Guide to Danish Architecture: 1960-1995

Book excerpt: Denmark 1995. In 1960, the post-war period, architecture in Denmark underwent dramatic changes. Volume 2 includes about 330 houses with almost 1000 illustrations. The guide is divided into 3 periods and takes as its subject categories of building whose function dictates special planning and expression. This guide is arranged thematically; individual categories of building are divided into time segments of about a decade. Housing, single-family houses, educational facilities, churches, cultural centers, sports facilities, social welfare and medical facilities-all are discussed here. The guide is supplemented with a comprehensive index and eight maps, which mean that the books may also be used as travel-guides.
