Foster in the Future

Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971) is regarded as one of the 20th century's greatest Danish architects. Although he established his international reputation mainly in furniture design, having producedsome of the world's most recognisable and sought-after chairs, he also ranks as a master ofmodern architecture. He painted watercolours, took an active interest in new building andproduction methods, and experimented with new materials in order to realise his vision.
