Steen Estvad Petersen beskriver arkitekturens vandring over landegrænser gennem århundreder - fra land til land, fra kontinent med udgangspunkt i en række spektakulære bygningsværker. Danske arkitektur er i fokus nu mere end nogensinde. Dansk arkitekter på stribe vinder konkurrencer om byggerier over alt i verden, og vice versa udenlandske arkitekter vinder konkurrencer om byggerier i Danmark. Arkitektoniske ideer vandrer frem og tilbage over landegrænserne og har sat sig mange spor før såvel som nu. Et stadig tilbagevendende tema i arkitekturhistorien er: hvor kommer ideerne fra, hvem fik dem og hvad førte dem over store afstande for til sidst at ende hos os? Forfatteren Steen Estvad Petersen har sat sig for at spore denne ideernes vandring, et detektivarbejde der fører ham vidt omkring i verden - fra vikingernes ringborge over middelalderens kirker, renæssancens borge og byplaner, barokkens og romantikkens havekunst og industrialismens arkitektur - til modernismens gennembrud omkring år 1900 og frem til den danske arkitekturkanon 2006.

In Gunnar Asplund’s Gothenburg, Nicholas Adams places Asplund’s building in the wider context of public architecture between the wars, setting the originality and sensitivity of Asplund’s conception against the political and architectural struggles of the 1930’s. Today, looking at the building in the broadest of contexts, we can appreciate the richness of this exquisite work of architecture. This book recaptures the complex magic of its creation and the fascinating controversy of its completed form. Includes extensive notes.
