Arkitektur

De danske landskaber ændrer sig hastigt som konsekvens af jordbrugets udvikling, og fordi bosætning, friluftsliv, turisme, naturforvaltning, klimatilpasning, vandressourceforvaltning har fået stigende betydning. Der er pres på arealanvendelsen og dermed udfordringer for det åbne lands planlægning. Bogen viser, hvordan vi får sat indretningen af fremtidens landskaber på en tværfaglig dagsorden. Den retter sig bredt mod både planlæggere og forvaltere af vore kulturlandskaber og den brede skare af organisationsfolk, ejere og brugere, som til daglig er optaget af landskabernes beskyttelse og benyttelse.

Det nye Århus er årets bog fra Byhistorisk Fond. Det er en bog, der fortæller om mange af de ændringer, der har fundet sted i byen i de sidste ca. 10 år samt om projekter, der er på vej i byen. Det nye Århus er en bog, der både skal være med til at fastholde Århus, sådan som vi har kendt byen, og i billeder og tekst fortælle, hvordan vores by konstant forandres. Det nye Århus viser, at aldrig tidligere har byen ændret karakter så hurtigt og så radikalt. Hvad sker der med byen? Åen åbnes, trafikken omlægges, folk vil bo i byen - helst inden for Ringgaderne. Det medfører øget boligpres: Der etableres nye etager ovenpå ældre boligblokke. Kviste kommer til. Gamle byhuse moderniseres, får nye vinduer og farver. Forretningslivet ændrer karakter. Udvalgsbutikker flytter ud, og nye specialbutikker kommer til. Nye farver, materialer og helt nye arkitektoniske udtryksformer melder sig i bymidten. Og ikke mindst: næsten alle ledige grunde bebygges i disse år med måske ældreboliger, ungdomskollegier eller ejerlejligheder. Gamle industrivirksomheder ophører eller flytter ud. Kontorer, administration, undervisning eller måske EDB-virksomheder rykker ind i de ombyggede faciliteter. Helt nye kvarterer er vokset frem som eksempelvis Scandinavian Center eller Bruuns Galleri sammen med en helt ny teknologiby på Katrinebjerg. Der er også Centralværkstedernes store arealer, der har givet plads ikke blot til administration, men også til sport og forlystelser. Det nye Århus fortæller kort og godt om den by, der er på vej. I talrige billeder har den fanget detaljer, som man almindeligvis ikke lægger mærke til eller måske kun i små glimt. Det nye Århus har ikke blot aflagt besøg i baggårde, sidegader og hovedstrøg, men også været ude i omegnen for at fange indtryk fra de nye erhvervsområder rundt om byen fra Lisbjerg i nord til Hasselager og Højbjerg i syd og Tilst mod vest. Hvis man vil kende sin by, må man derfor læse og se de mange billeder i bogen.

I år afsluttes Carlsbergfondets hidtil mest gennemgribende restaurering af J.C. Jacobsens private villa, væksthuse og have. Det fejres med en rigt illustreret publikation, hvor villaen, dens omgivelser og dens rige historie præsenteres af en række eksperter: husets arkitektur og haveanlæg, restaurering og videnskabshistorie.Hovedkapitlet af Birgitte Possing er en ny fortælling om J.C. og Laura Jacobsen og de værdier, de sammen byggede Carlsberg på. Helt ny læsning af eksisterende litteratur og kilder viser, at Carlsberg ikke blev bygget af én mand, men af det tæt samarbejdende ægtepar J.C. og Laura Jacobsen. Carlsbergs succes som et forbillede i erhverv, videnskab, arkitektur, kunst, kultur og mæcenvirksomhed skyldes dette indbyrdes samarbejde. Possing stiller derfor spørgsmålet, som alle viser sig at have overset: Hvorfor slettede J.C. Jacobsen alle spor efter hustruen Laura? Og hvorfor lod generationer af historikere Laura Jacobsen forsvinde i historiens tåger?

Arkitekten og designeren Bent Karlby (1912-1998) havde et særligt talent. Han formåede at forene sin forkærlighed for dekoration med tidens toneangivende ideal, modernismen. For Karlby var det dekorative indslag selve nerven i enhver formgivning. Det var midlet til at opnå den hygge og det velvære i hjemmet, der for ham var et uomgængeligt krav til boligindretning. Karlby var en alsidig formgiver og havde succes med sine mange produkter. Især hans kunstnertapeter, tekstiler og lamper var populære. Bogen fortæller om en formgiver, der gik sine egne veje og kom til at sætte sit præg på de danske hjem i årene fra slutningen af 1930’erne til omkring 1975.

Hvad er et hus uden de mennesker, der bor i det? Og hvad gør, at nogle mennesker har tabt deres hjerte til og vil gå gennem ild og vand for at bevare og beskytte de huse, som Kulturstyrelsen har fredet?Fotograf Suste Bonnén sætter i denne bog fokus på en række af Danmarks fredede huse og de mennesker, der bor i dem og tager sig af dem.I billeder og tekst fortæller hun, hvordan de passer på, maler, graver, kalker, støtter, river ned, bygger op og skaber historie, mens de tager sig af Danmarks kulturarv.Tag med rundt til Taarnborg i Ribe, salmedigteren Brorsons gamle hjem, til Gotvedskolen på Frederiksberg, hvor kroppen holdes ved lige, og Højerup Gl.

Hun har udgivet en lang række foto- og portrætbøger og haft udstillinger landet over. »Bogen er en meget original måde at fortælle om særlige huse på.

Poetisk, fint indlevet og afvekslende i formen. Bravo!«.Peter Olesen, forfatter og journalist»Aldrig før har man set sammenspillet mellem mennesker og huse på den inspirerende måde«.Suzanne Brøgger, forfatter

"Anarchically hilarious and unexpectedly emotional, Barbie is a magical cinematic confection of absurdity, heart, and Technicolor musicals. Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach have created a deeply personal and idiosyncratic film from the polarizing icon that is the doll Barbie. The movie celebrates the perfection of imperfection, and affirms that everyone, even Allan, is Kenough. In addition to the screenplay, this volume contains an exclusive introduction by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, as well as a gallery of images from the film"--Back cover.

Norge var fra Kalmar-unionens etablering i 1397 og indtil 1814 en del af den danske konges rige – og en vigtig del af Danmarkshistorien. I de godt 400 år under dansk styre blev langt de fleste norske storgårde opbygget – og i bogen beskrives 48 af disse prægtige bygningsværker med udgangspunkt i relationen til deres danske historie.Niels Peter Stilling har i storværket Danmarks Herregårde med 5 bind – hvor alle bind er selvstændige bøger – bevæget sig igennem det danske herregårdslandskab på Sjælland, Fyn og i Jylland samt de gamle danske områder Slesvig-Holsten og Skåne, Halland og Blekinge. Nu udgives sidste bind i værket, og turen går til Norge og storgårdene fra den danske tid.

An Instant New York Times Bestseller“A knockout collection. ... Sharp-edged satire deceptively wrapped like a box of Neuhaus chocolates, Table for Two is a winner.” —The New York Times “Superb ... This may be Towles’ best book yet. Each tale is as satisfying as a master chef’s main course, filled with drama, wit, erudition and, most of all, heart.” —Los Angeles Times   Millions of Amor Towles fans are in for a treat as he shares some of his shorter fiction: six stories based in New York City and a novella set in Golden Age Hollywood. The New York stories, most of which take place around the year 2000, consider the fateful consequences that can spring from brief encounters and the delicate mechanics of compromise that operate at the heart of modern marriages. In Towles’s novel Rules of Civility, the indomitable Evelyn Ross leaves New York City in September 1938 with the intention of returning home to Indiana. But as her train pulls into Chicago, where her parents are waiting, she instead extends her ticket to Los Angeles. Told from seven points of view, “Eve in Hollywood” describes how Eve crafts a new future for herself—and others—in a noirish tale that takes us through the movie sets, bungalows, and dive bars of Los Angeles. Written with his signature wit, humor, and sophistication, Table for Two is another glittering addition to Towles’s canon of stylish and transporting fiction.

I den danske arkitekturhistorie er Kay Fisker (1893-1965) ikke til at komme uden om. Han har både været med til at forme dansk boligarkitektur og velfærdsbyggeri og har gjort os bevidste om, at bygninger skal være i dialog med deres omgivelser.Gennem sit virke byggede Kay Fisker bro mellem traditionerne og det moderne: I sin studietid på Kunstakademiets Arkitektskole var han påvirket både af nationalromantik og nyklassicisme, og senere var han med til at definere den funktionelle tradition i den gryende velfærdsstat. I stedet for revolution var han fortaler for evolution – at arkitekturen skulle udvikle sig gennem en tilpasning til samfundets ønsker og behov, både de funktionelle og de æstetiske.Hans markante murstensbyggerier er stilfærdige og enkle, men på samme tid banebrydende. Det er denne særlige kombination, der gør Kay Fisker til en emblematisk dansk arkitekt.I bogen dykker Martin Søberg ned i Kay Fiskers værker, fra tidlige stationsbygninger på Bornholm over monumentale karrébygninger som Vestersøhus og Dronningegården, sundhedsbyggerier og uddannelsesinstitutioner som Aarhus Universitet og til sidst Det Danske Institut i Rom. Bogen er rigt illustreret med et stort udvalg af originale tegninger og nyoptagne fotografier af Anders Sune Berg.Martin Søberg er mag.art. i kunsthistorie og ph.d. i arkitektur. Han er lektor ved Institut for Bygningskunst og Kultur på Det Kongelige Akademi – Arkitektur, Design, Konservering, hvor han forsker og underviser.
