Architect Henning Larsen (1925-2013) was a virtuous illustrator with extreme attention to the details of his surroundings. He was drawing constantly. To him, drawing was a way of collecting his thoughts, a method that made him understand his work deeply.
As a young man, he broke with the Danish tradition of creating architecture, a way that was thoroughly advocated for at The Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. He was more interested in finding a way of creating more freelyโand of thinking more freely as well.
The Architectural Sketches of Henning Larsen presents a selection of his drawings and portrays how he developed both professionally and personally from the young, dreaming, and curious architect to a committed and open-minded leader of a large architectural practice. The drawings tell the story of the personal journey of an architect and about working with architecture before everything became digitalised.
