Icelandic Farmhouses
Icelandic Farmhouses. Identity, Landscape and Construction (1790-1945) retraces the history of Icelandic rural architecture between the late eighteenth century and the mid-twentieth century. Through the study of Icelandic rural buildings, this book narrates a very special history of architecture: one of adaptation and tradition, scarcity of building materials and transfers of knowledge with Europe. The history of Icelandic farmhouses is intermixed with construction issues, nationalistic debates, and a quest for a much-needed modernization of the standards of living. The book aims to retrace the role of modern building techniques in the development of Icelandic rural architecture and society.
Konstruktionssprachen
Architecture has its styles and epochs―but how can the history of the underlying construction methods be subdivided into particular epochs? The volume, for the first time, investigates whether comparable historical patterns can be made out behind the facades. The focus is on the specific information conveyed to us by the loadbearing structure and construction details to help us better understand various types of buildings. In addition, the authors attempt to discover whether a basic scheme of creation, consolidation, and dissolution of "construction language" can be detected beyond linear models of progression and what the potential of this approach is for a new interpretation of the history of building technology.

Sabine
Josephine was a murderer, drug abuser, alcoholic, promiscuous teenager, and mentally ill, but she was a mother. She was charged with the responsibility of a child and before that child, six others. The first six escaped, either to other lives or an afterlife. She gave birth to her last child at the age of twenty two. This would be the child who felt responsibility for the parent, a desire to keep her safe, concern for her welfare. Sabine is a child with a constant yearning to know who she is and where she fits. This child would have a gift. The story is Josephine's and the family before her, but the burden falls on the child with the gift, the child with the yearning, Sabine. This coming of ...
