Kay Fisker (1893-1965) is considered one of the most influential Danish architects of the twentieth century, and yet there has existed until now no in-depth English-language study of his works and writing. Published as part of the Bloomsbury Studies in Modern Architecture series, which brings to light the work of significant yet overlooked modernist architects, this book examines Fisker's key projects - from his early railways stations and innovative housing projects to the Danish Academy in Rome - and analyses his work as a historian and writer. Fisker's output is closely associated with the functional tradition, a hybridisation of international modernism and regional architectural typologies, and this book shows how his architectural poetics can be understood as an amalgamation of an ideal order with contingent urban conditions. This concept of a 'contingent order' is not only a valuable context for understanding Fisker, the book argues, it can also be applied to an understanding of modernist architecture as a whole, with its various expressions, agendas and tensions both regionally and internationally

The Artful Plan' explores the potentials of architectural drawing at a turning point where digitization is setting drawing free from its conventional function of conveying technical information. What can architectural drawing be today? What new options does it offer for creativity in design? Which new ways does it open for including knowledge and methods from the arts, academic research and current architectural practice? The Artful Plan lays out the theory and practice of alternative innovation in architectural drawing in three parts: reconfiguring the conventional drawing; drawing responding to the influence of the digital; and the expanded field of drawing today. The contributions comprise many high-quality drawings that are in themselves stunning examples of Artful Plans.

This publication explores a series of urgent questions addressing architecture's role in the welfare and everyday life of citizens, from the interdisciplinary perspectives of architecture, art history and anthropology. With Denmark as a case, it examines how the spatiality of the welfare system has transformed, since the end of the so-called "golden age of the welfare state" in the early 1970s until today. How have these spatial changes impacted upon the everyday lives and welfare experiences of citizens? What happens when long-standing institutions are restructured, dismantled or displaced elsewhere? How do emerging types of welfare space inform (or become informed by) changed understandings of the role of the welfare system in our everyday lives? Rather than unfolding a singular narrative of loss and nostalgia associated with welfare dismantlement (or one of triumphant humanization and restructuring of modernist planned environments), it describes shifting spatial materializations of welfare and the "good life" at the intersection of these two tendencies, under the influence of a Danish version of the neoliberal turn and other important societal transformations. A rich analytical sequence of drawn visualization supplements the book's textual and photographic descriptions of welfare space transformation.

Architecture can be a process of searching for answers, whether in the form of manifestoes, poetics, essays, or physical models or drawings. This book investigates how architects undertake such a search, and perhaps—if the arbitrariness of the process and the directed, reflective effort should coincide happily—discover new paths in the field’s topography. Artistic research has been discussed for decades within architecture and other artistic disciplines. Yet clarification still remains necessary with respect to the relation between art and science, and to such concepts as research and knowledge, to the extent that these stand in relation to artistic research. How can certain practices and methods result in particular types of systematic work? What links can be traced, or can be established, between creative work and interpretive work—that is, among ethics, poetics, and hermeneutics? Refractions—Artistic Research in Architecture consists of a series of essays that investigate the practice that we call artistic research. It also contains interviews with a number of researchers, all of whom have worked within the frame of this concept—and presents visual material that attests to the wide compass of such reflective artistic production.
