📖 The extract that compelled me to draw this in the first place:
📖 I am reading Buildings Texts and came here to learn about architecture, but instead I’ve walked away with yet another man’s boatload of trauma. JC did you kiss the brick before you threw it in my face. Not a single day of peace doing architectural history

📸+📖 thread:
The library had Johan Celsing’s Buildings Texts which I’ve wanted for a long time. In order to post the solid entry on Årsta, I must give you photos first; to me Årsta is the Ahlséns’ world but here is its very own church on the hill!

2/2, this little couple. 💍
I didn’t have good building pics to give Erling so he got a Venice postcard instead. I thought about the travel postcards he wrote to Kiss all those years ago. «Mye fin arkitektur å se her.» Her også, kjære Erling.

🤍 big love!! I’ve immensely enjoyed watching films of him talking about his projects. He was so articulate. Super glad to have picked up the language (& that he speaks Oslo Norwegian which is the most comprehensible dialect to me…) Endlessly rewarding.

🩵 I got 1/2 of the last Norwegian copies of the Fehn book! Shop guy: “There are copies on the lower shelf?” - Me: “No that’s in English. I want the Norwegian one on the high shelf.” If it’s Fehn talking about his own work, I want to hear it in his language. I don’t want anything lost in translation.

🔴 The Viksjø book, NB not his monograph, is quite interesting. It’s much more art history than architectural history, at least that’s my first impression. Hardly any architectural drawings, mostly photos/paintings/sketches. But given the theme they get a pass. Expecting banger essays. Dual language.

⚪️ The highlights book is actually really good. It’s a chronological overview of the architecture collection. I love that they dissect each featured object. Some of them are pretty obscure drawings and I’ve enjoyed the analysis. And they leave you with questions to think! Also available in English.
