Item description from seller

1 quarto volume with brown and white pictorial self-wraps; (unpaged): illustrations (some color), plans; 29 cm. No. 99 of a 1,200 copy print run, as stated on colophon, which also includes a possibe signature (see photo). Elegant binding with handmade paper, sketches and photographs. "The main purpose of the private edition is to let the architect, with his own words and through sketches and drawings, give an account of the difficult and often laborious course from first proposal to final result. Thus an architect's sketch design is not to be considered as a self-contained work of art but as a means of clarifying an architectural idea." --Preface by Anders Nyborg. ? Vilhelm Wohlert was a Danish modernist whose work melded structural clarity with a quiet, almost monastic sense of place. Trained at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and shaped by early collaborations with Kaare Klint, he matured into a designer who treated light, proportion, and material as interdependent elements rather than decorative layers. His most celebrated achievement?the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art at Humleb?k, conceived with J?rgen Bo?became a paradigm of Scandinavian museological architecture: a low, elongated sequence of pavilions that glide across the landscape, drawing nature into the experience of art through glass, timber, and understated geometries. Across his broader oeuvre, including churches, university buildings, and sensitive reconstructions, he cultivated the same disciplined restraint, aiming always for spaces that feel inevitable, serene, and tuned to human scale.| Architects -- Denmark. Architecture, Modern -- 20th century. Mild bump to head of spine. Very mild rubbing to bottom edge and outer corners of covers. Spine is very mildly rolled. Pages and covers clean. Very good(+).
