This issue features seventeen houses in Denmark.
Architect Lise Juel expresses how &lMelancholy as a concept has been a useful perspective in understanding artists and artworks, but it remains underexposed in the field of architecture.&r And yet, she continues, this is &lnot melancholic in its negative sense, but in the sense of a thoughtful and pensive approach to life.&r Seventeen houses in Denmark are featured in this issue, along with more than a dozen architectural offices that in turn reflect this melancholic perspective through their work, key to understanding Danish architectural practice, both traditionally and in the present.
