Anders Gammelgaard Nielsen

Anders Gammelgaard Nielsen is an architect and sculptor for whom both craftsmanship and academia have gone hand in hand for many years – he balances between architectural and artistic method and openness.

Here it is not about speed, the new or the easy way out. No, the works of Anders Gammelgaard Nielsen presented here have sluggishness as a prerequisite. The dream, the preoccupation and the silent discovery: monumental and compassionate at the same time. Time passes, pleasantly delayed in the company of these works.

Here are works from a practice in which sculptural and architectural design interchange. But that is not all. Also displayed are pieces of a life, a frame of mind. With its many illustrations, the book also describes the work of a professional, a human being and a dreamer. The content is in many ways silent, but interesting because it describes a person and works that are inextricably linked – something so rarely found these days. Not least in a person so fully integrated in an educational institution such as the Aarhus School of Architecture.
