It’s About Time 1. wydanie

In Scandinavia, when the state builds, a percentage (typically 0.5-1.5%)of total construction costs is allocated for art. This pioneering policy ensures creativity becomes an intrinsic component of the built environment rather than an afterthought. However, the spatial implications and artistic dimensions that result from this public funding mechanism are rarely studied.
This publication explores the relationship between art and architecture in Scandinavia, particularly in public art through percent-for art and insititution-supported projects. Through compelling contemporary case studies, Ditte Holm maps and presents a sophisticated frame work for understanding the multiple dimensions of art interventions within architecture. These transcend traditional categorisation and demonstrate the profound impact that occurs when artists, architects, and stakeholders work together toward shared goals.
