If you’ve ever wondered about how the appearance of period buildings may have altered over time, especially in terms of colour, then this volume will be a worthy addition to your bookshelf.
Published jointly by The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and the School of Architecture more than twenty years ago, the book remains just as insightful today, delving into the architectural history of 18th and 19th century Copenhagen and revealing the intrinsic connection between a building’s structure and its original finish. From soft pinks and clay browns to mustard yellows and deep reds, the original colours of this compelling Danish city are reproduced in all their glory here, alongside an overview of how buildings, streets and squares have altered over time.
Look out too for The Colours of Rome, by the same author, acclaimed Danish architect Bente Lange.
