Campi Flegrei, near Naples, is a seismically active landscape that attracts, stimulates, and challenges. It seduces the soul, engages perception, and demands to be interpreted rather than merely registered.
People have chosen to live amongst these unique geological and volcanic features, weaving the fabric of human occupation and taming a land in perpetual transformation, one of the harshest yet most enchanting environments. Mankind has matched its own impermanence against the earth’s inevitable and unrestrained convulsions, in the process hewing out some of the most glorious examples of human endeavor, such as Cumae, the oldest Greek colony in the Western Mediterranean, the bustling Roman port of Puteoli, and the “dolce vita” savored in the baths and villas dotted around the Bay of Baiae.
Luigi Spina has been exploring this land since 2020, delving into the complex, stratified geography. Key landmarks include places of memory (archaeological sites, monuments, landscapes), which, like true benchmarks of perception, outline the path towards an understanding of a world that links nature, ancient ruins, and the overwhelming presence of mankind. Balanced between mimicry and contradiction, the Campi Flegrei landscape is now blanketed by a dense urban sprawl, where the ancient and the contemporary coexist in a kind of precarious equilibrium, generating a complex socio-cultural state of affairs that is challenging to govern.
Spina explores and photographs places such as the Dragonara Cave, the Piscina Mirabilis, the Theatre of Misenum, the Flavian Amphitheatre at Puteoli, the Temple of Apollo on the shores of Lake Avernus, and the Temples of Venus and Diana, as he wanders through the hills above Baiae, finally heading towards Cumae.
In March of 2008, The National Museum – Architecture opened at Bankplassen 3 in Oslo with an exhibition on Sverre Fehn. He is the architect behind the renovation of Grosch’s bank building from the 1800s and the new museum pavilion. Fehn was also active in selecting which projects should be included in the exhibition and this catalogue. In addition to articles, pictures and drawings, this catalogue also includes quotes and project descriptions by Fehn himself.

Formula 1 is more popular than ever. The race calendar expands every single year, with more spectators flocking to Formula 1 tracks, and more people tuning in behind their TV screens to follow every twist, every acceleration, and every overtake.
But Formula 1 is much more than what is shown on TV. Formula 1 is mechanics at work in the battle for split-seconds during a pit stop. Formula 1 is massive development departments working to find the key to success. Formula 1 is a commercial circus that entertains and impresses.
In this book, one of the most experienced figures in the Formula 1 caravan, reporter and photographer Peter Nygaard, takes readers behind the scenes. Nygaard has covered almost two-thirds of the Formula 1 Grand Prix races that have been held since Formula 1’s inception in 1950. Through his camera lens and conversations with some of the most central figures, he tells the stories of the greatest drivers, the wildest dramas, and the continuous evolution of Formula 1.
Hear from some of the biggest figures who, from inside the car, the pit lane, or around the track, have experienced everything that makes Formula 1 what it is today.
