Architect Axel Høeg-Hansen is ”the man who built the modern Aarhus”, the second largest city of Denmark. He did this in the years 1909 to 1937, when Aarhus was developing from a provincial town into the main city of Jutland. Høeg-Hansen designed most of his buildings in a personal neo-classical style and was thereby contributing to the popularization of this style in Denmark, which soon became mainstream. Unlike other architects, for him this was not a just a style, it was ”the only style” and he never made the switch to modernism. This is the first book on Høeg-Hansen, written by Mogens Brandt Poulsen, illustrated with original drawing material from Høeg-Hansen’s archive, black&white pictures taken by Høeg-Hansen himself and new pictures taken by photographer Aage Lund Jensen.
