This first monograph on the work of Danish architect Carsten Lorenzen presents some 25 projects and ideas that have been planned or constructed since 1996. Essays describe the special challenges posed by brick construction, the quality of Lorenzen’s floor plans, and the architect’s relationship to Copenhagen.
Only a few notable architectural firms are specialized in residential architecture. Carsten Lorenzen (born 1953 in Tønder) has a wealth of experience – ranging from subsidized housing to private complexes, from the conception phase to the execution of details. The use of brick gives his buildings a striking, haptic quality. Working with exposed stonework is an involved process that requires precise planning and an exact knowledge of the stonemason’s craft.
