around individual categories of building divided into time segments of about a decade. This approach was chosen because during the period covered by this volume, these categories determined the appearance of architecture and especially the layout of plans. One category of this kind is school construction, which produced specific types of buildings to meet functional needs.
The guide is introduced by a review of changing architectural ideals in the post-war period and of dramatic changes in conditions for architecture that have proved of great importance for the appearance of architecture in our time.
Together, the two guides, with their 1,800 illustrations, provide a concentrated history of architecture in Denmark - the largest of its kind ever published.
