The ability to capture the spirit of a time while still maintaining a sense of continuity with tradition is a typical dilemma for modern architecture, and the projects created by Henning Larsen are no exception. Using a contemporary and sophisticated formal language, Larsen and his studio have s쳮ded in extracting the essence of the new and in translating it into a consistent and convincing architectural idiom. His strength lies in simplification of form and function, evident in his use of archetypal elements and themes such as the house-within-a-house and the internal street. Brought to international acclaim with his design for the Foreign Ministry building in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in the early 80s, Larsen's most recent works include Christiansbro and the Danish Design Center, both located in Copenhagen.
