Vibrations narrates from within and around buildings. Through works by the Danish drawing office Lundgaard & Tranberg Architects, the architecture editor of the newspaper Politiken, Karsten R.S. Ifversen, examines the art of making architecture vibrate on the spot, in human beings and with its time. With a philosophical gaze and in clear language, he answers the question: What makes good architecture? To examine this, Ifversen attempts to grasp what it is about Lundgaard & Tranberg that makes them the most influential Danish drawing office of our time. In the foreword, Karsten R.S. Ifversen writes: “They take their point of departure in a Nordic tradition and the conditions of the place, but their will to renew architecture transcends the merely local and places them in a class with some of the world’s leading drawing offices.”

Shaped by navigation, trade, and warfare, the Aland Islands, the westernmost archipelago of more than 300 habitable islands between Sweden and Finland, are home to some of the oldest churches in Finland. Churches are the only buildings in the Åland Islands to have been in continuous use since the Middle Ages, yet no one really knows how old they are. There are no medieval sources or written records that shed light on the building history of the churches. Yet the churches themselves, with their fittings and decorative ornamentations, medieval wooden sculptures, and wall paintings, are the most important source of knowledge about the medieval history of the Åland Islands. The Voice of the Åland Churches presents the history of these wonderfully preserved places of worship through architectural, art historical, and archaeological studies. This stunningly beautiful book will appeal to those interested in medieval churches and what they can tell us about medieval life. Includes Glossary, Sources of Illustrations, information on Radiocarbon dating and Calibration.
