\u201dWe are also celebrating 75 years as an independent, partner-owned architectural practice. This gives us a degree of architectural freedom that we value highly.\"<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gunnar Krohn, Eigil Hartvig Rasmussen and Knud Holscher, who joined the firm\u2019s management team in the 1960s, were visionary architects inspired by international trends.

A modular building system formed the basis for several of the landmark projects, which still stand today as examples of successful, functional architecture; Hvidovre Hospital, R\u00f8dovre Centrum and, not least, Odense University, whose structural form and level of detail set new standards for the architecture of the time. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"Just as in the past, we are still creating welfare architecture today when we build schools, hospitals and swimming pools. At the same time, we have recently expanded our business to include both a greater focus on residential construction and a department specialising in client consultancy, precisely because our long experience in the industry provides an excellent foundation for providing holistic advice.\".
To support our focus on international markets and our work in both new and existing business areas, we have launched a new initiative to mark our anniversary website<\/a> \u201din three languages.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
