Its About Time

Beskrivelse

Discover how Scandinavian policies integrate art into public construction projects, making creativity a fundamental part of the built environment. This book delves into the rarely explored spatial and artistic effects of funding art through public construction budgets.

Examining the fusion of art and architecture in Scandinavian public projects funded by percent-for-art initiatives.

In Scandinavia, a portion of the total construction costs-usually between 0.5% and 1.5%, is dedicated to art when the state undertakes building projects. This innovative approach ensures that art is woven into the fabric of architecture rather than added as an afterthought.

This publication investigates the dynamic relationship between art and architecture, focusing on public art created through percent-for-art schemes and institutionally supported projects. Through engaging contemporary case studies, Ditte Vilstrup Holm presents a detailed framework that captures the complex layers of artistic interventions within architectural contexts.

These examples go beyond conventional categories, highlighting the powerful outcomes when artists, architects, and stakeholders collaborate with shared visions and goals.
