BOOK:Vibrations,Hatje Cantz Publications

From its foundation in 1985, Lundgaard & Tranberg Architects have gained renown through participation in competitions and the realization of a wide range of projects. The office has also taken part in a series of research and pilot building projects focused on the improvement of building products and processes, with a concentration on sustainable housing. In addition to being known for innovative and original architecture, the office has established a reputation for leadership and collaboration in project realization. Some architects can evoke places that vibrate with a special intense atmosphere. In the monograph “Vibrations- A Portrait of Houses Designed by Lundgaard & Tranberg Architects” by Hatje Cantz Publications, the author Karsten R.S. Ifversen elaborates on the art of making architecture vibrate on the spot, in people and in time. He explains how these buildings have made Lundgaard & Tranberg amongst the most important Danish architects of our time. Also noted is that the 150 illustrations of the book are by Jens Markus Lindhe, who was originally educated as an architect and is Denmark’s most notable architecture photographer.-Dimitris Lempesis
