These guide books give an extensive picture of Danish architecture from the year 1000 to the present day. Volume 1 ends when industrial building came to the fore in 1960, when architecture changed radically. The guide is a chronological representation of about 300 individual works, which are illustrated by over 700 illustrations. Professor Jørgen Sestots’s introduction gives a concise overview of the immense period from the castles of the Vikings to modernism. Volume 2 describes works after 1960 and includes about 330 houses with almost 1,000 illustrations. The guide is divided into 3 periods and takes as its subject categories of building whose function dictates special planning and expression. Developments in Danish architecture from the postwar period to today are examined in the introduction. In all, the two volumes comprise 650 pages and give the largest presentation of Danish architecture in the last 15 years. The guides are supplemented with a comprehensive index and eight maps which mean that the books may also be used as travel-guides.

Conceived by the Danish architectural offices of Henning Larsen, Harpa is a new concert hall located at the old harbor of Reykjavik. The concert hall and conference center are home to the national symphony orchestra and the opera, and stand as a symbol of hope, having been successfully completed in spite of the country's debilitating financial crisis. The spectacular entry facade, made of more than 1,000 polygonal glass units modeled after the island's basalt pillars, was created in collaboration with the artist Olafur Eliasson. The glass breaks up the light like a kaleidoscope, so that the broad waters of the harbor, the open sky and the hilly environs are reflected in splendid colors. This publication presents the building from its initial design in 2005 to its completion in May 2011, and demonstrates how nature can help inspire architecture to dematerialize. Additionally this book includes three other concert halls Copenhagen Opera House, the Uppsala Concert and Congress Hall and Palacio de Congresos in Spain all incredibly innovative in design and materials. Includes complete list of music venues and theaters by Henning Larsen Architects.

Mikko Heikkinen and Markku Komonen are the most important architects in post-Aalto Finland. The architects’ characteristic compositions and materials- collages of geometric forms, metal screening, industrial materials, suspending sails, clear and colored glass- are related to the philosophy and aesthetics of minimalist, conceptual, and earth art. They have been widely published throughout Europe and in American trade journals, among the 22 projects featured are the spectacular Finnish Embassy in Washington D.C.; the new McDonald’s Headquarters in Helsinki; the striking Airport Terminal in Rovaniemi; the award-winning Heureka Finnish Science Center in Vantaa; the European Film College in Ebeltoft, Denmark. Includes plans and elevations.
