Summary:
The landscape architecture of the Nordic countries is just appealing for its aesthetics and high quality as modern Scandinavian architecture. Danish and Swedish landscape architects already numered among the European avant-garde in the first half of the last century. While Spain, France and The Nethelands were moving into the focus of interest in recent decades, a new generation of Scandinavian designers created remarkable landscape architecture - with different emphases in the individual countries. "Topos - European Landscape Magazine" reports regularly on new projects. Notable contributions are collected in this volume to provide a survey of current Scandinavian landscape architecture : Swedish and Finnish national landscapes, new squares in Bergen, architecture and landscape in Iceland, power dams in Norway, parks in Denmark ...

Summary:
Présentation du livre Chaque année, dans toute l'Europe, de la France à la Bulgarie, de la Finlande à la Sardaigne, du Portugal à la Grèce en passant par la Suisse et l'Allemagne, des hommes, le temps d'une mascarade multiséculaire, entrent littéralement dans la peau du " sauvage ". En devenant ours, chèvre, cerf ou sanglier, homme de paille, diable ou monstre aux mâchoires d'acier, ces hommes célèbrent le cycle de la vie et des saisons. Leurs costumes, faits de peaux de bêtes ou de végétaux, sertis d'ossements ou ceinturés de cloches, chapeautés de cornes ou de bois de cerfs, sidèrent par l'extraordinaire diversité et la prodigieuse beauté de leurs formes. Les portraits photographiques d'hommes sauvages de Charles Fréger subliment cette suspension provisoire de la normalité qu'est la mascarade et révèlent une tradition méconnue d'une étonnante richesse. Toutes les figures photographiées sont décrites, en fin d'ouvrage, dans le contexte du rituel auquel elles se rattachent. Ces textes ont été rédigés en collaboration avec le Musée international du Carnaval et du Masque situé à Binche en Belgique, et sont illustrés des silhouettes créées pour l'occasion par Geneviève Gauckler.
