El pabellón Niels Bohr. Tradición Danesa y Modernidad

Niels Bohr´s guest house was the first building by the Danish architect Vilhelm Wohlert (1920-2007). Rooted into the Danish tradition, represents a renewal based on absorption of foreign influences: American architecture and Japanese tradition.
The wood box has the responsive character of a living organism, which is always changing according to variation in daylight or temperature. Folding doors and shutters generate extensions of the rooms. When they are opened, they create a prolongation of the interior space, which spreads out to the surrounding nature, and expands to the exterior space, allowing its mobilization. An architecture of flows is set.
It performs an example of the modernity as the refinement in the technique of boundaries and the idea that architecture is not a material object but the space generated inside. It could be seen as an ikebana, the Japanese art of flowers; “the art of space” where is produced a circulation of air between its components; something alive that expresses the third dimension, the asymmetrical balance, an interest for the material, its texture and the emotional effect that emanates.
There are harmony and balance, which transmit serenity and beauty; an encounter with nature; a world of relationships gentle to human beings.
