ARKITEKTEN BOOKS

About ARKITEKTEN BOOKS
ARKITEKTEN BOOKS aims to provide english-language presentations of selected themes and projects from the architectural journal ARKITEKTEN.

For almost 125 years, ARKITEKTEN has been documenting developments and paradigm shifts within the architectural profession, its pages giving space to heated debates between fellow architects, coverage of architectural design competitions and reports on significant impulses from near and far. With a content matter spanning from housing crisis, garden cities and planning acts, to Brutalism, youth revolt and low-rise/high-density living, and further to digital rendering and 3D printing, the journal’s columns, photos and drawings offer a unique record of architectural zeitgeist across time and culture.
