History and profile edit

Byggekunst was launched in 1919 as a successor of Teknisk Ukeblad. Arkitektur og Dekorativ Kunst.[2][3][4] The founder and publisher of the magazine was the National Association of Norwegian Architects (Norske Arkitekters Landsforbund).[5][6] The association was consisted of young art historians.[5] The magazine became the official media outlet of the association and was based in Oslo.[1][7] The special issue of Byggekunst in 1952 was edited by the members of the Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne.[8]

In the early years Byggekunst included reports on international exhibitions.[2] It published the proceedings of the conferences organized by the National Association of Norwegian Architects.[9] The contributors of the magazine criticised the absence of contemporary Norwegian architecture at that time in their articles.[2] One of the significant contributors was Ole Landmark, a Norwegian architect.[3] Byggekunst featured an article by Helene Støren Kobbe, architect and head of the general planning department of Oslo, about the new projects for central Oslo in 1957.[10][11]

Christian Norberg-Schulz served as the editor-in-chief of Byggekunst between 1963 and 1978.[12] The magazine ceased publication in 2007 and was succeeded by another magazine, Arkitektur N.[13][6]
