‘Spaces. Objects. People’
Thick, perfect-bound and comprising Scandi aesthetics, well-established title Ark Journal brings together architecture, design and art to show how the different disciplines interact.
This latest edition revolves around the notion of creative obsession which, in their words, has the potential of ‘elevating both the creator and the creation to something timeless, profound and beautifully enduring’. Timelessness certainly links a number of features; an in-depth interview with famed 91-year old architect Álvaro Siza, the restorations of a 1930s Danish beach home and a Phillip Johnson's Hodgson House, and a collection of Poul Kjærholm's furniture in a Kyoto gallery.
Plus, an insert dedicated to Brodie Sessions, a platform connecting music and architectural space.
