P.V. Jensen-Klint (GB edition)

As an architect, pioneer, innovator, and avid critic, P.V.Jensen-Klint (1853-1930) proved of major significance for the evolution of Danish architecture and design. As a transitional figure between a period of historical awareness and an urge for liberation and social responsibility, he managed to gather the best elements from the past into an architecture that emphasized respect for context, materiality, and the importance of the detail in the complete architectural expression. In time, all of these elements merged to become a natural part of the aesthetic and ethical basis of Danish architecture and design, reflecting P.V.Jensen-Klint’s important role in making Denmark a high-profile design nation.
