Since its founding 60 years ago, Henning Larsen Architects has worked from a simple foundational ethos: people come first. A deep curiosity for the world has guided the Danish studio to adapt their approach to Nordic modernism across countless contexts and communities, from the electric cityscapes of Hong Kong and New York to the rugged slopes of the Faroe Islands. In every project from concert venues and schools, to city halls and workspaces Henning Larsen Architects pushes the envelope to encourage social interaction. Instead of looking at architecture as a stand-alone object, the studio treats it as a medium formed for and by the social and environmental systems in and around it.This book presents a selection of the office s recent projects, such as Harpa Reykjavík Concert Hall and Conference Center, Moesgaard Museum, Eystur Town Hall, and the French International School of Hong Kong. Descriptions of the projects, alongside essays by Kent Martinussen of the Danish Architecture Center and architectural historian Hans Ibelings, offer insight into an office that operates at the vanguard of Danish design, always tuned to the needs of our changing world.
Nu kommer de næste to bind i en bogserie om ny dansk arkitektur. Gennem 10 bind vil serien give et vitalt signalement af den nyeste danske arkitektur. Hvert bind udfolder et enkelt bygningsværk og portrætterer derigennem tegnestuen bag. De 10 bygninger repræsenterer desuden 10 aktuelle temaer i tidens arkitekturdebat. Gennem et essay og et dybdegående interview med arkitekten, kommer man helt tæt på. Samtaleformatet vil sikre en uformel beskrivelse, mens essayet vil supplere med baggrundsviden.Moesgaard Museums skrånende taglandskab med græs og mos gør museet til et markant ikon i det historiske landskab. Om sommeren bliver der spillet teater, kørt cykelløb og holdt vikingemarked på taget. Om vinteren transformeres skråningen til Danmarks mest besøgte kælkebakke. Taget er blevet taget i brug på måder, der langt overstiger vores forventninger. Som en invitation fra fortiden rejser museet sig fra den jyske muld og inviterer gæsterne indenfor, hvor udstillingsrummene er designet som terrasser, der åbenbarer sig som lag i en arkæologisk udgravning.
In vielen Psychotherapien geht es irgendwann einmal auch um Sexualitat, selbst wenn sie nicht der Grund fur die Aufnahme der Therapie war. Unser Verhaltnis zum eigenen, aber auch zum Korper eines anderen Menschen wird schnell irritiert, wenn die psychische Balance insgesamt einmal verloren gegangen ist.Missverstandnisse und Unsicherheiten, aber auch biografisch erworbene Schamgefuhle und ubernommene Tabus fuhren in der Sexualitat schnell zu Frustration und Krankung und damit zum Ruckzug oder zur Vermeidung. Psychotherapeutinnen und -therapeuten mussen sich diesem Thema stellen konnen, haben allerdings selbst oft auch keine unverkrampfte Haltung zur Sexualitat.Von wem also liesse sich besser lernen, uber Sex zu sprechen, als von zweien, die tagtaglich mit sexuell verunsicherten Klientinnen und Klienten arbeiten. Ann-Marlene Henning und Ulrich Clement zeigen in diesem Gesprach, wie man sich moglichst gelassen auch ungewohnlichsten sexuellen Vorstellungen und Wunschen nahert, um zu Losungen zu kommen, die beide Seiten eines Paares zufriedenstellen konnen. Nachdem die Vorstellung der Sexualitat als Trieb historisch aufgegeben wurde, geht es heute darum, den Klienten zu vermitteln, dass Sexualitat einem fortwahrenden Aushandeln unterworfen ist - ein Prozess, der auch im Alterwerden einer Beziehung nie zum Stillstand kommt. Also gilt allem voran: Sprechen wir druber

Erakordselt lühikese konklaavi järel valiti kõigi üllatuseks 8. mail 2025 267. paavstiks Robert Francis Prevost. Uus paavst võttis nimeks Leo XIV. Endine misjonär Peruus ja hilisem kuuria teenistuja on tuntud kui rahu ja koostöö saadik, keda iseloomustavad tagasihoidlikkus, sügav usk ja kuulamise oskus. Esimene teda tutvustav raamat avab Leo XIV tõusu Püha Peetruse toolile, heites pilgu päevadele ja otsustele, mis viisid ta maailma mõjukaima vaimuliku ametisse. Autor uurib, millised on selle Ameerika vaimuliku esimesed sammud paavstina ning missugused väljakutsed ootavad teda ees kirikus, mida panevad proovile erinevad suundumused ja usklike võõrandumine. Käsitlus paavst Franciscuse pärandist ja viimastel konklaavidel toimunust aitab mõista, miks just Leo XIV on see, kellest on saamas uue ajastu märk.
When the Hindenburg exploded whispers circulated that it was sabotage, but by whom and why? Why were the survivors declared dead? Birger Lund was horrifically burnt in the flames. But even with a new face and identity he soon realizes he cannot embrace his future without confronting his past.
In 1953 Dag Hammarskj ld became the second Secretary-General of the United Nations--the highest international civil servant. Before his mission was cut short by a 1961 plane crash in then Northern Rhodesia (Zambia), he used his office to act on the basis of anti-hegemonic values, including solidarity and recognition of otherness. The dubious circumstances of Hammarskj ld's death have received much attention, including a new official investigation, but have perhaps overshadowed his diplomatic legacy--one that has often been hotly contested. Henning Melber explores the years of African decolonization during which Hammarskj ld was in office, investigating the scope and limits of his influence within the context of global governance. He paints a picture of a man with strong guiding principles, but limited room for maneuver, colliding with the essential interests of the big powers as the 'wind of change' blew over the African continent. His book is a critical contribution to the study of international politics and the role of the UN in the Cold War. It is also a tribute to the achievements of a cosmopolitan Swede.
Since independence in 1990, Namibia has witnessed only one generation with no memory of colonialism - the 'born frees', who voted in the 2009 elections. The anti-colonial liberation movement, SWAPO, dominates the political scene, effectively making Namibia a de facto one-party state dominated by the first 'struggle generation'. While those in power declare their support for a free, fair, and just society, the limits to liberation are such that emancipation from foreign rule has only been partially achieved. Despite its natural resources Namibia is among the world's most unequal societies and indicators of wellbeing have not markedly improved for many among the former colonized majority, despite a constitution enshrining human rights, social equality, and individual liberty. This book analyses the transformation of Namibian society since Independence. Melber explores the achievements and failures and contrasts the narrative of a post-colonial patriotic history with the socio-economic and political realities of the nation-building project. He also investigates whether, notwithstanding the relative stability prevailing to date, the negotiation of controlled change during Namibia's decolonization could have achieved more than simply a change of those in control.

From 1884 to 1914, the world's fourth-largest overseas colonial empire was that of the German Kaiserreich. Yet this fact is little known in Germany and the subject remains virtually absent from most school textbooks. While debates are now common in France and Britain over the impact of empire on former colonies and colonizing societies, German imperialism has only more recently become a topic of wider public interest. In 2015, the German government belatedly and half-heartedly conceded that the extermination policies carried out over 1904-8 in the settler colony of German South West Africa (now Namibia) qualify as genocide. But the recent invigoration of debate on Germany's colonial past has been hindered by continued amnesia, denialism and a populist right endorsing colonial revisionism. A recent campaign against postcolonial studies sought to denounce and ostracize any serious engagement with the crimes of the imperial age. Henning Melber presents an overview of German colonial rule and analyses how its legacy has affected and been debated in German society, politics and the media. He also discusses the quotidian experiences of Afro-Germans, the restitution of colonial loot, and how the history of colonialism affects important institutions such as the Humboldt Forum.
