Faaborg Museum and the Artists' Colony
Behind rolling hills, overlooking the fjord and the islands of Southern Funen in Denmark, lies the Faaborg Museum. With its boldly coloured walls and decorative tile floors made from local clay, the building has quite literally sprung from Funen's soil in a symbiosis of local nature and culture. Inside, visitors will find art by the 'Funen Painters', created during the period 1880 to 1928, when Faaborg was home to one of Denmark's pre-eminent artists' colonies. With their paintings of rural Funen, farmworkers and domestic scenes, the artists Peter Hansen, Fritz and Anna Syberg, Jens Birkholm and Johannes Larsen introduced new subject matter and new methods of painting to Danish art. Faaborg Museum and the Artists' Colony presents the history of Faaborg Museum, its architecture, collection and artists to international audiences for the first time. Lavishly illustrated, the book features architectural photographs and plans as well as pictures of the museum's art.
Privacy at Sea
This book explores the idea of privacy at sea, from early sixteenth-century maritime expansions to nineteenth-century naval developments. In this period, the sea became a focal point of political and economic ambition as technological and cultural shifts enabled a more extensive exploration of maritime spaces and global coexistence at sea. The exploration of the sea and the conflicts arising from establishing control over maritime routes demanded a more nuanced distinction and negotiation between State and private efforts. Privateering, for example, became a bridge between the private enterprises and the State’s warfares or trade struggles, demonstrating that the sea required public contro...

Architect
Text in English and German. Franz Riepl is the outstanding exponent of the architecture now called 'the other architecture'. Housing was the dominant architectural theme of his entire working life. Riepl has always gone his own way, not attaching himself to the general trends of the day or to ideologies. Instead, his housing is distinguished by its humane form, and outstanding suitability for normal daily life inside it: calm, without exclamation marks so to speak. It is part of that other Modernism, which is austere but comprehensible without being populist. This also includes the disciplined building details, in many cases improved industrial products. The characteristics of Riepl's buildi...
Structures and Architecture
Although the disciplines of architecture and structural engineering have both experienced their own historical development, their interaction has resulted in many fascinating and delightful structures. To take this interaction to a higher level, there is a need to stimulate the inventive and creative design of architectural structures and to persuade architects and structural engineers to further collaborate in this process, exploiting together new concepts, applications and challenges. This set of book of abstracts and full paper searchable CD-ROM presents selected papers presented at the 3rd International Conference on Structures and Architecture Conference (ICSA2016), organized by the Sch...

Huse der har formet os
Huse der har formet os fortæller arkitekturhistorien bag de institutioner og offentlige rum, der har dannet ramme om danskernes hverdagsliv fra 1700-tallet til i dag. Bogen følger i otte kapitler forskellige bygningstypers opståen og forandringer, deres brug og deres storhed og fald. Den undersøger de bagvedliggende - og skiftende - arkitektoniske og samfundsmæssige idealer, der har haft betydning for deres udformning og indretning. Især inddrages sammenhængen mellem det 20. århundredes modernisme i arkitekturen og udviklingen af velfærdssamfundet. Særlig dramatiske udviklingshistorier har bygninger fra industrialismens storhedstid som f.eks. jernbanestationer, posthuse og toldkamr...
Kay Fisker
Kay Fisker (1893-1965) is considered one of the most influential Danish architects of the twentieth century, and yet there has existed until now no in-depth English-language study of his works and writing. Published as part of the Bloomsbury Studies in Modern Architecture series, which brings to light the work of significant yet overlooked modernist architects, this book examines Fisker's key projects – from his early railway stations and innovative housing projects to the Danish Academy in Rome – and analyses his work as a historian and writer. Fisker's output is closely associated with the functional tradition, a hybridization of international modernism and regional architectural typologies, and this book shows how his architectural poetics can be understood as an amalgamation of an ideal order with the contingent conditions of landscapes and urban sites. Hybridization is not only a valuable notion for understanding Fisker, the book argues, it can also be applied to an understanding of modernist architecture as a whole, with its various expressions, agendas and tensions both regionally and internationally.
Sculpture and the Nordic Region
Histories of sculpture within the Nordic region are under-studied and the region?s influence upon and translation of influences from elsewhere in Europe remain insufficiently traced. This volume brings to light individual histories of sculptural mobility from the early modern period onwards. Examining the movement of sculptures, sculptors, practices, skills, styles and motifs across borders, through studios and public architectures, within popular and print culture and via texts, the essays collected here consider the extent to which the sculptural artwork is changed by its physical movement and its transfigurations in other media. How does the meaning and form of these objects performativel...
Det historiske blik
Tidens urolige sammenblanding af fakta og fiktion, historie og kunst, har igen gjort fortiden til en akademisk, politisk og kulturel kampplads. Det historiske blik undersøger spændet mellem genskabelse af fortiden, ”som den var,” og aktualisering af historien i kulturelle og politiske sammenhænge. Forfatterne beskriver, hvordan det historiske perspektiv kan bidrage til forståelsen af aktuelle konflikter og trends. Samtidig stiller de skarpt på det tilsyneladende modsætningsforhold mellem den historiske forsknings retrospektive blik på den moderne verden og den aktuelle fordring om at løse samfundsproblemer her og nu. Det historiske blik diskuterer historiebrug og historisk forskning på tværs af traditionelle fagskel. Bogen samler forskere fra fagfelter som antropologi, kunsthistorie, lingvistik, historie, jura, teologi og litteratur. Tilsammen giver de et bud på den historiske forsknings rolle og status – nu og i fremtiden.
