A small practice based in Copenhagen, Søren
Robert Lund Arkitekter MAA PAR opened
after winning the competition for The Arken Museum in
their home country of Denmark. Still their most recognizable
building, the museum established Lund as an architect able to
handle a relatively large commission with a small practice (currently
eight employees) while achieving a high level of design. That
building's datum is a long, sloping wall with heterogeneous forms
and planes radiating from this main spine. At the new printing
factory for the newspaper Berlingske Tidende in Slagelse, the
building's center is two metal-clad sculptural forms that contain
the printing hall, with adjacent low-slung wooden boxes.
