How Celsing approached and carried out his commissions testifies to a great understanding of architecture as an applied art, where function and economy are important parameters. At the same time, during a major shift in the construction industry from more small-scale and artisanal to large-scale and prefabricated, Celsing managed the feat of running his projects with artistic integrity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Håkansson's black and white photographs, taken in the mid-1990s, capture the essence of Celsing's buildings. In many cases, the images are now a valuable document of that era, since some of the buildings have changed, and not always in a favorable way. In this beautiful volume, supplemented by insightful texts contributed by architect Staffan Henriksson and artist Maria Lantz, Håkansson's skillful photography forms a loving and sensitive portrait of Celsing's architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Park Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51054886944988,"sku":"26W575","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/9746\/1724\/files\/24399043483269.jpg?v=1780598229","url":"https:\/\/stoutbooks.com\/products\/architecture-by-peter-celsing-photographed-by-john-hakansson","provider":"William Stout Architectural Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
