History and profile

Byggekunst was launched in 1919 as a successor of Teknisk Ukeblad. Arkitektur og Dekorativ Kunst. [2] [3] [4] The founder and publisher of the magazine was the National Association of Norwegian Architects (Norske Arkitekters Landsforbund). [5] [6] The association was consisted of young art historians. [5] The magazine became the official media outlet of the association and was based in Oslo. [1] [7] The special issue of Byggekunst in 1952 was edited by the members of the Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne. [8]

In the early years Byggekunst included reports on international exhibitions. [2] It published the proceedings of the conferences organized by the National Association of Norwegian Architects. [9] The contributors of the magazine criticised the absence of contemporary Norwegian architecture at that time in their articles. [2] One of the significant contributors was Ole Landmark, a Norwegian architect. [3] Byggekunst featured an article by Helene Støren Kobbe, architect and head of the general planning department of Oslo, about the new projects for central Oslo in 1957. [10] [11]

Christian Norberg-Schulz served as the editor-in-chief of Byggekunst between 1963 and 1978. [12] The magazine ceased publication in 2007 and was succeeded by another magazine, Arkitektur N. [13] [6]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Maja Melandsø</span> Norwegian architect (1906–1981)

Maja Melandsø was a Norwegian architect and painter. She was a pioneer in several areas: she was one of the first women architects to complete their studies at the Norwegian Institute of Technology when she graduated in 1931, she is considered the person to introduce functionalist architecture in Trondheim, and she was one of the first Norwegian female architects with her own practice. Melandsø was involved both in residential construction as well as cultural heritage management. As an architect, she had an extensive output, but apart from the fact that as a newly qualified architect she attracted attention with her funkis-bygg in Trondheim, the buildings she designed were rarely mentioned in architectural literature.

I have designed houses, not buildings. Houses to work in, houses to live in, according to ability. Whether health centers, manor houses, schools, business premises, or houses to live in, they were built on the principle that one square meter too much is as bad as one square meter too little. The houses were big on the inside and small on the outside. I have never recognized the concept of "facade"; all three dimensions are equally important.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Loft (building)</span>

Loft is a traditional two-storey wooden building preserved mostly in Norway. A loft was used for storage and sleeping, and is known since the early Middle Ages. Loft buildings dating from around 1200 are preserved in rural areas. Lofts were typically built in log technique, unlike the post and lintel construction in stave churches. Many lofts have an external corridor or balcony resting on a log corbel. The oldest non-religious wooden buildings in Norway are lofts. In addition to the stave church, Christian Norberg-Schulz regards the loft as Norway's most important contribution to history of architecture.
