Copenhagen's best new architecture is about people. The playing and making an effort to make room for us to express ourselves. Buildings steps aside and p aga space or drag them over themselves and provide new experiences of how life and nature in the city can be. Over the last twenty years the port derelict industrial buildings have been replaced by large cultural centers, commercial properties and homes. New bridges and canals, a metro and new neighborhoods combine to create the image of a restored city that opens onto the water and nature. Established studios and architects Lundgaard and Tranberg, Jean Nouvel and Henning Larsen has created significant cultural centers, while new offices as BIG, COBE and NORD has changed the way we use city. Man bathing in the port rudder on the water and exercise in the parks. BY generous giving through photography by Jens Lindhe and lyrics by Karsten RS Ifversen a critical insight into Copenhagen intense development, the most important projects and introduces drawing offices and the ideas that created them. It's about how buildings and urban encounters surroundings, adapts to the climate and supports the life they are meant to be hit around. Generous BY tells the story of Copenhagen change by showing what the city's great architecture does well and its self-sufficient projects do bad.

Through a constructive way of looking at the timing of architecture, the author explores the myths of a critical history. These ideas are made more concrete and specific by localising the inquiry into a forgotten building outside Helsinki, Espoonlahti Church (1980), by architects Timo and Tuoma Suomalainen. To stimulate reflection on these issues, exploring the circumstances of this ignored building, this virtually ignored pair of architects, the book tries to sketch out new points of contact between the ordinary and exuberant, between history and criticism, between reason and faith, between dis-encouragement and propoganda, between grace and architecture.

With today's ecological imperatives, contemporary architecture faces its greatest challenges since Modernism. In 2009, Denmark hosted an international summit on climate and sustainability. The Louisiana Museum supported this event with a major exhibition, The Future Has Arrived: Architecture for a Sustainable World, the second show in the series The Frontiers of Architecture. This exhibition catalogue presents a spectrum of new visions for sustainable global development, based upon the three parameters of economy, environment and social change, with essays by German architect Wilfried Wang, Danish philosopher Ole Thyssen and interviews with Ecosistema Urbano, Foster & Partners, Philippe Rahm and R&Sie(n).

In 1960, the post-war period, architecture in Denmark underwent dramatic changes. Volume 2 includes about 330 houses with almost 1000 illustrations. The guide is divided into 3 periods and takes as its subject categories of building whose function dictates special planning and expression. This guide is arranged thematically; individual categories of building are divided into time segments of about a decade. Housing, single-family houses, educational facilities, churches, cultural centers, sports facilities, social welfare and medical facilities--all are discussed here. The guide is supplemented with a comprehensive index and eight maps, which mean that the books may also be used as travel-guides.
