For day five of architecture week, I take a look at the work of Arne Jacobsen. Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971) was a Danish modernist architect. Probably better known for his furniture design today, but his architecture was just incredible. Actually, I had never heard of him until a few years ago, and now I feel like an idiot for taking so long to discover a true modern genius.
Enjoy a few of Arne’s projects (I call him “Arne” because we’re tight now)
