Haldor Larsen Børve (19 August 1857 – 11 August 1933) was an architect from Ullensvang in Hordaland, Norway. Børve started an architectural practice in Porsgrunn in 1889 and designed numerous buildings in Telemark and Vestfold, many of them influenced by Dragestil and the Nordic National Romantic style. Among his best-known works are Dalen Hotel from 1894 and Porsgrunn City Hall from 1904/1905. ==Career== Børve was born in Ullensvang in 1857 to farmer Lars Jørgensen Børve and his wife Anna Haldorsdatter Eidnes. He attended Trondheim Technical Vocational School ((ノルウェー語:Trondhjems Tekniske Læreanstalt)) from 1877 to 1880, after which he worked for a few years as a junior architect. His only major project during this time was managing the restoration of Ullensvang Church in Ullensvang from 1883 to 1886, a project led by Bergen architect Christian Christie. In 1887, he pursued further education at the Polytechnic Institute of Hannover in Germany. He was among the last of the great Norwegian architects to attend the architectural school in Hannover, which had greatly influenced Norwegian architecture in the latter half of the 19th century. He finished his studies in 1889, and with the help of a government grant for engineers, he moved to Porsgrunn in Telemark, Norway and started his own architectural firm that same year.〔〔 Haldor Larsen Børve's first work under the new firm was the Borgestad school built in Skien in 1889. The building was bestowed upon the local school district by local shipping magnate and future prime minister Gunnar Knudsen. Though the building has long since been demolished, it was once a grand three-story stone building in the Neo-Gothic style, a symmetrical design with steep gables on both ends which featured Gothic window designs and pointed arches.〔http://www.slekt.org/books/quisling/hist1/019.html〕 While Børve had learned a great deal about contemporary German architecture during his studies in Hannover, as shown in his use of Neo-Gothic and Swiss chalet styles. He was also a great proponent of Norwegian romantic nationalism and often integrated elements from Dragestil and National Romantic style into his work, as exemplified by Dalen Hotel, Børve's best-known work. In addition to his architectural practice, Børve was also the head teacher and later administrator at Porsgrunn Technical Evening School ((ノルウェー語:Porsgrunns tekniske aftenskole)). He was active as an architect until the early 1920s, and died on 11 August 1933 in Porsgrunn, aged 75.〔 Following Børve's death, his daughter, architect Alfhild Børve, took over her father's practice along with Haldor Larsen Børve's assistant Ødegaard. The next year, Johannes Laurentius Borchsenius took over as co-owner with Alfhild Børve, and the firm changed its name to Arkitektkontoret Børve & Borchsenius. Borchsenius was an architect from Skien who studied at the Norwegian Institute of Technology. He was responsible for the construction of camps for Norwegian refugees in Sweden during World War II and, following the war, the reconstruction of areas in Finnmark such as Vadsø and Kirkenes. The newly named firm designed several buildings in the Porsgrunn area using functionalist principles, including the Folkets hus just across from Børve's Vår Frue Church. The company still exists today under the same name, making it one of the longest-running architectural firms in Norway.〔http://www.ark-bb.no/index.php?side=firma&id=4〕〔http://www.ark-bb.no/filer/Byggekunst_BB100aar.pdf〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Haldor Børve」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
