In November 1998, one of the greatest Danish building projects in recent years opened, the addition to Statens Museum for Kunst. It is a building addition with a long history. Already in 1902, the museum complained over insufficient space, but almost 100 years was to pass before an addition could be realized. This book is about the first museum, Dahlerup’s museum, the numerous curators’ problems, the competition in 1992, the realization of the project and an evaluation of the result. The leading characters are also portrayed: The building project’s architect, Anna Maria Indrio, and the museum curator, Allis Helleland.

In recent years, many Nordic architects have returned to the materials used by their modernist forbearers (Alvar Aalto, Arne Jacobsen, Erik Gunnar Asplund, Jørn Utzon)--materials such as brick, pine, granite and concrete--developing a new regionialist idiom for Norway that has garnered much acclaim around the world. New Nordic Architecture & Identity offers a critical exploration of the current global interest in Nordic-ness, attempting to determine whether certain special “Nordic” features recur in architecture, and whether this involves a fundamental formal idiom that is regularly reinterpreted. Is there a Nordic architectural identity? And if so, how has this Nordic identity developed in relation to the rest of the world? This volume looks at buildings by Snøhetta, Jarmund/Vignaes, Lassila Hirvilammi, Johan Celsing, Lundgaard & Tranberg, Bjarke Ingels Group and Studio Granda, highlighting their new uses of “traditional” Nordic materials.
