Bunschoten visited the Aarhus School to conduct a workshop for 180 students entitled “ ˜Stirring the City’ intending to sharpen their attitudes towards the urban question, and to realize the importance of social, economic, and architectural conditions. Bunschoten focuses on the dynamic nature of the city which, in his words, can lead to emergent phenomena such as I. Erasure, the loss of collective memory; II. Origination, the growth of new urban form; III. Transformation of political environments; and IV. Migration, the independent evolution of new social structures. With intriguing photographs, drawings and an innovative layout, this book uses these guidelines to explore the inherent dynamism of all cities.

In words and photographs the aim of the book is to help the reader interpret the City’s patterns and to act as a guide to both its past and present from the Middle Ages until the 1990’s highlighting some of the most famous architects like Asplund, Lewerentz, Markelius and many more. Like the annual rings on the oaks in the Djurgården Royal Park - the City gradually grew as the years passed: the grid-pattern plan of the city, the garden city developments, the post - war multi - family housing suburbs, and the building activity of our own times.

The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts West Indian survey is based on a study trip in 1961 to the former Danish islands of St. Thomas, St. Jan and St. Croix. The purpose of the trip was to survey, draw and photograph buildings that were built while the islands were under Danish control (1671-1917), and particularly during the first half of the 19th century.The authors have during this entire period been very interested in this particular part of the Danish colonial history and made yet another trip in 2001 in order to gather further material for the conclusion of the book. This book portrays the results of this trip, and contains information about the construction and utilisation of the buildings as well as information about their occupants, their owners, and (to some extent) their builders.
