, indvandrede til København fra Haag i 1729. Som en datidig gæstearbejder kom han for at deltage i genopbygningen af hovedstaden, der var blevet reduceret med en tredjedel efter den voldsomme brand i 1728. Der var brug for ham.Philip de Lange vendte aldrig tilbage til sit hjemland. Han blev i Danmark, hvor han hurtigt opbyggede en strålende karriere som en af tidens mest benyttede bygmestre. Det lykkedes ham at skabe gode forbindelser til især Søetaten og Admiralitetet, og det er da også hans bygninger på Holmen, som vi kender ham fra: Arsenalet, Hovedvagten, Mastekranen. Men Philip de Lange byggede også Asiatisk Kompagnis imposante hovedkvarter på Christianshavn foruden en stribe byhuse for borgerskabet og en enkelt herregård –Glorup på Fyn.Philip de Lange satte sit tydelige præg på den danske bygningskultur. Han bragte en international arkitektur til hovedstaden, som stadig står den dag i dag og minder os om, at vi er en del af verden.Vera Noldus, f. 1970 i Nederlandene, er uddannet cand.mag. og ph.d. i kulturarvsstudier og arkitekturhistorie fra universiteterne i Amsterdam og Utrecht, suppleret med en efteruddannelse i renovering fra Akademisk Arkitektforening.

Arkitekten M. G. Bindesbøll (1800-1856) er en af de vigtigste skikkelser i dansk arkitekturhistorie og i kraft af Thorvaldsens Museum den internationalt mest kendte danske arkitekt fra det 19. århundrede. Han er frontfigur i overgangen fra klassicisme til historicisme, men repræsenterer samtidig med byggerier som Landbohøjskolen og Lægeforeningens boliger en nøgtern tilgang, der foregriber det 20. århundredes mere pragmatiske arkitektursyn. Bindesbølls samlede værk, der spænder over en række stilarter, peger således i mange retninger. Fælles for projekterne er imidlertid en personlig og uortodoks omgang med historiske stilarter, der er karakteristisk for en romantisk kunstopfattelse, og som resulterer i en arkitektur med en symbolladet, undertiden overraskende moderne, karakter. Forfatter til monografien er lektor, ph.d., arkitekt maa Peter Thule Kristensen, der bl.a. har skrevet en ph.d.-afhandling om romantiske ledemotiver i arkitekturen, og som forsker og underviser i arkitekturhistorie på Kunstakademiets Arkitektskole. Bogen er rigt illustreret med nye fotografiske optagelser af den internationalt anerkendte arkitekt Jens Lindhe. Dertil kommer en lang række af Bindesbølls originaltegninger som ikke tidligere har været offentliggjort. Bogen findes også i en engelsksproget udgave.

I 1850’erne blev kurvemøbler fast interiør på det velhavende borgerskabs kursteder og badehoteller. I løbet af 1900-tallet fandt møblerne vej til danske hjem som arkitekttegnede møbler og indskrev sig i historien om ’Danish Modern’. Og for mange danskere rimer kurvemøbler på de klassiske danske sommerhuse, siden møblerne i 1950’erne blev fast interiør i sommerlandets sorte træhuse. I 1970’erne blev kurvemøbler fortrængt af nye måder at indrette sig på. Stål og plastik fandt vej til danske hjem, og kurvemøblerne rykkede igen ud i havestuen og i de sommerhuse, som i mellemtiden var blevet populære i takt med, at danskerne fik bil og mere fritid. Som denne bog viser, har kurvemøbler i dag fået en renæssance som vintagemøbler og som nyproducerede møbler fra Østen.Birgit Lyngbye Pedersen, født 1961, er designhistoriker, billedredaktør og medforfatter til flere bøger, bl.a. om møbelarkitekten Finn Juhl.

Engang var husene på Mors rødkalkede, på Østbornholm var de gule, mens fugerne på Vestfyen var blå, og bindingsværket på Sjælland var kalket over med hvidt. Hver dansk egn sine farver. Generation efter generation. I dag skeler de færreste til vores kulturhistorie, når de skal male nye eller renovere gamle huse. Men der er mange fordele ved at kende til de klassiske pigmenter og den historiske brug af dem i både land og by. Dels har de klassiske pigmenter gennem 200 år vist sig mere bæredygtige og langtidsholdbare som overfladebehandling på murværk, puds og træ end de fleste moderne malingtyper. Dels stammer de klassiske pigmenter fra naturen. De harmonerer smukt med omgivelsernes farver, med hinanden indbyrdes, og ikke mindst ældes de med ynde. Æstetiske kvaliteter som har stor betydning for husenes og også landskabets fremtræden. Med denne bog i hånden bliver du klædt på til at forholde dig til farven på dit hus ud fra dets alder, arkitektur, materialer og ikke mindst geografiske placering. Men du vil også blive i stand til at arbejde med de klassiske pigmenter i praksis og genetablere den immaterielle kulturhistorie ved netop dit hus. For hvad enten den oprindelige maling er bevaret, ligger skjult under nyere farvelag eller helt er forsvundet, indeholder arbejdet med de klassiske pigmenter et yderst interessant historisk og bæredygtigt potentiale, og et håb om flere huse i farver.
