Dear Reader Welcome to our 2007-08 book catalogue. In the autumn of 2007 we published Fun City. The aim of the book is through case studies to encircle the consequenses of the ”Disneyfication” of our cities. At the end of 2007 we published Danish Architecture since 1754, a new, updated and revised edition of 250 years of Danish Architecture. Architect Lars Marcussen’s 20 years of research on the human perception of space and the historical development of spatial ideas from the earliest times until the present, has resulted in the book The Architecture of space – the Space of Architecture. The book offers a broad account of the cultural history of space, and of the history of architecture in this light. Simply an exciting book! The long awaited book by professor, architect Nils-Ole Lund on Nordic Architecture since World War II will be published for the first time in English in 2008. The book is a survey of the architecture in Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Finally I want to draw your attention to Sketches – A Tribute to Jørn Utzon, which was published as a celebration of Jørn Utzon’s 90th birthday. This book contains a large number of Jørn Utzon’s sketches, many of which have never been published before. Furthermore the book contains greetings and sketches from architects worldwide, including Tadao Ando, Glenn Murcutt, Steven Holl, Henning Larsen and many others. The Danish Architectural Press hopes that you will enjoy the hours spent in the company of our books. Managing Director Sanne Wall-Gremstrup

A Tribute to Jørn Utzon April 9th Jørn Utzon turns 90 and even though the architect probably would prefer to avoid too much fuss, we have taken the liberty of producing this publication. And with good reason, when we asked a number of Utzon’s colleagues if they would send a sketch and a birthday greeting, they poured in from all over the world. That’s the way it goes when one thinks, draws and builds as Jørn Utzon has done.
Ed: Martin Keiding 96 pages, 23 x 31 cm, paperback with flaps, illustrated ISBN 978-87-7407-387-1 Price 159 DKK. excl. Vat.
The thought and the line are the chief concerns in this publication. The sketches and texts received meet Jørn Utzons own sketches, which the editors have selected among a great number of drawings that have been scanned and registered at The Danish Architectural Press. Several of the sketches are published for the first time in this publication.
Assistant research professor Michael Asgaard Andersen writes about Utzon’s sketches; from the early, first lines, which live their own lives, till the house, the chair or the boat takes form in the artist’s head – and on paper. The effect of Jørn Utzon’s work, the ideas and the buildings’ universal impact and importance today are interpreted by Steven Holl, Henning Larsen, Rafael Moneo, Lene Tranberg, Tadao Ando, Glenn Murcutt, Tobias Faber, Richard Leplastrier, Jan Søndergaard, Juhani Pallasmaa and Tony Fretton. The Danish Architectural Press is also making an exclusive poster of one of Jørn Utzons early sketches of the Sydney Opera House. (See below) The poster will be available from mid April in selected bookstores. And on our web shop. Congratulations Jørn Utzon!

This book presents the private houses that Utzon built and dreamt of building, but never finished. Beginning with the first house in Hellebæk built in 1951, over the never accomplished house in Bayview, Australia up to his final house, Can Feliz in Mallorca built in 1994, all demonstrating the originality and understanding of a location’s requisites and traditions, which has won Utzon worldwide fame. ‘Utzons own houses’ contains a number of drawings that have never been published before including the four drafts for a house in Bayview that never got past the drawing stage due to the fact that the architect had already left Australia before the authorities approved the project. The book contains photographs by Søren Kuhn.

Poul Kjærholm is without question one of the greatest personalities within Danish furniture design of the post-war period. He is perhaps the furniture designer who has, more than anyone, uncompromisingly searched for a simplification and purification of all superfluity. Kjærholm’s work stands out, it survives the test of time and becomes timeless. Through Poul Kjærholm’s preparation of materials, clear distinction and linkage between construction elements, and his reductions in thickness of materials to an absolute minimum, he created furniture whose elegance is without comparison in Danish furniture design. Kjærholm’s production is without comparison and is Danish design at its very best. This title is available in German, English & Danish.

This is the book on one of the finest ceramists today, Jane Reumert. Her work is the result of an unusual development process that in other professions would be called research. With unique persistence, she has gradually evolved eggshell thin materials. The porcelain body has a translucency that, in Jane Reumert’s hands possesses a curious magic in everything from her little shells and oversized, inconceivably thin salt-glazed pieces to her collages embedded in fibreglass.

Danish Architecture Since 1754 In 1754, the Academy of Fine Arts, was founded in Copenhagen for the study of art and architecture. This is the story of the development in Danish architecture from 1754 until today. In its own way, Denmark has managed to make original contributions to European architecture, ranging from Eigtved's Amalienborg scheme, C.F. Hansen's play with Roman classicism, M.G. Bindesbøll’s mysterious Thorvaldsen's Museum to Utzon's organic structuralism and Tegnestuen Vandkunsten's renewal of housing forms. This concise and carefully organized history of architecture will be enjoyed by both students of architecture, architects as well as laymen with an interest in architecture.

The Architecture of Space – the Space of Architecture A Historical survey
Lars Marcussen 550 pages, 21 x 27 cm, clothbound, illustrated. ISBN: 978 87 7407 348 2 Price: 479 DKK excl. Vat. Publicationdate: April 2nd 2008
The Architecture of Space – The Space of Architecture is about the human perception of space and the historical development of spatial ideas from the earliest times untill the present; a development that has been manifested in a profusion of cultural phenomena from paintings and buildings to geometry and astronomy. This book offers a broad account of the cultural history of space, and of the history of architecture in this light. It is the point of the book that the cultural process thus has an inherent dynamic that has a driven development forward from a natural base level through levels on increasing complexity. This evolutionist view of culture and history has long been in miscredit in
leading academic circles. In order to clarify the problems it is compared in the book to relevant aspects of the Frenchman Gilles Deleuze’s philsophy, which has played an important role in 1990s for the humanities and the social sciences, and for important movements in architecture and art. Lars Marcussen (born 1935) graduated as an architect from the School of Architecture of the Royal Danish Academy of Art in 1961 as a pupil of Professor Erik Christian Sørensen. Since 1968 and untill his retirement in 2005 he has been associated with the school as a researcher and a teacher. Throughout the years Lars Marcussen’s research has concentrated on the issue of development, partly in the context of the developing countries, and partly in the field of the history of architecture and culture as presented in this book.

Fun City Once the blues guitarist B.B. King sang that "when he didn’t wanna live no more, he would go shopping instead".

Jensen, Hans Kiib, Lasse Andersson, Julie Holck, Boris Brorman Jensen, Christian Broen, Anne Ring Petersen and Mette Mechlenborg. 279 pages, 24 x 17 cm, paperback, illustrated. ISBN: 978 87 7407 375 8 Price: 224 DKK excl. Vat.
Today shopping has become a way of living, and though shopping malls are privately owned spaces, they function as public domains, i.e. spaces for social and cultural interaction. The city of today has become ‘Disneyfied’ and ‘Tivolized’. Silos, chimneys and sooty facades are disappearing from the cityscape, and harbour swimming baths, artificial beaches, sidewalk cafés, skating rinks, climbing-walls etc. electrify the life of the city. The City has become a scene of events.
The aim of this book is to encircle and pin down the consequences of these developments, to elucidate the interplay between funscapes and fear culture, and to account for the meaning of new concepts and new phenomena such as ‘event culture,’ ‘urban scenography,’ ‘experience economy,’ ‘city branding’ and ‘cultural branding.’ A number of cases refer to Danish cities, but the urban horizon – or skyline – is widened by cases such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Barcelona, Bangkok, Las Vegas, Malmø, Toronto and Wolfsburg.

The idea of this book originated in the 1950’s by the internationally renowned landscape architect, C.Th. Sørensen (1893-1979), who never completed the project but left a detailed outline and a series of notes on the most important gardens. More than 50 years later, landscape
architect, Sven-Ingvar Andersson (1927-2007) and art historian, Margrethe Floryan finished this dream of a book. The book takes us from Tsaskoe Selo, the Garden of the Czars in St. Petersburg to Villa Lante, North of Rome, and to Danish gardens such as, Frederiksberg Have. The reproductions are in the highest quality imaginable.

The book describes the ecological challenges that modern architecture is facing today. Environmental changes are a fact and to avoid ecological catastrophes in the future, this must be reflected in the architecture. The architectural quality has previously been set aside due to environmental considerations why the purpose of this book is to combine urban ecology, architecture, aesthetics and philosophy.
Claus Bech-Danielsen, born in 1961, was educated at the School of Architecture in Aarhus and this book is based on his doctoral thesis and on his investigative work at the Danish Building Research Institute. The book has received "The European Sun-Prize".
