The Arne Jacobsen Radisson SAS Royal Hotel was shockingly new for the Copenhageners when it was finished in 1960. It kickstarted a discussion about whether Danish architecture should express local building traditions or move to a more international and modernistic style. Tune in to this podcast and learn more about the tensions that lie in bricks and steel, and how this discussion continues to influence the Danish architecture. Featuring architect and CEO of the Danish Architecture Center in more than 20 years, Kent Martinussen and host Michael Booth.
