Kay Fisker
Kay Otto Fisker a Danish Architect (1893-02-14 to 1965-06-21)
Kay Fisker was a Danish architect and architectural tutor who is known as a leading exponent of Danish Functionalism but is perhaps less well known than he should be as his work has been hard to place within the conventional narratives of early modernism.
