PORTFOLIO SIMPLE
The following portfolio includes selected projects from my academic and professional experience. With the first three projects, it focuses on my work created during the last year of my Master studies. The main theme of the three projects thermal zoning in architectural design, largely overlaps; they have mostly followed and informed each other throughout the year.
Programme: Architecture and Extreme Environments, KADKTutors: David Garcia, Jakob Knudsen, Marianne Hansen, Thomas Bøjstrup
The last two projects are brief examples of my earlier work.

Project title: RESPONSIVE HABITATLocation: Reykjavik, Iceland
Size: 3000 m2
‘Responsive Habitat’ is a proposal for Geothermal Sports, Bathing and Leisure Facilities in Reykjavik, Iceland. It is an investigation on the meaning of thermal diversity in spatial design.
The project asks the questions:What are the potentials offered by thermal diversity in spatial design?
How to challenge the understanding of thermal comfort as being equal to thermal neutrality in building design?
The aim of the project is to challenge the generic and conservative approach towards thermal zones in contemporary building design, investigate the relationship between the human body and temperature, and use the ‘invisible’ phenomenon of temperature as a ‘visible’ spatial quality.

Reykjavik Municipal Plan expects large increase in the population of Reykjavik in the next 30 years; it emphasizes on DENSIFICATION of the current urban area, rather than building new residential areas in the outskirts of the city. The intent is to stress on the importance of places for sport, physical and social activities in a city with weather conditions making life outdoors difficult for a lot of the time around the year.
The proposal is to be understood as separate architectural elements, which are intertwined and co-exist, rather than as a single building entity. These elements, mostly inserted in the surrounding mount, investigate an interest in building within the landscape and create archipelagos of diverse thermal conditions. Programmatically, they add to and aim to enhance the existing site situation.

Light & Materiality StudiesIn daytime, light falls on the right long wall from skylights on one side of the ceiling. When you swim back and forward the sense of orientation and number counting is easily lost; the light qualities in
the space help you to orientate yourself.
ACADEMIC RESEARCH
Autumn 2014 - Spring 2015 Master Degree Work: KADK, CopenhagenArchitecture and Extreme Environments
Project title: THE ROLE OF THERMAL DIVERSITY IN SPATIAL DESIGNResearch work carried out through the entire academic year in 2015,
translated into two design projects: 1:1 Physical Prototype & Building Design proposal.
Themes:Thermal neutralityBioclimatic comfort zone Thermodynamic boundaryHomogeneous vs. Heterogeneous thermal environment
The term thermal neutrality [ref. Thermal Delight in Architecture 1979 by Lisa Heschong] in the project refers to the generic approach towards thermal zones in building design [200 - 220].
This approach opposes the way the human body understands temperature. The way our bodies read thermal information is never neutral; it always reflects what is directly happening to and in the body; a constantly changing reality.

CONSTRUCTION PROTOTYPING
Autumn 2015 Master Degree Work: KADK, CopenhagenArchitecture and Extreme Environments
Project title: WAX PISTONS: Thermally Dynamic Mechanical Elements
Design, development and construction process of 1:1 physical prototypes
The constructs are three mechanical elements which test and spatialise different thermal conditions. Wax pistons [normally used for auto-ventilation in greenhouses] are used as a way to transfer thermal energy into mechanical movement and spatial transformation. They put in motion expandable and collapsible structures, when change in temperature occurs.
In December 2014, the three constructs were unfolded in three locations in Iceland – landscapes with very different natural characteristics.The purpose of the fieldtrip and the work prior it was to initiate critical architectural approach and develop a way of investigation of challenging environmental conditions.

URBAN & LAND-SCAPE DESIGN
CHINA
2013 Professional work: ‘Vision’ Tianjin Urban Planning and Design Institute, China
Project title: QUARRIES REDEVELOPMENTLocation: Ji Xian, Beihuan, China
Type: Master plan & Landscape design
I was involved in analyses of: the topography and natural characteristics of the quarries; the existing to-be-reprogrammed factory buildings;
the relationship between different areas of the quarries and the city.
The desire is the city to become a main tourist attraction.
The quarries of Ji Xian are being regenerated into a holiday resort and residential area.
The work included the development of a master plan for the area. Further in the project, my focus was the plan for one particular quarry and the design work on different landscape features.
HAPPISBURGH SCULPTURE
PARK
2011 Bachelor Degree Work: University of Nottingham Unit leaders: Alisdair Russell, Guvenc Topcuoglu
Project title: ARCHITECTURE FOR A RESTLESS LANDSCAPE*Location: Happisburgh, Norfolk, UK
*ref. Augmented Landscapes 2007 Smout Allen
The Happisburgh’s cliffs are eroding gradually by the power of the sea; fields and houses are falling into the water. This dramatic situation inspires strong feelings and inspiration for artists and people emotionally connected with the place.
The project explores the influence of extreme natural conditions on human imagination, the relationship between depression and creativeness.
The proposal is for a few buildings forming an artists’ community at the edge of the cliff: private studios with small living spaces, a common building, and a public exhibition space.
The restless landscape is shaped around the sculptural and building elements.
