Description: Bogen er skrevet af den kendte arkitekt og kritiker Christoffer Harlang og beskriver Nils Fagerholts (f. 1933) bidrag til dansk arkitektur og design fra omkring 1960 til 2005. Nils Fagerholt er ikke blandt de mest kendte designere og arkitekter i Danmark, men en lang række prisbelønnede mesterværker har placeret ham blandt eliten inden for dansk design. Præcision, poesi og mådehold er nøglebegreber i Fagerholts arbejde, og hans sans for stil og rum vil gøre bogen til en aha-oplevelse for dens læsere. Alt materiale i bogen bærer præg af Fagerholts egne krav til kvalitet og viser en formgivningsevne, der er usædvanlig i sine strenge krav til proportionering og materialeæstetik. Bogen præsenterer med ledsagelse af Christoffer Harlangs anerkendende pen, en række originale tegninger udført af Fagerholt suppleret med gengivelse af samtidige farve- og sort-hvid-optagelser af udførte og byggede værker.

The book is written by renowned architect and critic Christoffer Harlang and describes Nils Fagerholt's (b. 1933) contribution to Danish architecture and design from around 1960 to 2005. Nils Fagerholt is not among the most well-known designers and architects in Denmark, but a large number of award-winning masterpieces have placed him among the elite in Danish design. Precision, poetry and moderation are key concepts in Fagerholt's work, and his sense of style and space will make the book an aha experience for its readers. All material in the book is characterized by Fagerholt's own requirements for quality and shows a design ability that is unusual in its strict requirements for proportioning and material aesthetics. The book presents, with the accompanying Christoffer Harlang's acclaimed pen, a number of original drawings by Fagerholt supplemented by the reproduction of simultaneous color and black-and-white recordings of performed and built works.
