Course Description:

For Europeans, Denmark is the gateway to the Northern territories. A small country with a pronounced design literacy, it is home to architects of world renown. Arne Jacobsen and Jørn Utzon (known for his Sydney Opera House)—two of the most prominent masters of the 20th century—were based in Copenhagen. Its tradition of design excellence continues today with firms such as BIG and 3XN. This course will examine the socio-cultural conditions and the outsized personalities that made this city a required destination for architectural acculturation and enjoyment.
