Findes i en engelsk udgave – Secret Places (9788793604810)Hvad skal dine gæster se, når der er sat kryds ved verdenskendte ikoner som Amalienborg, Grundtvigs Kirke og Nationalbanken? Arkitekten Marie-Louise Høstbo viser os med denne bog 50 oversete bygninger i og omkring København. Særlige steder, som med garanti vil både overraske og udfordre.Med sit kreative blik deler forfatteren i 50 bygningsportrætter sin entusiasme og respekt for dansk arkitektur. Hun sætter værkerne ind i en historisk sammenhæng og viser, hvordan de er skabt med en omhu i relation til kontekst, materiale og detaljering, som opløser deres samtidighed, så en universel relevans træder frem. De udvalgte værker har en menneskelig skala og appellerer til brugeren — taktilt, finurligt, sanseligt og visuelt. De er alle en væsentlig del af den danske arkitekturtradition, som samfundet i dag er bygget op om, og de er alle holdbare såvel æstetisk som praktisk.Under temaerne Nordisk lys & funktionalisme, Tegl & monolitter, Mønster & farve, Geometri & komposition samt Brutalisme & konkretisme samler forfatteren ypperlige eksempler fra de seneste 90 års moderne danske arkitektur. Detaljer og vinkler peger på nye sammenhænge på tværs af tid, stil og sted, og for arkitekturelskeren vil byen forandre og åbne sig på ny.

Et storværk, der samler nutidens hovedværker i dansk arkitektur. Gennem det seneste årti har de danske arkitekter igen slået deres navn fast på den internationale arkitekturhimmel – med blandt andre Bjarke Ingels, Dorte Mandrup og Lene Tranberg i spidsen.Med udgangspunkt i ti bygningsværker af ti tegnestuer er 'Ny Dansk Arkitektur' en milepæl, der stiller skarpt på hvad det er, der gør dansk arkitektur til noget særligt i disse år. Gennem interviews, essays, nyoptagelser og et rigt tegningsmateriale giver bogen et solidt indblik det, der ligger til grund for dansk arkitekturs nye guldalder.Bogen er en samlet udgave af bogserien 'Ny Dansk Arkitektur 1-10', der er udkommet gennem de seneste fem år. Med sine 992 sider er værket den største samlede dokumentation af en nyeste danske arkitektur i anledning af København som UNESCO Arkitekturhovedstad 2023.

I 'Drømmenes København' fører Holger Dahl os igennem den urealiserede arkitekturs København.Vi husker det, som var engang. Men hvad med alt det, der aldrig blev? Idéer, der kunne have forandret byen på godt og ondt. Nogle har vi lykkeligt undgået, mens andre på spektakulær vis udfordrer, hvad byen kunne have været i dag. Med Holger Dahl som kyndig guide ledes vi igennem en forestillet by, der rummer Jørn Utzons svømmehal ved Søerne, en mur af BIG-boliger langs Kløvermarken og Theo Bjergs udbygning til SMK.Den offentlige hukommelse er ubarmhjertigt kort, og sjældent skænker vi det ikke-byggede mange tanker. Det hukommelsestab udfordrer 'Drømmenes København'. Hvilke kvaliteter og ambitioner havde de urealiserede projekter? Valgte vi altid den rigtige løsning?

Arkitektur kan overraske, forundre og gøre os nysgerrige på mere. Den kan – særligt når vi går helt tæt på – formidle fortællinger om kreative arkitekter, visionære bygherrer, dygtige håndværkere og skildre sammenhænge på tværs af tid i en evigt foranderlig verden.Marie-Louise Høstbo tager dig med på en arkitektonisk opdagelsesrejse gennem 35 bygningsværker i det midtjyske – fra Ebeltoft i øst til Vemb i vest og fra Skive i nord til Askov i syd. Hemmelige steder – Arkitektens guide til særlige bygningsværker i det midtjyske viser dig de særlige detaljer og oversete historier, der ligger gemt i bygninger af høj arkitektonisk værdi på turen gennem Jylland.Forfatter og fotograf Marie-Louise Høstbo er arkitekt MAA. Hun har gennem mange år beskæftiget sig som design- og arkitekturspecialist. Høstbo arbejder med formidling af dansk design og arkitektur i ord og billeder.

Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-78) er en af 1700-tallets mest betydningsfulde romerske kunstnere. Han var uddannet arkitekt, men er bedst kendt for sin produktion af grafiske tryk, der gennem tiden har fascineret kunstinteresserede. Allerede i samtiden var hans værker berømte.I denne bog, der ledsager SMK’s udstilling Piranesi – syner og sandhed, undersøges den visuelle fascinationskraft ved kunstnerens værker. Med en overlegen grafisk teknik skabte Piranesi imponerende og detaljerede billeduniverser, som man uundgåeligt fortaber sig i. Antikkens ruiner var et yndet motiv, og hans hensigt var at vise fortidens Rom som et højdepunkt for civilisation, kreativitet og innovation. Piranesis ærinde var dog ikke alene at gengive den virkelighed, han erfarede. Han tilføjede den dramatiske og effektfulde elementer og manipulerede radikalt med perspektiverne. Værkerne ender et sted mellem syner og sandhed. De er både syner og sandhed.

Versatile wooden windows In her book, the trained carpenter and architect Judith Resch looks at what scope still exists in modern window design and construction. The process of simplification is more difficult to achieve for windows than for most building components, since windows, due to their function, must meet high technical specifications. She presents a variety of window design projects that have one thing in common: they pursue a singular design concept using the simplest possible means. All projects are presented in detail with technical drawings and photographs. 10 simple wooden window designs From retrofitting historical windows to the possibilities of DIY design Precisely designed, handcrafted, highly repairable windows

Midt i København, på 6. sal i SAS-huset, ligger Værelse 606 som et velbevaret mikrokosmos af den danske arkitekt og designer Arne Jacobsens definitive mesterværk. Værelse 606 er i dag det eneste bevarede interiør i SAS-huset, som stod færdigt i 1960 og er designet af Jacobsen for SAS. Bygningen rummede både det luksuriøse SAS Royal Hotel og en lufthavnsterminal.SAS-huset er det mest helstøbte værk i Jacobsens karriere. Her udfoldede han alle sine talentersom designer af møbler, lamper, tekstiler, haver, typografi og bordservice. Som et fragment, der rummer hele bygningens essens, danner Værelse 606 afsæt for en rekonstruktion af Jacobsens forsvundne mesterværk i ord og billeder.Denne gennemillustrerede bog, som indeholder næsten 500 fotos og tegninger, tager læseren med på en virtuel rundvisning på SAS Royal Hotel og i lufthavnsterminalen, som de fremstod i 1960, og sporer SAS-husets inspirationskilder til en række tidligere bygningsværker og designobjekter. Den udforskning af Jacobsens værk, som indledes i Værelse 606, giver dermed en generel introduktion til hele hans karriere.Arkitekt Michael Sheridan, som bor og arbejder i New York, er en internationalt anerkendt ekspert i moderne dansk arkitektur og design og forfatter til blandt andet Mesterværker – enfamiliehuseti dansk arkitekturs guldalder (2011) og Louisiana – arkitektur og landskab (2017).

Bispebjerg Hospital i København har et helt enestående haveanlæg, der siden indvielsen i 1913 har givet patienter, ansatte og besøgende mulighed for at finde ro.Den smukke have, der hver dag giver patienter og pårørende et pusterum, har siden 2019 været under kærlig behandling af landskabsarkitekt Charlotte Skibsted og arkitekt Erik Brandt Dam, som har samarbejdet om at bevare havens særlige ånd. Sammen har de med støtte fra A.P. Møller Fonden givet Martin Nyrop og Edvard Glæsels mesterlige haveanlæg nyt liv.‘Helende haver’ giver et indblik i havernes historie og frednings-værdier, og i hvordan arkitekterne har arbejdet. Den er samtidig en dokumentation af de konkrete ændringer, der er blevet udført med nænsom hånd.

En præsentation af billedhuggeren Laila Westergaard og hendes mange kunstværker. Rigt illustreret.Bogen går systematisk til værks og giver et kapitler til hver af de forskellige genrer, som Laila Westergaard har beskæftiget sig med. Først den umiddelbart uprætentiøs form for skulptur, nemlig karret. Dernæst relieffet, så følger Laila Westergaards hovedgenre, skulpturen. I det næstsidste kapitel belyses det foreløbige hovedværk, Gødstrup Hospitalskirke, hvor samarbejdet mellem Laila Westergaard og arkitektfirmaet Friis & Moltke fra begyndelsen af drejede sig om at udvikle et Gesamtkunstwerk, dvs. en helhed, der omfattede alle elementer i en luthersk kirke. Bogen om Laila Westergaards kunst slutter med en gennemgang af hendes udsmykninger af fællesgrave og udformning af gravsten.

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.

The book Works in Architecture by artist group A Kassen explores the blending of art and architecture in what they term the expanded domain of architecture. It highlights the creative exchanges between these two fields, offering a deeper dialogue that challenges traditional ideas of architecture as merely functional and aesthetic. Through a series of projects, A Kassen introduces elements that disturb and distort reality, encouraging us to see and experience space in new ways.By merging art with architecture, A Kassen opens up new possibilities for how spaces can be designed, used, and interpreted. Their work encourages architects and artists alike to reimagine the role of art in shaping the built world, offering fresh inspiration for incorporating creativity into building culture. This continuous exploration of the intersection between art and architecture helps to redefine the boundaries of both disciplines, pushing the potential of architecture into new, imaginative territory.With an introduction and interview by Kristoffer Lindhardt Weiss

Vi er næsten altid til stede i eller omkring arkitektur. Arkitektur påvirker, hvordan vi har det. De rum, vi bevæger os rundt i, påvirker os. De har indvirkning på vores helbred, både fysisk og psykisk, vores generelle velbefindende og den jord, vi bygger og bor på. Arkitekturen har med andre ord agens, den gør noget. Bogen AWARE: Reflections on the Agency of Architecture undersøger således arkitekturens agens og spørger, hvad det er, arkitektur kan og gør? Bogen fortsætter den samtale 3XN GXN startede med soloudstillingen Aware på Dansk Arkitektur Center. En udstilling, der leger med den almenmenneskelige oplevelse af, at vi påvirkes følelsesmæssigt af de rum, vi opholder os i. Vi har inviteret 14 praktikere på tværs af discipliner og generationer til at reflektere over udstillingens tema. Blandt bidragyderne er Yasmeen Lari, Olafur Eliasson, Sumayya Vally og Rasmus Munk.

Circular Construction for urban development is based on the Circular Economy theory developed by the Ellen McArthur Foundation. The perspective presented is how circular principles can be implemented on multiple levels in the building industry by applying off-site modular industrialised construction. The book's overarching theme is exploring the synergies of coupling circularity with industrialisation. The construction sector is well known for being siloed and slow to innovate due to its inherent nature of starting over in each individual project and solving the same challenges with new teams and new solutions. Through industrialised construction, our current project-focused practice can be turned into circular product platform thinking based on the belief that rationalisation and technological innovation will continue to play a significant role in shaping a safer and fairer future. This book introduces various principles, perspectives, and tools. It covers principles of design for disassembly, material and building passports, and circular business models. It also provides perspectives on circular life cycle assessment and tools that can provide circularity insights, planetary boundary targets for construction, and estimates of existing reuse and upfront carbon savings.

Exquisitely detailed drawings offer a “field guide” to ubiquitous but overlooked elements of Vancouver’s urban landscape.Three series of intricate graphite drawings depict, with arresting realism, real-world examples of assembled, grown, and built objects common to distinct milieus of Vancouver: the shopping carts piled high with belongings that clatter along sidewalks in the downtown core; the long, high hedges that insulate single-family homes from the din of arterial traffic; and the sculptural lions placed for good luck atop fenceposts in front of many homes, especially on the city’s east side.In creating snapshots and then laborious drawings of these objects, Taizo Yamamoto, the principal of Yamamoto Architecture, was driven by a fascination with how the recurrence of these seemingly mundane objects speaks to omnipresent issues of housing unaffordability, densification, and the aspirations of diasporic communities—concerns that have an uneasy relationship to celebrated narratives of Vancouver but play a prominent role in residents’ everyday lives. To this work he brings not just sustained careful attention but an architect’s eye for details both structural and textural, resulting in immersive, richly nuanced drawings.New essays and fiction from three authors engages the work through prose: Aaron Peck, author of Jeff Wall: North & West (2015), interprets the shopping cart drawings as an appreciation of “ephemeral architecture” and sees affinities to work by Walker Evans and Hilda and Bernd Becher; a short story by Giller Prize–nominated author Kevin Chong (The Double Life of Benson Yu, 2023) imagines the lives behind the hedges; and Jackie Wong, senior editor of The Tyee, reports on the origin, production, and symbolism of the many lions dotting the city.

The world-renowned architect Arne Jacobsen created a wealth of world-class buildings and functional designs. Late in his career, he revealed that if he had to choose just one of his designs, it would be St Catherine’s College, affectionately known as Catz, in Oxford. This is the story of Catz in the past, present, and future. The book describes the genesis of the project, the architecture, and the surrounding park and introduces some of the students who live here and are being shaped by this unique place. The college is viewed through the lens of film, literature, poetry, satire, music, critique and recollections and illuminated with new photographs, student interviews, forgotten or overlooked stories and drawings from England and Denmark – and much more. The author, architect René Kural, PhD, has written several books on significant works of architecture. Architecture photographer Rasmus Hjortshøj took all the new photographs for the book.

In an age of glossy architectural visualizations and slick photography, today's media is saturated with images of projects mummified in their ideal, untouched, and unused state. Every design and technical publication on landscape architecture tries to teach us how to do things based on best practices. Rarely do we see a landscape project that has been in use for five or even ten years. To counterbalance this status quo, it is time to review and scrutinize the Sh*tscapes : typical mistakes in the design of our public realm. This publication is a compendium of a hundred failures made in the design, construction, or maintenance processes of urban landscapes. Looking at these unsuccessful examples, the authors propose simple and practical solutions aimed at preventing common mistakes, predicting future scenarios, and averting or accepting failures.

Artificial neuronal networks open up radical new pathways for image creation. On the basis of textual prompts, machine-learning algorithms like Midjourney and DALL-E generate imagery that is simultaneously familiar and alien. Graphic designer Floyd Schulze uses this rapidly developing technology to recreate architectural icons. In an accompanying essay, Georg Vrachliotis takes up the topic on the theoretical level. OK Computer is the first book to deal with AI-generated architectural imagery from an artistic perspective.
