This book aims at contributing to contemporary investigations and discussions around Nordic Perspectives. It is a critical study concerning architectural history and theory and the significance of the legacy of Danish architectural master Jørn Utzon (1918-2008). Inside the book, the reader will find a selection of fourteen buildings and building complexes built in the second half of the 20th century critically re-addressed through drawings, physical models, and academic essays developed alongside a series of teaching and research activities. Seven of these projects were selected due to their relationship with an import of architectural production to Denmark, while the remaining seven are significant due to an export of architectural production from Denmark, relating to the fact that a large part of Utzon's practice took place abroad.

Jernalderens guldbrakteater er et velkendt arkæologisk materiale. Bogen præsenterer læseren for en række karakteristiske billedtemaer og analyser af guldbrakteaternes udviklingshistorie i Skandinavien. Under inspiration af Asger Jorns kunstneriske syn på brakteaternes billedverden anskues de som billeder i deres egen ret. Med forfatterens baggrund i både kunsthistorie og arkæologi lykkes det at bygge bro mellem to fagområder og gennemføre et originalt og inspirerende tværfagligt studium. Eigi Einhamr - Jernalderens guldbrakteater og den åbne krop som form er udgivet af Jysk Arkæologisk Selskab i samarbejde med Holstebro Kunstmuseum med støtte fra Ny Carlsbergfondet.
