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.

Zwischen Ohnmacht und Größen- wahn schwankend versuchen Architekten und Stadtplaner seit langem, ganze Lebensräume, Zivilisationen und sogar den Planeten zu entwerfen. Im gegenwärtigen Klima geopolitischer Unsicherheiten und Revisionen der Rechtsstaatlichkeit, die vor dem Hintergrund beispielloser Umweltveränderungen statt- finden, erkennen Design-Fachleute jedoch einmal mehr die Verwund- barkeit ihres Fachgebiets an. Everyday Matters zeigt wie Archi- tekten ihren Schwerpunkt auf den Bereich des Alltäglichen verlagert haben, da sie mit den Herausforde- rungen einer ungewissen Zukunft konfrontiert sind.Ausgehend von der Betrachtung banaler Objekte, der Verwendung einfacher Materialen, der Beschäf- tigung mit täglichen Routinen und Fragen der Instandhaltung zeichnet das Buch nach, wie der Alltag sowohl praktische als auch theore- tische Bereiche der Architektur und des Städtebaus beeinflusst, indem er eine neue Ethik und Ästhetik der Bescheidenheit auslöste, eine Entwurfshaltung, die in keiner Weise von Untätigkeit oder mangelndem Willen zeugt, sondern von einem neuen Selbstverständnis der Architekten, Design für alle als gemein- sames Anliegen wieder relevant zu machen.Mit einem Vorwort von Beatriz Colomina and Mark Wigley. Beiträge von Anna Heringer, Andrés Jaque, Anna Puigjaner, Charlotte Malterre-Barthes u.v.a.

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.

An illuminating biography of one of the most famous--and most famously unfinished--buildings in the world, the Sagrada Familia of Barcelona.The scaffolding-cloaked spires of Antoni Gaudí's masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia, dominate the Barcelona skyline and draw in millions of visitors every year. More than a century after the first stone was laid in 1882, the Sagrada Familia remains unfinished, a testament to Gaudí's quixotic ambition, his religious devotion, and the sensuous eccentricity of his design. It has defied the critics, the penny-pinching accountants, the conservative town-planners, and the devotees of sterile modernism. It has enchanted and frustrated the citizens of Barcelona. And it has passed through the landmark changes of twentieth-century Spain, surviving two World Wars, the ravages of the Spanish Civil War, and the "Hunger Years" of Franco's rule.Gijs van Hensbergen's The Sagrada Familia explores the evolution of this remarkable building, working through the decades right up to the present day before looking beyond to the final stretch of its construction. Rich in detail and vast in scope, this is a revelatory chronicle of an iconic structure, its place in history, and the wild genius that created it.

The recipient of the 2014 Pritzker Prize in architecture, Shigeru Ban remains one of the most innovative of architects. A pioneer in the use of sustainable materials, Ban is the most visible proponent of wood and bamboo in contemporary architecture, and especially mass timber, a fireproof, composite material, and nearly 50 new buildings and projects are featured in this latest volume on his work.

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.
