About the Book

Danish Landscape practice Schonherr meditates upon architecture's connection to beauty and its ability to enrich everyday life while strengthening our relationship to history, context, and place within From Spaces to Places, the practice's first full-length publication. Unraveling around the Danish concept of 'skonhed' - roughly translated to the 'beautiful life' - this book is a powerful yet stoic observation on the role of aesthetics within Danish culture, both built and impressionistic, urban and rural. Schonherr takes readers through inner-city installation projects such as the PIECE bench in Copenhagen to the practice's extensive work in Aarhus, which includes The Forest (2010), The City Park (2012), The Plaza (2014), and Bishops Square (2016). Developed on the occasion of the annual Aarhus Festival – the largest cultural festival Denmark – these projects temporarily transform the streets and parks into extraordinary public spaces, changing the natural topography of the city to attract citizens and bring them together. In addition to these more performative projects, Schonherr has contributed to the timeless re-integration and democratisation of religious and infrastructural sites including the Ribe Cathedral and Aarhus train station, using pattern, colour, and material to merge the historical with the sensational, maintaining a minimal yet distinct tactic of intervention that reflects on the practice's commitment to pursuing truth through architecture. From Spaces to Places invokes the language of aesthetics that Schonherr has developed over the course of its 20-year practice in order to seamlessly re-instate history and cultural memory with contemporary life; crisis management with environmental efficiency; and the spectacular with the everyday. This book celebrates Schonherr's ability to harmonise infrastructural, systematic, and regulatory design with a timeless Danish aesthetic that reflects the ideology of the social-democratic culture in which these places have come into being. From Spaces to Places is as much about the social fabric of cities at large as it is about a unique practice's experience shaping the cultural landscape of Copenhagen and beyond. 232 colour and b/w illustrations
