Book DIPLOMA THESIS tutored by ELIZABETH HATZ during SPRING 2020 at THE ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY in STOCKHOLM.
n effort to interrogate architecture’s prevailing myths, and a practice for how to live and die well as an architect in the Anthropocene epoch. It is striving for joyful representation and speculation for still possible pasts, presents and futures, through the ideas of Donna Haraway, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. There are eight chapters dealing with care, letting be, humour and shaming, fabulous speculation, non-quantifiable architecture as dissent, graphic design, and compost architecture with wormy architects. It’s about not telling another killer story, because they always end with apocalypse, and instead tell stories of gathering. Because it matters which architectures architect architecture, which lines line lines.
BOOK - GARDENS OF COMPOST - HYPERLINK TO FULL PUBLICATION
A semi-fiction about a dissenting architecture that came alive, and her inhabitants. A corruption of non-quantifiability. Not hard or soft, but seeping flexibility. Mythical to power but familiar to affect.

PUBLIC S PAC E FOURTH YEAR EXCHANGE STUDIES; tutored by KENGO KUMA and SENG KUAN during AUTUMN 2018 at TODAI in TOKYO.
t is a monument for all foreign domestic workers in Hong Kong, for all the time they spend not being “workers”. How they have talked, danced, shared meals, helped each other, organized and occupied during Sundays. How they have come to empower not only themselves, but also the rest of Hong Kong. How then, to design this as an architect, as part of a discipline? Our role is tightly weaved into the dominant systems of power and our structures will at their core act to discipline sites and people for that power. It is about realizing that any intervention I do, no matter how well-meaning, will endanger their position there, and how to design as to minimize that risk. That being said, I should do my best to provide the structures they can’t make for themselves and solidify their presence outside of Sundays. It can be spatially guiding, but not forcing. My personal presence, and the architectural presence I produce, should be ethereal but definitely not non-existent. Most important, it is about recognizing what they have already done and enable them to do it further, giving them more space to occupy, more space to display. They have proven themselves as brilliant practitioners of architecture—if supplied with powerful spaces, they will undoubtedly use them in powerful ways.
PUBLIC SPACE - MAKING PERMANENCE
“What architectural supports have to be in place for each of us to exercise a certain freedom of movement, one that is necessary in order to exercise the right to public assembly.” Judith Butler, ‘Rethinking Vulnerability and Resistance’
“Thousands of domestic workers continued to gather in Central on Sundays, laughing, talking, eating en masse. They demand to be seen, and they refused to be moved.” Chen & Szeto, ‘Worlding Multiculturalisms’ BIRD VIEW OF STATUE SQUARE, HONG KONG, SKETCHUP & V-RAY

DINNÉTZ VILLA PAGE 10 of 22
L VILA SECOND YEAR; tutored by NINA TAGAVI and PELLE BACKMAN during SPRING 2015 at THE ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY in STOCKHOLM.
ey! Don’t build here!” is the first I hear on a visit to the location. It’s an older lady who yells from the top balcony at the adjacent apartment building. “Build - but not here!” Simultaneously villas are a somewhat troublesome typology within the movements of urban planning in Stockholm, questions of density, economy, and sustainability abound. This project tries to deal with these two troubles. Firstly by raising the houses off the ground and coding the yard beneath as public. And secondly by fitting three separate villas within one plot. It was a training in doing tight plan solutions, following building codes for a type of project that doesn’t get built in Sweden, and approaching the suburban villa as one would approach a vacation home.

BORING
FOURTH YEAR; tutored by CLAES SÖRSTEDT and MALIN ÅBERGWENNERHOLM during AUTUMN 2017 TO SPRING 2018 at THE ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY in STOCKHOLM. tarting my fourth year I went towards a more theoretical and academic approach to architecture. This came with the studio Ugly & More that aimed to produce a publication on ugliness and boredom. It was initially focused on reading, writing and discussing about ugliness and boredom in architecture - what they are, why they are, what they can be, what they can do, and so forth. Mixed in were a few visual tasks and as a final exercise we were to individually produce an ugly extension in one of Stockholm’s suburbs. I’ve decided to include a few samples of my work for this portfolio.

Kinder garten BACHELOR PROJECT tutored by KONRAD KRUPINSKI and MARTIN ÖHMAN during SPRING 2016 at THE ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY in STOCKHOLM. started the project by doing a workshop with a classmate using a derivative of the German office Baupiloten’s methods. The goal of the workshop was to truly engage the children in the design. Usually when asking a client what they want they’re constricted by their own reality. Taking children as an example, they will ask for more slides or a trampoline. By using a seemingly non-connected and abstract task the children can express a more creative vision of their future environment. We had a group of 5 year old children that we showed 9 pictures of natural phenomena to spark their imagination. We then instructed them to “construct worlds” inside A4-boxes. During the whole process speaking to the children to understand their thought process as thoroughly as possible. On top of this, the concept was based on the ongoing debate regarding the lack of outdoor areas for children in Stockholm as well as the pedagogies of Reggio Emilia and Montessori. From this I derived four key points. The importance of exploration and independence, denuded architecture to make the building a tool for teaching in itself, free play outside, and respecting children’s inherent creativity.

A narrow point that opens up. A place where you can be by yourself but not alone. A simple grid of pillars and a mirror roof above can give children so many possibilities for play. A translucent wall between the two pre-school classes. Play with the silhouettes in the other class.
