Jens Gram Dunker

He attended the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry (1910-11) and took architectural education (1911–14) at Technische Hochschule in Dresden.

He first worked at several architectural offices in Christiania including with Morgenstierne & Eide, with Arnstein Arneberg and with Harald Hals (1876–1959).

Together with Gudolf Blakstad, he drew the theatre building for Det Nye Teater which opened in Oslo during 1929.

This building marked an important transition between neo-classicism and functionalism in Norwegian architecture.

In 1938 he was hired as a manager at the Royal Palace, Oslo, retiring in 1962 after a lengthy building restoration that commenced in 1950.
