An assignment for Danish Engineers, Søren Jensen to photograph Cancer Centre Naestved, Denmark. Architect: Effekt. Due to the white cladding and faceted form the appearance of building was particularly sensitive to the changing light angles throughout the day necessitating staying on location from 9am to 11pm to capture the building in the optimum light.
An assignment for Danish architectural practice C.F. Møller to photograph their refurbishment of an apartment in Mayfair, London. The design combines a refined modernism with a muted palette set against the warmth of a timber floor. The apartment is fitted out with classics of Danish design including a vase by Alvar Aalto, the Poul Henningsen artichoke lamp shade and the PK9 dining chair by Poul Kjaerholm.

Aarhus City Hall Clock Tower. Architect: Arne Jacobsen and Erik Møller.
Arne Jacobsen’s Aarhus City Hall (Århus Rådhus Bygning) was originally designed without a tower in 1942 but the people demanded a more monumental symbol for the most important building in their city. The resulting tower is 60m tall and the tower clock face has a diameter of 7m. The building is made of concrete plated marble from Porsgrunn in Norway. Architect: Arne Jacobsen and Erik Møller.

“Your Rainbow Panorama” is a Rainbow-coloured glass walkway on the roof of the Danish art museum ARoS Aarhus Kuntsmuseum, by Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson. The permanent piece consists of a 150-metre-long and three-metre-wide self-contained circular walkway with glass that moves through all of the colours of the spectrum. The 52-metre-diameter walkway “floats” 3.5 metres above the roof and stretches like a multi-coloured halo — supported by 12 slender columns. The piece opened to the public on 28 May, 2011. In order to access the walkway, visitors can take stairs or a lift from the museum in order to appreciate a panoramic view tinted in different colours.Eliasson describes the work:
Your Rainbow panorama establishes a dialogue with the existing architecture and reinforces what was already there, that is to say the view across the city. I have created a space that can almost be said to erase the boundary between inside and outside — a place where you become a little uncertain as to whether you have stepped into a work of art or into part of the museum. This uncertainty is important to me, as it encourages people to think and sense beyond the limits within which they are accustomed to function.”
