Book Synopsis The Danish Country House by : John Erichsen
Download or read book The Danish Country House written by John Erichsen and published by Museum Tusculanum Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Denmark s many manors are a treasure trove of natural and cultural riches. In addition to the scenic beauty and magnificent architecture they have to offer, they also stand as monuments to more than five centuries of Danish history. The landscapes and buildings of Denmark s manors offer an enchanting foray into a fascinating universe, animating the country s cultural heritage. Denmark s famous fairytale author Hans Christian Andersen and the internationally renowned storyteller Isak Dinesen were both fascinated by the unique atmosphere of the Danish country house, which as their fairytales and stories reveal was a lasting source of inspiration in their writings. Also today, the cultural and natural environment of the manor continues to appeal to the heart and soul, opening the eyes of the readers to the multifaceted splendours. This beautifully designed book provides the reader with the key to understanding and experiencing this cultural heritage. More than one hundred of Denmark s seven hundred manors are now partially or wholly open to the public. This book is your guide to them all. Two hundred beautiful photographs, many of them by the acclaimed photographer Roberto Fortuna, accompany the texts on the manors. The work is prefaced by H.R.H. the Prince Consort of Denmark and also includes a chapter on the Danish nobility by the Historian Ditlev Tamm. "
Book Synopsis Global Goods and the Country House by : Jon Stobart
Download or read book Global Goods and the Country House written by Jon Stobart and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2023-11-20 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global goods were central to the material culture of eighteenth-century country houses. Across Europe, mahogany furniture, Chinese wallpapers and Indian textiles formed the backdrop to genteel practices of drinking sweetened coffee, tea and chocolate from Chinese porcelain. They tied these houses and their wealthy owners into global systems of supply and the processes of colonialism and empire. Global Goods and the Country House builds on these narratives, and then challenges them by decentring our perspective. It offers a comparative framework that explores the definition, ownership and meaning of global goods outside the usual context of European imperial powers. What were global goods and what did they mean for wealthy landowners in places at the ‘periphery’ of Europe (Sweden and Wallachia), in the British colonies of North America and the Caribbean, or in the extra-colonial context (Japan or Rajasthan)? By addressing these questions, this volume offers fresh insights into the multi-directional flow of goods and cultures that enmeshed the eighteenth-century world. And by placing these goods in their specific material context - from the English country house to the princely palaces of Rajasthan - we gain a better understanding of their use and meaning, and of their role in linking the global and the local.

Book Synopsis Jørn Utzon, Houses in Fredensborg by : Tobias Faber
Download or read book Jørn Utzon, Houses in Fredensborg written by Tobias Faber and published by Axel Menges. This book was released on 1991 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jorn Utzon's international reputation is based on imaginative monumental buildings like the Sydney Opera House and the Kuwait Parliament Building, yet his domestic architecture also forms an important part of his work. The Fredensborg estate is still the finest postwar housing in Denmark--both architecturally and in human terms. From an early age Utzon was interested in the relationship between human beings and their environment--houses, gardens and the immediate neighbourhood. Drawing upon the vernacular architecture of southern Europe, North Africa, China and his native Denmark, he built two extraordinary groups of courtyard houses: the Kingo houses in Helsingor (1956-60) and the houses in Fredensborg (1962/63). Courtyard houses offer maximum privacy and protection from a windy climate. When combined with a community centre, as at Fredensborg, they satisfy the human need not only for privacy but also for fellowship. The houses in Fredensborg were built as attractive retirement homes for Danish citizens who had spent long periods abroad. The charming sloping site is surrounded by woods and fields and forms a beautiful background to the exuberant range of cubic buildings, which are grouped like the fingers of a hand. Built in yellow brick, with stepped gables and powerful chimneys, each of the 77 houses is strongly individual and bears the personal stamp of the occupants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International bestseller As seen in The Wall Street Journal--from free play to cozy together time, discover the parenting secrets of the happiest people in the world What makes Denmark the happiest country in the world--and how do Danish parents raise happy, confident, successful kids, year after year? This upbeat and practical book presents six essential principles, which spell out P-A-R-E-N-T: Play is essential for development and well-being. Authenticity fosters trust and an "inner compass." Reframing helps kids cope with setbacks and look on the bright side. Empathy allows us to act with kindness toward others. No ultimatums means no power struggles, lines in the sand, or resentment. Togetherness is a way to celebrate family time, on special occasions and every day. The Danes call this hygge--and it's a fun, cozy way to foster closeness. Preparing meals together, playing favorite games, and sharing other family traditions are all hygge. (Cell phones, bickering, and complaining are not!) With illuminating examples and simple yet powerful advice, The Danish Way of Parenting will help parents from all walks of life raise the happiest, most well-adjusted kids in the world.
