City hall by Jacobsen with Erik Møller—Norwegian marble cladding and a clock tower landmark. Called anti-monumental yet given a tower after debate. Early total design of fittings as well as massing.

Highlights

  • Tower and body — How does the vertical tighten the horizontal hall?
  • Stairs and rails — How do details soften civic formality?
