Die Räume von Norm Architects aus Dänemark fühlen sich so gut an, wie sie aussehen. Von den Machern von The Touch.Norm Architects aus Dänemark lassen sich vom menschlichen Wohlbefinden leiten. Ihr Stil ist ausgeglichen: schlicht und doch warm, komplex und dennoch geordnet, reichhaltig und trotzdem zurückhaltend. Jedes Element ist durchdacht. Mit ihrem einzigartigen sanften Minimalismus schaffen Norm Architects Räume, Interior und Möbel für Körper und Geist. Soft Minimal ist Norm Architects' erstes Buch. Es stellt die Arbeiten vor, die sie zu Schlüsselfiguren des Nordischen Designs gemacht haben. Anhand von Wohn- und Gewerbebauten in Skandinavien, Italien und Japan legen Norm Architects ihren Ansatz offen, der nordische Tradition, Prinzipien der Moderne und natürliche Baustoffe vereint. Ihr Buch ist gleichermaßen informativ wie poetisch - in einer visuellen Sprache, die alle Sinne anspricht.

Hier wird anschaulich aufgezeigt und verständlich erklärt, wie ganz verschiedene Gebäude nachhaltig umgebaut und fortschrittlich genutzt werden können.Menschen leben und arbeiten heute ganz anders als noch vor 20 Jahren und Städte und Gebäude müssen sich dieser Realität schnell anpassen. Alles neu zu bauen ist keine Lösung und deshalb braucht es Architektinnen und Architekten, die bereits existierende Bauten durch nachhaltigen Umbau und fortschrittliche Umnutzung an die neuen Bedürfnisse anpassen. So verwandelt sich eine Sofafabrik zum Co-Working-Hub, Viadukte zu Gemeinschaftsgärten oder Kaufhäuser zu Kulturzentren. Außerdem stellt das Buch Gebäude vor, deren Rückbau und Wiederverwertung bereits bei der Erstellung mitgedacht wurde, ein ganzheitlicher Architektur ist nicht nur erstrebenswert, sondern wegweisend für ressourcenbewusstes und zukunftsfähiges Bauen ist.
