Acknowledgements

The studies and surveys here presented were carried out at the School of Architecture of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.

Studies in Denmark and the rest of Scandinavia form the nucleus of the material and views presented, supplemented by European and overseas investigations.

Specific surveys referred to in this book were carried out in cooperation with architectural students at the University of Toronto; the University of Waterloo, Ontario; the University of Melbourne; the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology; the University of California at Berkeley; and the Urban Design Department of the Royal Academy School of Architecture in Copenhagen.

Invaluable assistance with the manuscript and illustrations for the English language edition was generously given by the landscape architects Sissel Andreassen and Mark von Wodtke, Los Angeles; by city planner Cara Seiderman, Berkeley; and by the architects Peter Bosselmann, Berkeley; Adrian Carter , Portsmouth; and Cleveland Rose, Sydney. For practical help with the layout and manuscript I am indebted to Rebekka Boelskov, Rikke Sode, and, not least, Annie Foght.

For the support provided by these people, as well as the excellent advice and cooperation of the interior architect Jo Koch, who translated the book, I am profoundly grateful. In conclusion I also wish warmly to thank the architect Ralph Erskine for contributing the foreword to this edition.
