Rodovre City Hall, Denmark National Bank, staircases, Arne JacobsenAbstract
In this paper we analyze two suspended staircases, with the same structural type, designed by Arne Jacobsen: the staircase of the Rodovre City Hall and the staircase of the Denmark National Bank. Both are essential part of the main access hall into buildings. They were designed with seven years of difference, they have technical progress, but they keep same management rules within the project. We show what gives them meaning and shape: expression, function, technique, position, relationship with other elements and construction system. From few original documents obtained, we have prepared and presented a new documentation, with that we can highlight the different elements. With this work, anyone interested in these staircases can get all the data about them; these data for various reasons were not publicly available, until the present paper. Thus, we make available another public source of ideas about the technique and philosophy of Jacobsen.
