This book takes a comprehensive look at the restoration that took place on the building when the Danish Institute in Damascus took over the house in 1997. This process revealed not only how beautiful the house was but that it contains fine examples of the most important periods of the exterior and the interior architectural history of Damascus.

This beautiful, often breathtakingly lavish architecture and interiors of Sweden between the 1600s and the early 1800s have been among the art world’s best-kept secrets. Overshadowed by the high-profile splendors of Italy and France, and studied and chronicled almost entirely in Swedish, Sweden’s majestic palaces, stately manor houses, and tapestry-like gardens have seemed as remote as the Nordic country itself. Art historian Cederlund introduces the genius of Sweden’s architects, designers, and builders in this book. Presented are such path breakers as Nicodemus Tessin the Younger and Carl Hårleman and the ambitious, discerning monarchs and aristocrats who commissioned their work. Learn how Sweden’s architects and designers mined antique and contempoary southern Europe for styles, techniques, and even artisans: how such marvels as the Royal Palace in Stockholm, Drottningholm, King Gustav III’s beloved Haga took shape and acquired their uniquely Swedish stamp. Step into the rich interiors where Sweden’s kings and their consorts received state visitors, stored and displayed treasures, wrote letters and studied science, and laid their heads to sleep. Plans and elevations included.

Coming from a theoretically rooted postmodern narrative style, 3 x Nielsen have developed into one of the Danish architectural firms able to express themselves with the greatest clarity of idea. And in time, their grasp of projects, their pragmatic, architectural and artistic processing have replaced their youthful ideological manifestos. It is from this point that the story in this book begins. Among many projects completed: Royal Danish Embassy, Berlin; Holstebro Courthouse, FIH Headquarter, Danish Film Insstitute, Ebeltoft Glass Museum and many more in Copenhagen. Plans and elevations included.

The seventeen buildings presented in this book employ wood in a variety of ways. Some apply completely new solutions, while others rely on tradition. Structural uses range from glued timber and laminates to solid logwork. Battens, boards, sheeting, even shingles, are used for covering and cladding purposes. The surface of wood is protected with many techniques from painting and heat treatment to natural greying. Functionally, the buildings have both public and private uses. They include cultural facilities, churches, schools, homes and leisure cabins. Common to all these buildings is confidence in the properties of wood and the desire to develop construction in wood as an integral part of our environment. Plans and elevations included.

This book is an affectionate account of this unique Swedish red paint pigment, which can only be found in the Falun Mine in Sweden. Here, for the first time in book form, the entire production process, from raw material and red paint pigment to paint boiling is described in detail. The story of the Falun Mine emerges from the subterranean darkness of the 17th century mining chambers and out into the light of a new millennium. Margareta Kjellin has assembled some of the century’s most prominent writers and experts in the areas of technology, architecture, art, research and cultural history to comment on their experiences and first acquaintanceship with this special red color, and through her photographs, the artist Nina Ericson adds her own interpretation of Falun Red Paint.
