Robin Boyd visited Denmark in September 1950 with a list of contacts from his Melbourne University colleague Rae Featherstone. Amongst these was key Danish modernist Arne Jacobsen, then re-establishing his practice after escaping to Sweden during the War. Boyd visited and admired Jacobsen’s newly completed Søholm terrace houses, and called his Aarhus Town Hall “outstanding” in a letter to Brian Lewis. Other Danish buildings that caught Boyd’s eye included the ornate spires of the Copenhagen Stock Exchange and St Nicholas Church, and the dramatic cantilevered entrance canopy of Vilhelm Lauritzen’s Radiohuset.
