The city of Brno holds a crucial place in Czechoslovakian avant-garde architecture, and in the “ ˜20s and “ ˜30s became an architectural metropolis, linked with the pioneering works of Bohuslav Fuchs and the works of the Functionalist school. This catalogue sheds light on the conditions that made this architectural golden age possible, and illuminates the work of some less well-known, but worthy figures in modern architecture in addition to Mies van der Rohe.

Employing the talents of engineers, architects, city planners, and others, the art of bridge building is in essence a collaborative effort. Because the building of bridges inherently deals with conforming to a pre-existing environment, this exhibition highlights the fact that bridges themselves are alike while their locations are markedly different. Drawing from models, drawings, and existing bridges from both past and present, this book provides unparalleled insight into this art form that is truly unique. The innovative work of Santiago Calatrava is juxtaposed to past bridge-building in order to emphasize the startling range of possibilities in this field.

To illustrate this issue, the editors have chosen as the theme small and medium scale housing developments. This choice responds to the particular conditions under which the society works: in Denmark housing is legally a civil right and the State is obliged to provide a place to live for each inhabitant. Also the design characteristic of being participative with the future users. These conditioning factors create an unusual context which deserves to be studied through the various examples given.

Europe has two seas stretching from east to west: the Mediterranean and the Baltic. The former is bright and blue, smells of lemons and wine and is, according to traditional wisdom, the cradle of European history. The latter is the less favoured sister. It smells of tar and hemp, is dark and sombre, with endless winters in which everything dies. Only the short, fragile summers give a little life and light to those heavily forested parts of Europe. This book takes us on a journey to these ancient shores and brings it’s fairy-tale castles to life. Includes practical information for the visitor to these castles in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, the Baltic countries not to forget St. Petersburg. Glossary.
