Et storværk, der samler nutidens hovedværker i dansk arkitektur.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Der Einsatz von Schutzmaßnahmen vor Naturgefahren ist zentraler Aspekt der alpinen Kultur. Dabei verwundert es, dass die Diskussion darüber fachintern geführt wird, in der Öffentlichkeit jedoch kaum wahrzunehmen ist. Die Zusammenschau von Schutzarchitekturen, dem imaginierten Bild der Alpen und dem langsamen Prozess der Adaptierung der öffentlichen Bildwelten an den Zustand der Verbauungen, führt nun zusammen was bis dato getrennt betrachtet wird. Nämlich, dass die touristisch konsumierten Landschaften mit einem nicht unerheblichen Aufwand erst stabilisiert werden müssen. Das Buch zeigt auf, wie die Produktion von Sicherheitsräumen im Spannungsfeld von Ästhetik und Technik wirksam wird und bietet Perspektiven auf Landschaft, die über die vermeintliche Unberührtheit von Natur hinausführen. Interdisziplinäre Studie über die Bildproduktion alpiner Sicherheitsarchitekturen Erschließung eines weiten Feldes an Bilddokumenten innovativer Beitrag zur "politischen Landschaft"

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.

Unlike fleeting trends that come and go, dopamine decor is forever. Why? Because it's inherently based on you - your distinctive style, favorite aesthetics, and the nostalgic pieces that never fail to make you smile.

Tratto da una storia vera, questo racconto storico descrive la grande manifattura artigianale della produzione pavimentale ad intarsio in sabbia e cemento (chiamate oggi volgarmente "cementine") tra la metà dell'ottocento fino a giungere ai giorni nostri. Il protagonista della storia (un giovane studente universitario che durante il racconto diverrà un architetto) viene coinvolto inizialmente nell'avvenimento come scopritore di questi antichi manufatti e dopo come artigiano produttore dello stesso. Difatti, con l'aiuto di due anziani maestri d'opera (discendenti da una delle grandi famiglie di produttori) conosciuti per caso ne descrive, oltre alla "magia" della creazione della mattonella in tutte le sue fasi produttive, anche tutta la nascita della stessa manifattura dal tempo della seconda rivoluzione industriale (1859) attraversando l'intero novecento. Il tutto condito da una ricca testimonianza fotografica (con un vasto archivio di materiale originale d'epoca avuto grazie alla conservazione amorevole dei due maestri d'arte) e con aneddoti e fatti realmente accaduti,che metteranno in luce una successione di emozioni tra tutti i protagonisti rimanendo "attaccati" fedelmente al contesto storico attraversato. La conclusione della storia, metterà a dura prova la passione intrapresa dal giovane architetto cresciuto all'interno di questa meravigliosa avventura.
