The ´Temple for Hilma´ is a project that honors Hilma af Klint as an groundbreaking artist. The museum is designed to host her art, as a permanent exhibition, as well as other relevant artists that, during their life, reflected upon the topics to whom Hilma was particularly devoted, such as war, religion, genders and, more generally, the diversion in the world; topics which are as important today as they were at her time. With her scientific approach, her paintings were able to blur the lines between art and science, proposing a seamless
integration of scientific research and personal expression. Seeking inspiration from her approach as well as from her art. The site is located just outside Stockholm, more precisely on the island LindingĂś, near the city of Hersby. Within walking distance, it is possible to reach the new, underdevelopment, area of Stockholm: New royal Seaport. The site directly faces the fjord; transforming the place into an exposed and secluded area at once.

The objective of the project was to create a high density, mix-use, zero energy building as part of the redevelopment of HĂĽndvĂŚrkerkvarteret in the heart of Aalborg. The proposal combines residential housing and public functions and revolves around the integrated design process, creating a holistic, sustainable approach whose pivotal point focuses on the social and environmental aspect. Key aspects of the design, in regards of the latter, involves abiding the energy frame legislations of BR15 Class 2020 in terms of energy frame and indoor climate, through passive strategies and renewable energy sources.
The building is designed as a large slender complex, that is defined by five segments of four housing blocks an elevated walkway. The complex is a mx-use building, with 5 different apartment units for the users, respectively: students, couples, singles and families. The building forms a unique complex that is clear in it functions and programming. To promote communal and spatial qualities, as known from suburban areas, the complex relates to the context by cultivating the creek and creating openness on the ground level for public flow, serving the needs for both the young students and families by creating spaces for privacy and functions for social interactions.

The purpose of this project was to describe the design proposal for a new church located in the parish of Hatlehol, situated in the eastern part of Ålesund, Norway. The tectonic approach has been in relation to form, structure, materials and details, as well as the Nordic approach. The church was designed with the site’s nature in mind whilst focusing on the materials honesty and simplicity. The final presented church is dug underground, complimenting the site, which is characterized by an undulating and steep terrain. The only thing visible above terrain is the roof of the church, which has a dominant
upwards-sloping form, almost creating a mountain like shape pointing towards the sky. The visualization shows the meeting with this shape approaching the site from the northern corner. A major focus during the design process has been creating a church that blends in with its surrounding environment. The building does not seek to disturb its surroundings and must therefore become integrated part of it; with the exception of the church’s tower who’s assigned to create a dominating landmark in the parish of Hatlehol.
