Inaugurated in 1917, this school was Sweden’s largest and most complex educational institution at the time. The architect chosen to design the building was the school’s own professor Erik Lallerstedt. For the interior decor, he hired the top artists of the time. This book documents the history of the school and the large renovation of the main building, completed in 1996 and documented by a renowned photographer of architecture, Åke E:son Lindman while Pia Ulin provides an insider’s view of student life occuring in the newly painted corridors of the school today. With commentary on architecture and technical history by specialist Staffan Nilsson and an interactive tour by Sten Kaiser on the included cd-rom, this book provides readers with the opportunity to tour through the rooms in the main building while learning about every aspect of the evolution of this renowned learning institution.

The human being was at the center of Danish modernism. Traditional craftsmanship and a high degree of quality influenced both its design and its architecture. Alongside the construction of numerous groundbreaking public buildings, the 1950s and 60s saw the design of many single-family homes based on an aesthetic that focused on truth to materials, honesty in construction and the reduction of form. Built of wood and brick and with practical, informal floor plans and large glass surfaces that opened up the interior of the house to nature, the best of these homes still fulfill their tasks to this day. Landmark: The Modern House in Denmark is a compendium of selected buildings examined in detail, including icons such as Utzon House by Jørn Utzon, Arne Jacobsen's Siesby House and the Bøgh Andersen House by Jørgen Bo and Vilhelm Wohlert. It includes new, full-color photographs that document the buildings as well as discussions on the history of each one's design and construction.

The landscape architecture of the Nordic countries is just as appealing for its aesthetics and high quality as modern Scandinavian architecture. Danish and Swedish landscape architects already numbered among the European avantgarde in the fist half of the last century. While Spain, France and The Netherlands were moving into the focus of interest in recent decades, a new generation of Scandinavian designers created remarkable landscape architecture - with different emphasis in the individual countries.
