This skilled architect and industrial designer is well known not only in Denmark, but also in the rest of the world. Written with eloquence and beautifully illustrated, this magnificent book explores the range of his work, such as his building at Odense University, Kastrup Airport in Copenhagen, and the National Museum in Bahrain. For Holscher, who was strongly influenced by his mentor Arne Jacobsen, architecture and design have nothing to do with accidental qualities that vary through time according to aesthetic conventions. Rather, he believes it as an intrinsic dimension in our perception of the world.
