Landscape architecture drawings

Copenhagen University Library Frederiksberg has an unique collection of drawings by influential Danish landscape architects. The collection stretches from the end of the 1800s and through the 20th century to today and contains collections from:
Aksel Andersen, Jens Peder Andersen, Georg Boye, Emil Marker Deichmann, Troels Erstad, Erik Erstad-Jørgensen, Georg Georgsen, Edvard Glæsel, Malene Hauxner,
Jens Hendeliowitz, Ingwer Ingwersen, Roland Lund, Frank Pettersson, Anka Rasmussen, Jørn Palle Schmidt and Ib Asger Olsen/Per Stahlschmidt.

We also hold smaller collections of drawings from G.N. Brandt, C.Th. Sørensen, P. Wad, Erik Mygind, Erna Sonne Friis og Agnete Muusfeldt and a collection of student projects from The Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University from the late 1890s to the 1950s.

The library collection holds around 25,000 drawings plus their additional notes, letters and plant lists. Some projects are ideas and sketches, others are finished projects, some have been replaced or re-made over time, others exist to this day. Some projects were collaborations, and some have been worked on several times by different landscape architects at different periods in time. Although we do not hold architecture drawings some of these projects also include the corresponding architecture drawings and you're welcome to ask about these as well.

These drawings give unique insight into both the artistic perspective and the practical work of Danish landscape architects through generations, and let you get close to the way the different landscape architects worked. A small selection of these drawings are digitized.

Additionally the library also holds pictures and landscape drawings from Danish castles and manor houses, collections of dias, drawings from The Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University Garden through the years and other records within the subject area. We can often help you find old arcticles, pictures and other types of infomation about Danish landscape architects, their projects, gardens and landscapes in Denmark and occassionally abroad.

On this page you will be able to find overview information about a selection of the landscape architects in our collection and links to the digitized drawings. All drawings are scanned in 200 dpi and available from a database with zoom facilities.

Use and reproduction of drawings for example for publication requires clearing of rights, and it is the user´s responsibility to obtain these.
