Global Danish Architecture 2

GD #2 HOUSING includes a panorama of current Danish residential architecture and housing typologies from 2000 and onwards. The book features blocks of flats, international housing residences, park type housing, terraced houses, as well as one-family houses by 20 of the most prominent and trendsetting Danish architectural studios. These include architectural studios such as COBE, JDS Architects, Kjaer and Richter Arkitekter, along with Lundgaard and Tranbjerg Architects.

 

REVIEW

Some of the best architectural publications today are hybrid book-journals sometimes called 'bookazines', the most well-known being the Spanish Journal EL Croquis. So it's no surprise that the richest and most rewarding of the Scandinavian volumes on my desk are such hybrids, namely two of the Global Danish Architecture series, edited by Marianne Ibler. The first volume #1 , has a wide variety of building types by an equally wide range of offices, large and small, while the second #2, focuses entirely on housing created by Danish Firms.
