(Copenhagen, Denmark): Arkitektens Forlag The Danish Architectural Press, 2004. First edition. Quarto. 93 pages. For more than thirty years, Christiania has served as a social and coexistence model in strong contrast to the surrounding consumer society. Christiania has developed a collective system of governing in which everyone has a direct influence on the local society. It implies a communal system with a wide range of individual freedoms including the design of homes and housing areas. It additionally has a social latitude in direct contrast to the polarisation and egoism, which to an increasing degree characterises the western democracies. The volume looks at what can be learnt from Christiania. Illustrated throughout. A very good copy, some bumping to bottom corners, in illustrated boards without dust jacket as issued.
