Alan Dunlop of gm+ad, the Glaswegian architects designing the Radisson Hotel Glasgow, familiarised himself with Arne Jacobsen's buildings when his practice won the contract to build the new SAS hotel. Dunlop felt Arne Jacobsen's interior no longer reflected Radisson's attitude to what a modern hotel interior should be, and rather than being an asset the fallout from Jacobsen's hotel became a burden for them. Dunlop considered that 'SAS disliked the Copenhagen building. What gm+ad thought of as a cool, modernist and timeless interior, they would consider to be a cold and dated airport lounge'. July 2002
