Nicodemus Tessin the Younger was one of the great European architects of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. His whole career, however, was limited to his native country Sweden. This edition of the catalogue of his collection, the first edition of a grand series entitled “Catalogue des Livres, Estampes & Desseins,” intends to finally introduce Tessin to a foreign public. Following an interfoliated, facsimile of the catalogue, this edition also includes extracts of Tessin’s letters to his son, expressing his wishes for later collections.

The first monograph on Tham & Videgård Arkitekter, an architectural duo that has become leaders of a new generation of Swedish architects in a mere ten years of working together. Though the pair nods to vernacular Nordic tradition with the use of wood, painted floors and decorative tile, their look is lucid, international and playfully geometric. This volume documents residences, offices, university buildings and schools with dynamic photography, renderings, schematics and models. As Hans Ibelings notes in one of the book's essays say, the team is neither stuck in the functionalist past nor preoccupied with a conceptual image. Printed on special lightweight paper.

Visionary Danish architect Jørn Utzon was just thirty-eight years old when in 1957 he was named the surprise winner of an international competition to design the Sydney Opera House in Australia. His bold design consisting of five performance halls topped by billowing concrete shells clad in ceramic tile is universally recognized as a masterpiece of twentieth-century architecture. While this early triumph brought Utzon worldwide fame, it overshadowed a larger body of work of great importance for modern architecture. Utzon's highly diverse projects around the globe, from the National Assembly in Kuwait and Melli Bank in Tehran, Iran, to the Bagsværd Church and numerous houses in Denmark, are testaments to his belief that modernism need not sacrifice local character to be forward thinking. Organized into six thematic chapters—place, working method, building culture, construction, materiality, and living—Jørn Utzon presents all of his important work as well as many of his lesser-known, though equally important competition entries, furniture designs, and other built projects. Includes extensive notes, index, bibliography and plans and elevations.
