Each volume unfolds a single building and portrays the architect behind. The 10 buildings also represent 10 current themes in the contemporary architecture debate. Through an essay and an in-depth interview with the architect. The interview format ensures an informal description, while the essay complements with background knowledge. The book will be a part of the UNESCO World Capital of Architecture in 2023 in Copenhagen.
