Arkitektur: professionel praksis

Monografi om arkitekten Svenn Eske Kristensen (1905-2000)og hans væsentligste værker op gennem det 20. århundrede.Eske Kristensen var en af Danmarks ypperste og mest produktive arkitekter i efterkrigstiden. Med en nøgtern tilgang og et socialt engagement byggede han alt fra sociale boligbyggerier til store produktionsanlæg. I dag står Eske Kristensen som foregangsmand for byggeriets industrialisering og som en central figur i opbygningen af velfærdssamfundet.Bogen består af tre dele, der ser på Eske Kristensens værker ud fra henholdsvis et historisk og et arkitektonisk perspektiv efterfulgt af en værkfortegnelse. Bogen gennemillustreres af Eske Kristensens egne tegninger, historiske fotos og af fotograf Jens Lindhes fotografier. Bogens forfattere er professor og arkitekt maa, phd. Peter Thule Kristensen og historiker Kenn Schoop.

København bliver tættere og højere end nogensinde før. Hvordan fungerer byens nye højhuse, hvordan bidrager de til livet omkring sig, og hvad gør arkitekturen for at mod- eller medvirke til byens stigende sociale ulighed? Mens vi samler os stadig flere på samme plads, stiger afstanden mellem rig og fattig.KAPITALEN handler om, hvordan hovedstadens arkitektur, bygninger og rum ændrer sig i denne situation. Foruden en indlevet præsentation af Københavns nye bydele byder bogen på klartseende analyser af, hvad arkitekturen gør, socialt og økonomisk, for byen omkring den.KAPITALEN er skrevet af Karsten R.S. Ifversen, arkitekturredaktør ved dagbladet Politiken, med nyoptagelser af den prisbelønnede arkitektur-fotograf Jens Markus Lindhe.

Vibrationer finder sted i og omkring bygninger. Gennem værker af Lundgaard & Tranberg Arkitekter viser Politikens arkitekturredaktør Karsten Ifversen, hvilken kunstart, det er at få arkitektur til at vibrere på stedet, i menneskene og med tiden. Med et filosofisk blik og i klart sprog besvarer han spørgsmålet: Hvad er god arkitektur?Tænk på Det kongelige Teaters skuespilhus ved vandet. Tænk på det cirkelrunde Tietgen Kollegiet i Ørestad. Tænk på CBS’ Kilen på Frederiksberg eller SEB Bank og Pensions hovedsæde ved Kalvebod Brygge. Alle byggerier, der forholder sig til, inddrager og tilfører omgivelserne, de er opført i, nye kvaliteter.“De tager udgangspunkt i en nordisk tradition og stedets betingelser, men deres vilje til at forny arkitekturen overskrider helt det blot lokale og bringer dem i klasse med nogle af verdens førende tegnestuer”, skriver Karsten R.S. Ifversen i bogen, hvor han forsøger at få greb om, hvad det er ved disse huse, der gør Lundgaard & Tranberg til tidens mest betydelige danske tegnestue.Med fotografier af Jens Lindhe.

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.

Alle der passer på vores fredede bygninger – og dem er der omkring 9.000 af i Danmark – fortjener i virkeligheden at blive fejret og bygningerne vist frem,så alle kan fornemme, at det at forstå vores umistelige bygningsværdier går på tværs af historien, selvom skønheden skifter udtryk gennem tiderne.Med Elskede huse viser fotograf Susten Bonnén og forfatter Louise Svanholm 53 ’nye’ gamle bygninger. Hovedmotivet er det særlige samspil, der er mellem de historiske bygninger og æstetikken som en sanseligerfaring, der styrker vores fornemmelse af, hvem vi er, og hvor vi kommer fra.Elskede huse er bind 2 om den danske kulturarv set gennem vores fredede bygninger. Bogen hylder de mennesker, der bruger deres liv på at vedligeholde og bevare vores bygningskultur på en sådan måde, at husene får nye funktioner og muligheder, der passer til nutiden og det omgivende samfund.Bind 1: De bevarer Danmark – kærlighed til fredede huse udkom i 2014.

Nykredit Fonds Arkitekturpris er Skandinaviens største arkitekturpris. Hvert år uddeles den, sammen med en bæredygtighedspris og en motivationspris, til en arkitekt eller tegnestue, hvis arbejde bidrager væsentligt til at højne kvaliteten i vores byggede omgivelser. Priserne er på 1 million kroner.Bogen Positioner i ny dansk arkitektur præsenterer de seneste 13 års prismodtagere og tegner et unikt, opdateret portræt af den allernyeste arkitektur, som den former sig netop nu. De 13 prisvindende tegnestuer er interviewet af skribent og redaktør Michael Juul Holm i et levende og lettilgængeligt sprog. Bogen rummer desuden et nyt essay af forlagsdirektør på Arkitektens Forlag Kristoffer Lindhardt Weiss.Bogen er rigt illustreret med mere end 130 fotografier af ny arkitektur fra Danmarks vigtigste tegnestuer, såsom BIG, COBE, SLA og Dorte Mandrup. Derudover præsenterer den også 2019’s spritnye prismodtagere.

Nu kommer de næste to bind i en bogserie om ny dansk arkitektur. Gennem 10 bind vil serien give et vitalt signalement af den nyeste danske arkitektur. Hvert bind udfolder et enkelt bygningsværk og portrætterer derigennem tegnestuen bag. De 10 bygninger repræsenterer desuden 10 aktuelle temaer i tidens arkitekturdebat. Gennem et essay og et dybdegående interview med arkitekten, kommer man helt tæt på. Samtaleformatet vil sikre en uformel beskrivelse, mens essayet vil supplere med baggrundsviden.”LEGO House er nok den bygning i hele vores karriere, hvor der er den største sammenhæng mellem form og indhold,” siger stjernearkitekten Bjarke Ingels. Den opsigtsvækkende LEGO House bygning midt i Billund er bygget op af 21 store klodser omkring et åbent torv i midten. Det skal både fungere som det sted, hvor ’LEGO-pilgrimme’ fra hele verden kan mødes, og som et sted, hvor indbyggerne i Billund frit kan skrå igennem eller opholde sig i.Over torvet er der så 12 forskellige gallerier, der viser forskellige vinkler på LEGOs filosofi om ’læring gennem leg’.

ARCHITECTURETHE GOLD STANDARD IN INTRODUCTORY ARCHITECTURE TEXTS, FULLY UPDATED TO REFLECT THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN THE FIELDFor more than forty years, the beautifully illustrated Architecture: Form, Space, and Order has served as the classic introduction to the basic vocabulary of architectural design. In this fifth edition, more recent additions to the architectural panoply illustrate how contemporary digital and building technologies have influenced the development of architectural forms and spaces and how architectural siting and design have responded to the call for more environmentally responsible buildings. It is designed to encourage critical thought and to promote a more evocative understanding of architecture.* The fifth edition is updated with many new urban design and building precedents from a diverse range of cultural and geographic areas* New content focuses on the latest technology and trends in structure, construction, materials, and sustainability* Includes more than 800 illustrations, many hand-drawn, which demonstrate the foundations and concepts every architect must masterArchitecture: Form, Space, and Order distills complex concepts of design into a clear focus and brings difficult abstractions to life. It explains form and space in relation to light, view, openings, and enclosures and explores the organization of space, and the elements and relationships of circulation, as well as proportion and scale. In addition, the text's detailed illustrations demonstrate the concepts presented and reveal the relationships between fundamental elements of architecture through the ages and across cultures.

Denne bog fortæller en ny historie om det 20. århundredes arkitektur iDanmark. For første gang får vi et samlet billede af den store betydning, kvinder har haft i perioden 1930-1980 for udviklingen af velfærdssamfundets arkitektur.Bogens fem kapitler præsenterer hidtil ufortalte historier om, hvordan arkitektur bliver til i kraft af kreative samarbejder på tværs af køn og fagligheder. Kvinder har bidraget til alt fra køkkener og bygninger til landskabsarkitektur og byplanlægning, og deres historier tydeliggør den skjulte mangfoldighed, der har formet vores bygninger, byer og landskaber. Det er nødvendigt at forstå betydningen af denne mangfoldighed, for at vi kan skabe nye måder at bo og bygge på i fremtiden i lyset af de mange kriser, vi som samfund står over for.Bogen er skrevet af Jannie Rosenberg Bendsen, Svava Riesto og Henriette Steiner som en del af forskningsprojektet Kvinder i dansk arkitektur påKøbenhavns Universitet.

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.

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

Vibrations narrates from within and around buildings. Through works by the Danish drawing office Lundgaard & Tranberg Architects, the architecture editor of the newspaper Politiken, Karsten R.S. Ifversen, examines the art of making architecture vibrate on the spot, in human beings and with its time. With a philosophical gaze and in clear language, he answers the question: What makes good architecture?To examine this, Ifversen attempts to grasp what it is about Lundgaard & Tranberg that makes them the most influential Danish drawing office of our time. In the foreword, Karsten R.S. Ifversen writes: “They take their point of departure in a Nordic tradition and the conditions of the place, but their will to renew architecture transcends the merely local and places them in a class with some of the world’s leading drawing offices.”Photos by Jens Lindhe.The rights of this book belongs to Hatje Cantz.

Det menneskelige habitat afdækker arkitekturens skjulte kræfter. Bogen bygger på forskning fra mange videns felter og fra mange steder i verden i forhold til, hvordan det fysiske miljø påvirker menneskers sanser, hjerner, følelser og adfærd. Samtidig er bogen forfatterens personlige og faglige rejse og samtaler med forskere og praktikere, der alle sammen har en særlig viden om, hvilke forhold og elementer ved det fysiske miljø, som gør mennesker godt - og skidt - alt sammen i et forsøg på at levere et mere fast videns grundlag til social bæredygtig arkitektur.

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.

Giancarlo de Carlo besuchte Urbino zum ersten Mal 1951, um das Büro des Rektors der Universität zu renovieren. Dies war der Beginn einer lebenslangen Beschäftigung in dieser kleinen Stadt, in der er in den nächsten fünf Jahrzehnten weiterarbeitete. Dieses Buch ist Teil der Reihe "Everything without Content" und stellt Arbeiten vor, die Giancarlo de Carlo in den 1960er und 70er Jahren in Urbino verwirklichte, während er sich gleichzeitig an den Debatten des Team 10 beteiligte, das die modernistischen Doktrinen über Architektur und Städtebau in Frage stellten. Acht Gebäude in diesem Buch werden anhand von Zeichnungen von Studenten der Akademie für Architektur USI, Mendriso, und Fotografien von Stefano Graziani vorgestellt.

Tools der künstlichen Intelligenz (KI) sind derzeit in der Architektur auf dem Vormarsch. Die sozialen Medien werden mit Wort-zu-Bild-/Bild-zu-Bild-generierten Illustrationen fiktiver Gebäude überschwemmt, die von Tools wie "Midjourney", "DALL-E", "Nightcafe" und anderen generiert wurden. Architekten sind von den schnell generierten und inspirierenden "Entwürfen" fasziniert, während andere sie als oberflächlich und formalistisch kritisieren.Dieses Buch zeigt, wie diese neuen Technologien als generative Werkzeuge in den pädagogisch architektonischen Entwurfsprozess integriert werden können. Der KI-gestützte Architekturentwurf beantwortet insbesondere folgende Fragen:> Wie können wir KI-Bildgenerator-Tools in das Architekturdesign integrieren?> Wie können wir KI nutzen, um die erforderlichen Ergebnisse zu erzielen?> Wie erfolgreich ist ein solcher Designprozess im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Designprozessen?Dieses Buch beleuchtet die Vorteile und Herausforderungen des Einsatzes von KI-Bildgenerator-Tools im architektonischen Entwurfsprozess. Es enthält praktische Fallstudien darüber, wie KI zu einem kreativen Designprozess beitragen kann, sowie Anleitungen zum Einsatz von KI, um die erforderlichen Ergebnisse zu erzielen.

First comprehensive monograph about the tropical architecture of Godwin and Hopwood in Nigeria After studying at the Architectural Association in London, John Godwin and Gillian Hopwood moved to Nigeria, where they significantly shaped the country's architectural landscape for more than sixty years. When Nigeria became independent in 1960 following British dominance since the 19th century, the couple worked to create architecture that was site-specific, modern, and adapted to the climate relevant to Nigeria's aspirational political and economic policies. In this richly illustrated monograph, organised by typology, Ben Tosland examines Godwin and Hopwood's form of tropical modernism and illuminates its contemporary meanings and concluding with its relevance in times of the climate crisis. First comprehensive monograph about the architecture of Godwin and Hopwood Image-rich publication on one of the most important architectural practices for post-colonial, independent Nigeria Insightful findings for passive structural cooling techniques
