Carsten Lorenzen
Only a few notable architectural firms are specialised in residential architecture. Drawing inspiration from Nordic housing and leading figures such as Arne Jacobsen and Kay Fisker, Carsten Lorenzen has a wealth of experience ranging from subsidised housing to private complexes, from the conception phase to the execution of precise details. This first monograph presents some 25 projects and ideas that have been planned or constructed since 1996. Essays describe the special challenges posed by brick construction, the quality of Lorenzen?s floor plans, and the architect's relationship to Copenhagen.
Curating Architecture and the City
Addressing the collection, representation and exhibition of architecture and the built environment, this book explores current practices, historical precedents, theoretical issues and future possibilities arising from the meeting of a curatorial ‘subject’ and an architectural ‘object’. Striking a balance between theoretical investigations and case studies, the chapters cover a broad methodological as well as thematic range. Examining the influential role of architectural exhibitions, the contributors also look at curatorship as an emerging attitude towards the investigation and interpretation of the city. International in scope, this collection investigates curation, architecture and the city across the world, opening up new possibilities for exploring the urban fabric.

Gry sztuki z architekturą
Książka, wpisująca się we wciąż aktualne w dobie „postmedializmu” dyskusje o rozmywaniu się granic sztuk, stawia pytanie o miejsce architektury w nowoczesnych systemach sztuk pięknych i we współczesnych definicjach sztuk wizualnych. Inspiracją do podjęcia tych rozważań stały się współczesne praktyki artystyczne, w których wyłania się wyraźnie nurt zainteresowania architekturą oraz sposobami architektonicznej reprezentacji. Współczesne integracje są ukazane na tle dawnych powinowactw, a zwłaszcza na tle osiemnastowiecznej krytyki doktryny ut pictura poesis,nowoczesnych systemów sztuk pięknych, często marginalizujących architekturę, dziewiętnastowiecznego p...
Lorenzen, DK-DE
Lorenzen Architects has completed many buildings in Germany. Due to his Danish roots Carsten Lorenzen has been inspired by Nordic housing and thinking. The use of brick often gives the buildings a striking, haptic quality. A design of intimate interiors within densely built settlements as well as subtle transitions between public and private space are further definitive aspects of Lorenzen's work, ranging from subsidized housing to private commissions, from urban design to the execution of details.This first monograph presents twenty-five projects that have been planned or constructed between 1996 and 2014, in recent years with Reinhard Mayer.
The Case for Marriage
A groundbreaking look at marriage, one of the most basic and universal of all human institutions, which reveals the emotional, physical, economic, and sexual benefits that marriage brings to individuals and society as a whole. The Case for Marriage is a critically important intervention in the national debate about the future of family. Based on the authoritative research of family sociologist Linda J. Waite, journalist Maggie Gallagher, and a number of other scholars, this book’s findings dramatically contradict the anti-marriage myths that have become the common sense of most Americans. Today a broad consensus holds that marriage is a bad deal for women, that divorce is better for childr...
