Arkitekter og arkitektfirmaer

I 2018 ville den verdenskendte arkitekt Jørn Utzon være fyldt 100 år, og det markerer Strandberg Publishing med en smuk og nytænkende bog henvendt til børn om den store danske kulturpersonlighed. Med Jørn Utzon som guide inviteres børn – og deres forældre – til at gå på opdagelse i arkitektens legende og eksperimenterende univers og til selv at prøve kræfter med at formgive og bygge. Jørn Utzon er et oplagt valg som guide for børn ind i arkitekturens verden, fordi hans arbejdsmetode minder så meget om børns tilgang til verden og deres måde at opleve og tilegne sig erfaringer på: åbenhed over for nye og på papiret tilsyneladende umulige idéer, udforskning og eksperimenterne og ikke mindst nysgerrighed. Gennem 15 udvalgte værker formidles arkitekturen og dens fagtermer og redskaber samt Utzons inspirationskilder. Til hvert kapitel er knyttet letforståelige vejledninger til bygge- og konstruktionsopgaver, som børnene enten alene eller sammen med deres forældre kan bruge til at udforske Utzons univers med.

Lauritz de Thurah (1706-1759) var en af Danmarks mest betydningsfulde arkitekter i barokken. Han står bag flere markante bygningsværker, heriblandt Eremitageslottet, Det Gule Palæ i Roskilde, Gammel Holtegaard og Vor Frelsers Kirkes spir samt om- og tilbygninger af f.eks. Ledreborg, Frederiksborg Slot, Børglum Kloster og det nu nedrevne sommerslot Hirschholm – også kaldet Nordens Versailles.Monografiens omdrejningspunkt er arkitekt, dr.phil. Peter Thule Kristensens præsentation af Thurahs sansemættede og sammensatte arkitektur. De øvrige kapitler, skrevet af fageksperterne Else Marie Bukdahl, Martin Søberg, Thomas Lyngby, Natalie Patricia Körner, Sanne Maekelberg og Nina Ventzel Riis, beskriver Thurahs rolle som toneangivende arkitekturhistoriker, topograf, embedsmand, militærmand og en fornyer af arkitekturopfattelsen i enevældens Danmark. Bogens talrige nye fotos er optaget af Anders Sune Berg.Bogen belyser barokken i bredere forstand ved at beskæftige sig med epokens hofkultur, havekunst og kirkearkitektur. Endelig fortælles om bygningernes brug i dag, hvor de danner ramme om en ny tids brugere og behov.

Sommerlandets arkitektur. Drømmen om det gode liv handler om sommerarkitekturens historie fra Frederik 2.s lille lystslot Lundehave ved Kronborg til årtusindskiftets primitive overnatningssteder i naturen. Udviklingen afspejler forskellige perioders og samfundsgruppers forestillinger om "det gode liv". Bogen undersøger deres baggrund og formidling i debatter, bøger og tidsskrifter. Den uddyber den historiske udvikling i forskellige dele af landet og dokumenterer de mange typer af bygninger og bebyggelser - fra landsteder, sommervillaer og typehuse til feriebyer, kolonihaver og campingpladser. I sommerlandet findes væsentlig kulturarv.Den øgede fritid har skabt nye bebyggelser og landskaber. Her er der historisk og nutidigt opstået anderledes livsformer med friere kropskultur i mere naturlige omgivelser. Som en form for nære utopier er der muligheder for at nærme sig det gode liv, om ikke hele livet, så dog i ”den frie tid” om sommeren. Sommerlivet kan føre til gentagelse af hverdagen, men det kan også opleves som frirum for sociale, arkitektoniske og indretningsmæssige eksperimenter, som kan pege frem mod mere uformelle livsformer og en lettere og lysere boligkultur og større bæredygtighed.Margrethe Floryan skriver om 1700-tallets forfinede salonkultur på Sophienholm og andre landsteder og Peter Thule Kristensen om borgerskabets både rekreative og sundhedsorienterede ferieformer i Cottageparken ved Klampenborg fra midten af 1800-tallet. Nan Dahlkild uddyber den fortsatte udvikling af borgerskabets landliggerkultur med store farverige sommervillaer og hoteller omkring 1900, der blev efterfulgt af demokratisering af friluftslivet i form af kolonihaver, vandrebevægelse og Dansk Folkeferies feriebyer. Vibeke Andersson Møller fokuserer på modernismens feriehuse. Efter 2. Verdenskrig har sommerlandet fået sine egne typefritidshuse og sommerlige parcelhuskvarterer, som beskrives af Jørgen Hegner Christiansen og Nan Dahlkild.Flemming Skude formidler årtusindskiftets arkitektoniske eksperimenter.Bogen og udstillingen Sommerlandets arkitektur.

Bogen er skrevet af den kendte arkitekt og kritiker Christoffer Harlang og beskriver Nils Fagerholts (f. 1933) bidrag til dansk arkitektur og design fra omkring 1960 til 2005. Niels Fagerholt er ikke blandt de mest kendte designere og arkitekter i Danmark, men en lang række prisbelønnede mesterværker har placeret ham blandt eliten inden for dansk design.Præcision, poesi og mådehold er nøglebegreber i Fagerholts arbejde, og hans sans for stil og rum vil gøre bogen til en aha-oplevelse for dens læsere.Alt materiale i bogen bærer præg af Fagerholts egne krav til kvalitet og viser en formgivningsevne, der er usædvanlig i sine strenge krav til proportionering og materialeæstetik.Bogen præsenterer med ledsagelse af Christoffer Harlangs anerkendende pen, en række originale tegninger udført af Fagerholt suppleret med gengivelse af samtidige farve- og sort-hvid-optagelser af udførte og byggede værker.

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.

What is required to renew and articulate public spaces? The need for, and demands of, public spaces are highly specific to the local spatial and social conditions under which people live. Action at neighborhood level is crucial, and must involve interacting and co-creating with residents to discover their needs. At the start of the pandemic, superwien was commissioned to develop innovative designs for urban public spaces in three different cities: Dhaka (Bangladesh), Maputo (Mozambique), and Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic). The main objective of this applied research was to strengthen the capacity of local governments to undertake participatory urban design processes. This book calls upon architects and urbanists to develop place-based solutions in challenging circumstances.

DIALOG MED SAMTIDEN er det første samlede værk om arkitekten Martin Nyrop (1849-1921). Nyrop er især kendt for at have tegnet Københavns Rådhus, men han arbejdede med alle arkitekturens genrer, fra slotte, hospitaler og kirker til skoler, villaer, husmandshuse og pladser, og desuden alle former for inventar.Nyrops tanker om inddragelse af natur i byen, brug af danske materialer, lysets betydning, byggeri med hensyn til miljøet og genbrug er også i dag yderst aktuelle. Bogen er rigt illustreret med tegninger og fotos, hvoraf en stor del er nye optagelser, bl.a. af ikke tidligere publicerede bygningsværker.Dr.phil. Mirjam Gelfer-Jørgensen har været lektor ved Københavns Universitet, overbibliotekar og souschef på Kunstindustrimuseet, nu Danmarks Designmuseum, og er medlem af Videnskabernes Selskab. Hun har udgivet talrige bøger og artikler om dansk kunsthåndværk, design og arkitektur, bl.a. Japanisme på dansk. Kunst og design 1870-2010, Thorvald Bindesbøll – stærk form og frit spil og senest Kunstarternes forbrødring. Skønvirke – en kalejdoskopisk periode.

"'I was a writer, but not the writer I needed to be. For that I had to become a different person,' Robert Glèuck, widely acclaimed as a novelist and as a theorist of 'the new narrative,' recently told the Paris Review, in which a section of About Ed has appeared. About Ed is Glèuck's portrait of the artist Ed Aulerich-Sugai, his sometime lover, met in the seventies in San Francisco, when gay life emerged unabashedly from the closet. 'I wanted to find in Ed something to latch on to that was outside my egotism and fear, my threadbare relation to the world-a leap through Ed into lyric time,' Glèuck has said, and in this book that is both 'a novel and my version of an AIDS memoir' he wanted to capture the full range of his feelings for Ed: 'estranged from Ed, bored by him, moved by him.' It is a book about the life they lived together-art and writing and family and sex and death-and, composed over many decades, it is also a book about how the past continues to change in memory and to charge the present. 'What is the right question to ask about a life?' Glèuck asks, describing About Ed as a 'collaborative project,' since 'Ed helped me write this book.' Ed gave him 'notes to fashion a chapter about the day he was diagnosed so I could describe his experience from the inside,' and 'after Ed died, Daniel, Ed's partner, lent me Ed's dream journals.... He started writing them in 1970, the year that we met. We both used his journals, not as puzzles to solve the truth of a self but as a commons producing images that we harvested for paintings and poems. And fifty years later, there I was reading and copying out and running away from his dreams. Are they a condensed version of Ed? Shorthand? Distillation? Is he knowable and unknowable in the same degree sleeping or waking?' About Ed is a challenging and beautiful book by one of America's finest and most adventurous writers"

Philip Guston paintings?particularly the liberated and instinctual forms of his late work?continue to exert a powerful influence on younger generations of contemporary painters. His daughter, Musa Mayer, manages the estate of Philip Guston and is president of The Guston Foundation. She has curated exhibitions of Guston's work and written books including the memoir Night Studio, first published by Alfred A. Knopf in 1988. In 2022 the Metropolitan Museum of Art announced that more than two hundred Guston works from her collection would be gifted to the museum.

Lauritz de Thurah (1706–1759) was one of Denmark’s most significant architects of the Baroque period. He created several important buildings, including the Hermitage Hunting Lodge, the Royal Palace in Roskilde, Gammel Holtegaard and the famous spire of the Church of Our Saviour in Copenhagen, and masterminded conversions and extensions of properties such as Ledreborg, Frederiksborg Castle, Børglum Kloster and the now demolished summer residence Hirschholm Palace – widely known as the Versailles of the North.The mainstay of this monograph is architect dr.phil. Peter Thule Kristensen’s presentation of Thurah’s rich and complex architecture. The other chapters, written by experts Else Marie Bukdahl, Martin Søberg, Thomas Lyngby, Natalie Patricia Körner, Sanne Maekelberg and Nina Ventzel Riis, describe Thurah’s roles as a leading architectural historian, topographer, grand tour traveller, civil servant, military man and trailblazer within the new social structure in Denmark under absolute rule.The book also sheds light on the Baroque period in a broader sense, delving into the era’s court culture, garden design and church architecture. Finally, the afterlife of Thurah’s works is addressed: how do his buildings function in our present day, having been adapted to the needs and users of a new era?

What does it mean to create, not in "a room of one's own" but in a domestic space? Do children and genius rule each other out? In The Baby on the Fire Escape, award-winning biographer Julie Phillips traverses the shifting terrain where motherhood and creativity converge.With fierce empathy and vivid prose, Phillips evokes the intimate struggles of brilliant artists and writers, including Doris Lessing, who had to choose between her motherhood and herself; Ursula K. Le Guin, who found productive stability in family life; Audre Lorde, whose queer, polyamorous union allowed her to raise children on her own terms and Alice Neel, who once, to finish a painting, was said to have left her baby on the fire escape of her New York apartment. A meditation on maternal identity and artistic greatness, The Baby on the Fire Escape illuminates some of the most pressing conflicts in contemporary women's lives.

Despite being one of the oldest building materials, wood is revolutionizing the way we design and construct buildings today. Criteria such as a changing work-life balance and working for a carbon-neutral future allow us to better account for the resources that buildings use and their effect on the natural environment. Studies have also shown the positive impacts of wood on health, wellness, and working toward equity in our local communities as we create beautiful spaces in which to gather, learn, and live. Featured in this book is a comprehensive survey of more than fifty buildings showcasing novel applications for this most ancient of building materials. Museum projects, corporate headquarters, resorts, residences, and temporary shelters for both natural and man-made disasters display the state of the art in wood construction, especially the emerging technology of mass timber, a fireproof composite material. Featured projects include the headquarters of Swatch and Omega, as well as the Aspen Museum, the Pompidou Metz, the Mount Fuji World Heritage Center, La Seine Musicale Performance Hall in Paris, the Oita Prefectural Museum, and the nineteen-story Terrace House in Vancouver, the world's tallest mass timber building, scheduled for completion in 2022.

Here is an absorbing biography of the English artist Dora Carrington, who called herself simply "Carrington". She was a woman who made a vivid impression on those she met-she was portrayed (or caricatured), for example, in novels by Wyndham Lewis, D. H. Lawrence, and Aldous Huxley. Hopelessly in love with the noted writer Lytton Strachey, she achieved notoriety by killing herself shortly after his death. A talented painter, living a bohemian life, Carrington was torn by conflicts as an artist and a woman, including the shrewd and inquisitive Bloomsbury group. Carrington's paintings, however, reveal much of her remarkable and original cast of mind, and since her death her reputation as an artist has grown steadily. Her work is new represented in major collections worldwide.

In the 1950s, Frei Otto's tent structures left their mark on the horticultural shows of the new Bonn Republic; together with Behnisch & Partner he created the roof landscape for the Munich Olympic Games in 1972. The innovative potential in his work is based on the interdisciplinarity of a mode of thinking that took in architecture, technology, art, science, and society. He saw nature as a model and tried throughout his life to harness it for the sake of architecture and civil engineering¿-¿and thus also for the future. The Frei-Otto Archive features a large number of experimental models. The book will come out in two editions (German and English) and will be the first time Frei Otto's models have appeared in print. The book is being published in conjunction with the most extensive exhibition to date of the work of Frei Otto at the ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe in association with the Wüstenrot Foundation. The exhibition will open in autumn 2016.

Als Maler, Architekturdoktor, ökologischer Aktivist und Philosoph ist Friedensreich Hundertwasser einer der faszinierendsten Künstler unserer Zeit. Sein Streben nach einem Einklang zwischen Mensch und Natur spiegelt sich in seiner Rolle als Vorreiter in den Bereichen Grüne Architektur, Stadtbegrünung und Umweltschutz. Seine Bauwerke in aller Welt zeigen sein Konzept eines menschen- und naturgerechteren Bauens: bewaldete Dächer, Baummieter, organische Formen anstelle des Rastersystems, Vielfalt anstelle von Monotonie. Als Querdenker und Förderer der menschlichen Kreativität und Selbstbestimmung wollte er die Menschen für das Schöne öffnen und zum eigenen schöpferischen Denken und Handeln animieren. ¿ In diesem Buch finden sich neben zahlreichen Abbildungen verschiedener Hundertwasser Architekturprojekte auch Zitate aus Texten von Hundertwasser, die zum Nachdenken anregen.

National Best Seller From the National Book Award-winning author of Just Kids: an unforgettable odyssey of a legendary artist, told through the prism of the cafés and haunts she has worked in around the world. It is a book Patti Smith has described as "a roadmap to my life." M Train begins in the tiny Greenwich Village café where Smith goes every morning for black coffee, ruminates on the world as it is and the world as it was, and writes in her notebook. Through prose that shifts fluidly between dreams and reality, past and present, and across a landscape of creative aspirations and inspirations, we travel to Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul in Mexico; to a meeting of an Arctic explorer's society in Berlin; to a ramshackle seaside bungalow in New York's Far Rockaway that Smith acquires just before Hurricane Sandy hits; and to the graves of Genet, Plath, Rimbaud, and Mishima. Woven throughout are reflections on the writer's craft and on artistic creation. Here, too, are singular memories of Smith's life in Michigan and the irremediable loss of her husband, Fred Sonic Smith. Braiding despair with hope and consolation, illustrated with her signature Polaroids, M Train is a meditation on travel, detective shows, literature, and coffee. It is a powerful, deeply moving book by one of the most remarkable multiplatform artists at work today.

Arkitekten Henning Larsen (1925-2013) var gennem hele livet optaget af tegningen som redskab til skitsering og udvikling af projekter, fra små huse til universiteter så store som byer.Han tegnede altid, og havde tilmed en lille blok fæstnet til instrumentbrættet i sin bil. Tegningerne spænder fra små visuelle notater til grafiske eksperimenter, der inspirerede til nye arkitekturformer. Men kun få af de tusinder bevarede skitser har været vist i de hidtidige udgivelser om Henning Larsen.Henning Larsen talte aldrig meget, han kommunikerede ofte sine tanker til medarbejdere og bygherrer gennem tegningen. Derfor giver skitserne et både dybt og bredt indblik i hans arbejde.

Nordic Architecture. The book is divided in themes and each theme is illustrated with examples gathered across the national borders.In some cases it was necessary to concentrate on the conditions in a certain country.From abroad, the Northern countries are considered to be a unity, but despite this, this is the first example of a book that treats the newer Nordic architecture as a whole.Recent international development has given rise to a need to revive the notion of the North as a place where modern architecture in a modified form has survived.This book is a new and updated edition of Nordic Architecture from 1993 with new photos and a new layout. It is written in a language that makes it enjoyable not only for professionals but also those with a general interest in architecture. Richly illustrated with photos and drawings.

Universal design offers a paradigm shift in how we understand and perceive human beings and the diversity of abilities within architecture and urban planning. The concept introduces a new approach to core aspects of architecture: sensory experiences, social sustainability, and architectural qualities and meaning. In Universal Design - On Enabling and Empowering a Diverse Population, Camilla Ryhl engages in dialogue with ten architects about their practices and understanding of universal design. The book introduces a model for applying universal design at three differing levels, providing a practical framework for creating inclusive and accessible spaces. It is an essential read for architects, designers, and anyone interested in creating spaces that harmonize with the varied abilities and experiences of all individuals.

Piet Blanckaert, one of Belgium's most important landscape architects, brings more than forty years of experience and a love of gardens to his work. Inspired by the great English landscape architects, his repertoire ranges from the walled gardens of his hometown of Bruges to magically structured landscape ensembles. With an introductory essay on his working methods, this book presents Blanckaert's gardens from the Baltic to the Mediterranean, from the earliest to the most recent, captured in fantastic photographs by Jean-Pierre Gabriel in every season. PIET BLANCKAERT (*1955) is a landscape architect and has run his own independent studio, Piet Blanckaert Landscape Design, in Bruges since 1979. His commissions include private gardens, the design of open spaces around hotels and industrial facilities, as well as sculpture gardens in Belgium, France, Spain, Austria, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Greece.

The architectural work of Hans and Wassili Luckhardt (1890-1954/1889-1972) is not yet adequately appreciated. As members of the Glass Chain initiative and the Ring collective, they shaped, especially through their work with Alfons Anker, the development of Modernist architecture in the 1920s, as evidenced by their winning design for the layout of Berlin's Alexanderplatz. While their early work was anchored in utopian expressionism, a more objective attitude emerged later, based on the application of new architectural constructs.The book documents all 40 of Hans und Wassili Luckhardt's realized buildings. Two essays deal with the unbuilt and utopian projects. Newly taken photographs and newly drawn plans by Carsten Krohn complement the historical illustrations. Comprehensive documentation of the work of Hans and Wassili Luckhardt. With approx. 80 new photographs and 80 newly drawn plans by Carsten Krohn
