Bayt Al-‘Aqqad is one of 23 buildings that is part of the UNESCO World Heritage programme in old Damascus. 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. Beautiful tile and marble work, murals and plans and elevations are included. In the back of the book are fold-out plans of the building.

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.

This book promotes an interdisciplinary research approach operating in a field situated between architecture, aesthetics, philosophy and urban ecology. The book propagates a break with the all-too-prevalent way of thinking within which the environmental requirements in construction have a tendency to derail any trace of architectonic quality. Ecological Reflections in Architecture inverts this perspective, since the environmental ways of presenting the problem are regarded from an architectonic point of view; the book takes its point of departure in architecture. Claus Bech-Danielsen, born in 1961, was educated at The School of Architecture in Aarhus. The book is based on his doctoral thesis and on his investigative work at Danish Building Research Institute.

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.
