Halldor Gunnløgsson

Halldor Gunnløgsson was son of the merchant Halldor Johannes Gunnløgsson and the actress Else Sten. He graduated from senior school in 1937 and continued at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture, in Copenhagen, from which he graduated in 1942. Among his teachers were Kay Fisker and Steen Eiler Rasmussen. Just after his final examinations during the Second World War he left for Sweden and stayed in the neighbouring country during the years 1942-44.
During his career he travelled to North and South America, Japan, and the Near East, and the inspiration found on these trips are delicately conditioned to a Scandinavian design fundamental to his buildings. He spent his teaching career at the School of Architecture of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, where he was initially employed as an instructor, before becoming a lecturer in 1956. He was appointed professor in the building arts in 1959, and dean in 1969. From 1961-62 he was employed as a Visiting Professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States. Gunnløgsson was one of the leading figures in the Danish modernist architecture, especially in the field of detached houses. His personal interpretations of the modernist Western-American and the traditional Japanese architectural traditions were shaped by a consciousness of specific local qualities and demands. Using materials like wood and stone combined with a limited range of colours the impression of his works is simple and minimalist, though at the same time very precious.
