Book: ARK JOURNAL VOLUME XIII SPRING/SUMMER 2025
In this issue, we contemplate the quiet power of "obsession." This power drives us to protect, preserve, and perfect, encouraging creation and change. Obsession and fixation can become "love," nurturing, expanding boundaries, and bringing ideas to fruition. For those who embrace it, obsession becomes a bridge to understanding, elevating creators and creativity to something timeless, deeply beautiful, and enduring. This issue celebrates the creative journeys of individuals in music, design, interiors, art, and architecture who have combined passion and authenticity through the power of obsession.
HOMES: A home in southern Jutland is restored to its original natural state to instill a sense of history. Also, the home of Philip Johnson, a leading American modernist architect, is meticulously restored with patience, determination, and humility. A joyous and experimental New York loft and the nuanced obsession found in a 1930s Danish beach house are showcased.
INTERVIEW: Through 70 years of architectural activity and practice, Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza has constructed the skeleton of his architectural language. It is fundamental and deeply moving, drawn from memory, subconscious, and a close reading of context and place.
INSERT: For five years, Brodie Sessions, an independent, non-commercial music platform, has produced and hosted music in unique architectural spaces, documenting them with analog film. This feature is a tribute to the many carefully crafted musical moments.
LIVING ARCHITECTURE: "Villa Weil," a masterpiece of late French modernist architecture, is a work that shapes architecture with pure expression, an abstract object whose essence lies in the rural landscape, preserved and shared as a cultural project.
DESIGN: The sculptural forms of metal, bent, folded, and curved by Umberto Bellardi Ricci, a German-Italian architect, sculptor, and designer based in New York, are showcased in a landmark New York penthouse. The angular archetypes of interiors and cityscapes serve as inspiration and are reflected in his work.
ART: "Manitoga," a modernist building designed by pioneering American industrial designer Russel Wright, stands in Garrison, New York. This feature is a poetic and ephemeral tribute to this architecture, which means "place of the great spirit" in Algonquian, with artists and photographers capturing the soul of the place in fleeting gestures.
CASE STUDY: In a serene and tranquil interior, seemingly simple lines and subtle wood tones encourage deep thought about the valuable paradox of form and balance, and rich grandeur.
ESSAY: Jan Gleie discusses the process of his photo essay, capturing dreamlike images. His personal and almost random selection of photographs was guided by atmosphere and childhood memories.
This magazine is not merely a publication. It embodies the beauty and simplicity that define Scandinavian design and architecture.
