Description

sas royal hotel, copenhagen, 1955-1960. architect: arne jacobsen, 1902-1971.

and neighbour...

in the SAS royal hotel as in most of the other abstract works of this period, it is difficult to find any traces of the intelligent contextualism jacobsen praticed in works like the stelling house seen below.

soon after the hotel, jacobsen would return once again to his neoclassicist roots to produce sensitive and subtle reinterpretations of local architecture in the national bank, copenhagen 1961, st. catherine's college, oxford 1962, and the mainz city hall.

like the hotel, these are highly elitist works and have been less favourably received by the general public than by colleagues.

a degree of popular appreciation of his more difficult buildings has come with the reappraisal of jacobsen's furniture design which is now again a part of more or less every Danish home after its fall from grace in the 1980's.

the glass corners in this photo are open, creating a wonderful effect of lightness, but some inferior decorator managed to put curtains there.
