of architecture - Kunstakademiets Arkitektskole

I foråret 2004 fyldte det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi 250 år, hvilket blev
fejret med stor festivitas. Dog var det for de fleste en velbevaret hemmelighed,
at skolens kvinder ikke kunne indlemmes i jubilæet: Kvinder blev først inviteret
inden for akademiets mure i 1908.
I 2008 tog arkitekterne Tanja Jordan og Rikke Lequick Larsen initiativ til at
markere 100-års-jubilæet for kvinderne på Kunstakademiets Arkitektskole.
Publikationen her dokumenterer jubilæet i form af taler fra det internationale jubilæumssymposium,
en beskrivelse af jubilæumsudstillingen, uddrag af videofilm
produceret til anledningen samt uddybende artikler skrevet specifikt hertil.
Med en blanding af både historisk tilbageblik og gisninger om fremtiden tegnes
et portræt af de kvindelige arkitekter, som ikke blev fejret, ej heller nævnt, da
Kunstakademiet fyldte 250 år. Disse kvinder gives her en plads i historiebøgerne.
Publikationen indeholder både danske og engelske tekster.
In the spring of 2004, the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen
turned 250, which was festively celebrated. However, to most people, it was a
well kept secret that women could not be included in the party since women were
not accepted at the Academy before 1908.
In 2008, architects Tanja Jordan and Rikke Lequick Larsen took the initiative to
celebrate that women had been a part of the Academy for 100 years. This publication
documents the centennial with transcribed speeches from the international
centennial symposium, a description of the anniversary exhibition, extracts from
the video films produced for the occasion and articles written specifically for this
publication.
With both historical nods to the past and predictions about the future, this book
portrays those female architects who were not celebrated nor mentioned when
the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts turned 250.
The publication contains both English and Danish essays.
