‘In The Middle Of Our Street’: Aarhus City Hall by Arne Jacobsen-

Designed in 1937 by Arne Jacobsen and Erik Moller, Aarhus town hall was the winning entry of a competition. It was competed in 1941 after some changes to the design. The tower was added after the competition as the original plans caused some controversy, people thought the hall wasn’t suitably monumental. The town hall’s facades are clad in marble and a considerable amount of wood has been used in the interior, of special note is the oak parquet flooring.

House in Muko by Fujiwarramuro Architects.

“A mezzanine-floored residence consisting of a single-roomed space, located on a fan-shaped site. The movements of the sun can be felt inside the house all throughout the year. Light coming from the east strikes the louvered boards before entering the house and reaching deep into its interior. Direct sunlight from the south traces a shower-like path of lines as it penetrates into the building. Light coming from the west reflects off the walls of this house with an open stairwell before entering it.”
