- Abstract
This article examines the houses in the centre of Ærøskøbing, and concludes that they were mainly built between 1840-1910, or at least the facades were, while the foundations may be older. Five types of building are found: 1. Gabled houses from Slesvig; 2. Houses in the Baroque style; 3. Halftimbered houses; 4. Small, anonymous, plastered long houses; and 5. Plastered houses, mainly influenced by the late classical period. As a town, Ærøskøbing is generally characterized either by anonymous long houses from about 1790-1840, or by buildings from 1840-1910 with decorations inspired by the late classical period, as the inhabitants never really adopted historicism and the plain wall. Finally, the concepts of architecture and building traditions are considered from a Weberian perspective. The author argues that architecture is created from a building culture based on a collective, overall idea: a holistic view of the building using the discipline's theories and terminology. Building traditions are first and foremost composed of ideas and fragments with no unifying concept, but which, like symbols, communicate certain feelings and values to the world.
