Arne Jacobsen – House of the Future (1929)

Exhibition poster with a drawing of the House of the Future, (1929), published in connection with the Arne Jacobsen exhibition at Louisiana in 2002 on the occasion of the world-famous architect's 100th birthday. The exhibition was a retrospective tribute to the architect and his modernist design and furniture art, and the House of the Future was Jacobsen's breakthrough as an architect.

Arne Jacobsen designed the House of the Future in 1929 together with Flemming Lassen, and the futuristic house was presented - and became a winning project and a crowd magnet - at a large construction and housing fair in Forum in Frederiksberg, the same year.

The house is designed in the Jacobsen tradition as a functional one, expressing man's control over the elements of air, earth and water - with easy access to the house by car, boat - and a helicopter on the roof. The House of the Future is free of superfluities and is completely clean, focusing on the function of the building itself, as a kind of "living machine".

The House of the Future is referred to as Arne Jacobsen's breakthrough as an architect with a wider audience.
