內容簡介: |
This book celebrates established icons, newly discovered gems
and contemporary masterworks that represent the highest expression
of Scandinavian design and response to their environment. Fifty
projects are featured in detail, ordered according to the way in
which different light conditions have imparted particular qualities
on the buildings. Henry Plummer treats his subject from a uniquely
authoritative perspective in which his words resonate directly with
his artfully taken images. Books that give a true sense of the
magical light that have shaped great buildings are rare: this is a
publication to savour. Nine chapters present established icons,
newly discovered gems and contemporary masterworks, according to
the way in which different light conditions have imparted
particular qualities to buildings. Among the buildings featured are
Arne Jacobsens town hall in Arhus, Denmark, Alvar Aaltos Villa
Mairea in Finland, Klas Anshelms Malmo Konsthall in Sweden, and
many others. Each chapter features an introduction, which traces
the nature, quality and cultural history of that aspect of
light.
