The Functional and the Aesthetic Meet in Harmony
6526 Kunstbrochure/2001 ENG 03/07/02 10:54 Side 1 The functional and the aesthetic meet in harmony More than 50,000 people pass through Copenhagen Airport every day. We believe that a clean and relaxed airport, with beautiful architecture, top-quality design and artistic decoration, together with appealing art that has a surprise or two to offer, help to give passengers that sense of well-being that makes for an enjoyable start to a journey. A piece of art in an airport has difficult conditions to con- tend with. It has to compete with signs, advertisements and temp- ting shop windows for the attention of the passenger. It will never receive the undivided attention of the observer it would in a gallery or private home. It must be an integral part of the architec- tural surroundings and yet be visible enough and demonstrative enough to catch the eye of the preoccupied passenger rushing past it. On the other hand, what art gallery can guarantee the artist an audience of 50,000 people - every day? Jens-Flemming Sørensen’s fountain in Pier C, shown on the cover of this guide, is an excellent example of the unique opportu- nities an airport can offer an artist. We wanted an artist-designed fountain in our airport. The artist presented a proposal and as the dialogue between the artist and the airport progressed, limitations and new possibilities of his original concept emerged. We wanted to make the piece a central element of the building and give it a function as a meeting point or waiting area. -

His build- ings include Odense University, the additions to the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen, the extension of Kastrup Airport and the National Museum in Bahrain. His most famous work in the field of industrial design is the d-line series of door-handles, and the most recent being the Quinta spotlights for the German company ERCO. Holscher is an outstanding representative of an architectural attitude which was more or less neglected by Deconstructivism and the ruling aestheticism characteristic of the last decades. Thus he still believes that architecture and design are essentially a matter of daily life. His enormous scope ranging from classic tec- tonic business to the design of everyday things such as lavatories and vacuum jugs indicates his devotion to overall solutions as well as his passionate attention to detail. In this one cannot but reco- gnize the influence of the Danish architect Arne Jacobsen with whom Holscher started his career. For Holscher architecture and design have nothing to do with accidential qualities that vary through time according to aesthetic conventions; rather he con- ceives it as an intrinsic dimension in our metabolism with the Distributors world. -
