The Danish artist Asger Jorn (1914-1973) is internationally reknown for his activities within the CoBrA and the International Situationist groups. Quite apart from his paintings, prints, ceramics and sculptures, Jorn produced a remarkable amount of theoretical work. His ideas are still extremely relevant to contemporary discourse. By developing the concept of an ‘Architecture Sauvage’, a notion that has been coined by Guy Debord many years later, Asger Jorn tries to map out a series of perspectives for the way modern architecture can help to create a pleasing and dynamic everyday environment for human beings. These perspectives are still remarkably important for contemporary architects today.
