Vandkunsten

€60.00

Since 1970, Tegnestuen Vandkunsten has been a pioneering force in Danish architecture and urban planning, championing climate-conscious and socially-driven design. Rooted in counterculture and a critique of poor housing quality, Vandkunsten introduced an informal architectural approach that prioritised community and sustainability. From low-rise housing movements to innovative urban plans that seamlessly blend landscape and city, the firm has consistently placed life between buildings at the heart of design. Today, their work focuses on transforming existing structures and timber construction, both in Denmark and internationally. This book offers a comprehensive portrait through essays, interviews, sketches, models, and previously unpublished material — capturing an era that Vandkunsten helped shape.
