jacobsen's early essay in the curtain wall, the jespersen office building in copenhagen, has lost its original facade.
if you believe, as I do, that the lessons of the masters are unaffected by time, "new and improved" is not a real option.
jacobsen's ultra light weight escape stair in the shape of a glass tube is still here, though, and as dirty as ever.
jacobsen is an inescapable presence in copenhagen, he is equally in your street and in your kitchen drawer. at times, that may induce a kind of blindness which subsequently place the details of his buildings in danger...I doubt this house is even listed.
one down, arne...
