Looking forward to the launch of the ‘Ark Journal‘ , a new Scandinavian magazine of interiors, design, architecture and art. In Volume One Sørensen Leather and Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen, co founder of Norm Architects will explore fundamental themes and the enduring appeal of modernism.
Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen: ‘Anthropomorphism’ originates from the Greek word ánthrōpos (ἄνθρωπος,lit. “human”) and morphē (μορφή, “form”). It attributes human characteristics to non-human entities, and in doing so helps us to understand the world around us by relating it to our own shape, size and emotions.In architecture and design, anthropomorphism (or bio-morphism) is used to create spaces or objects that are inspired by or stimulate human symmetry, scale, or structures of living nature.
