The author has followed the development of French architecture since the legendary rebellion in Paris in May 1968. Twenty-one years later an urban planning strategy emerged in parallel with the “les grands projects” which was called the “pieces urbaines” method, it welcomes the dynamism and natural fragmentation of the city as an alternative to total solutions. Coupled with flexibility and openness to diversity, unity becomes the goal of a process fuelled by creative challenge, rather than simplistic problem solving. The author draws on the works of 4 well-known architects to illustrate the method: Henri Ciriani, Henri Gaudin, Jean-Pieerre Buffi and Christian de Portzamparc, all distinctive personalities in the the theory and practice of architecture.

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.

The book’s purpose is to identify, analyse and make accessible a number of outstanding works from a neglected period in the history of architecture. The author, who is both an architect and excellent photographer, gives an account of the architectural ideals and realities in St. Petersburg in the first half of the 20th century. The aim is to present a picture of what by Danish standards is a paradoxical and quite fascinating era in the history of architecture, one when political ambitions were almost inversely proportional to economic resources. 51 striking buildings have been selected - presented is the collection of material which took place on site, comprising of photographs of the individual buildings, architectural drawings and analyses of the buildings. Register of buildings and architects included.

Summer cottages are an important part of the Finnish lifestyle and identity, and Finland has become the leading country in the world for the number of summer homes in proportion to the size of the population. The book presents 27 summer villas and 17 saunas in Finland, from the marine archipelago via the lake district to the fells of the north - a total of 44 individually designed buildings that represent the best of recent Finnish summer home and sauna architecture. The sites differ from each other in interesting ways, ranging from simple log cabins to millionaire’s villas. Each site is presented in detail through photographs, drawings and texts by the architects themselves. The book is intended for anyone who is interested in summer villas, cottages, and saunas; for their owners, or for those who dream of owning one as well as designers and students in the field. This is a beautifully photographed book.
