Bookcase
Weighty and beautifully packaged, this monograph collects the works of one of the faces of the New Nordic movement, Reiulf Ramstad Architects. First and foremost it is a wholehearted and affectionate tribute to Reiulf Ramstad and his particular brand of architecture, as well as to his commitment to what he calls his “search for beauty”.

Dramatically placed a few meters above terrain overlooking the Øresund strait, Denmark’s new national aquarium in Copenhagen, The Blue Planet, stands as a connecting link between land and sea.
