The following document is a Summarize of the different projects developed in my studies. The main graphic tools were REVIT, AUTOCAD and Adobe Photoshop.
CARLSBERG HALMLAGERET Project developed at Copenhaguen School of architecture and Design from October to January of 2012. The description of the project was to refurbish and renovate the old building Carlsber Halmlageret as a part of the Master Plan carried out in the area of the old Carlsberg factory. The main request was the building to be with recretional and social use.

LIGHTHOUSE AARHUS HARBOUR
Project developed at Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) from October to January of 2013. The project premises were to redesign: The Lighthouse building in the project is originally designed by the Architects 3XN and the consulting company Moe & Brødsgaard who has made the material from the project available for redesign. The original design of the building is intended as a hotel complex, but is in this course redesigned for office facilities, which creates other requirements for the design and functionality of the interior layout. The project is carried out as a real-life construction project and a project team of different disciplines is put together to achieve a high level of coorporation between subjects. This is done to achieve a high performance building within all aspects.
The overall concept in the architecture of the Lighthouse, is to create a visual feeling that is somewhat overwhelming and impressing. It is the desire from the project team to create a building that is remarkable and serves as a monument of the city, and a building that is renowned to the world. The building will be expressing luxury through the materials in the facade, and the size itself will make a statement of creativity and modern technology.
View
Landmark
When you arrive to the building by foot the first thing that will be visible is the atrium where the entrance is placed, and you will enter the building through a large glass facade.

In connection to the building a two storey carpark, below the building, which facilitates heavy traffic as cars and the soft bicycles. There is a heavy emphasis on the bikes, since it is a wish to state a desire for green and sustainable solutions, and the fact that the original design proposal by 3XN, did not facilitate any cars on the peninsula. To accommodate that wish as widely as possible, the access to the carpark is carried out by a tunnel underground through the area.

Site Plan
LIGHTHOUSE AARHUS HARBOUR
Plans: Single office (left); Open offices (right)
Through daylight analysis in Velux Daylight Visualizer carried out on the 20th floor, it is documented that there is plenty of daylight available in the offices, both open and single layout. The requirement is 2 % on the workspace, and as can be seen on the visualization, this value is present at the back of the office.
The structural design approached the numerous requisites from design, fire and services, ending with a perfect connection between the first design and the final use. The users that will be using this building can enjoy of the sky-bar installation in the top floor and preform a good work at the offices; with the structural warrantee of total comfort against movements Structual static system

Evacuation plans
The building fire safety was design in order to be totally evacuated in a case of fire.
The Facades of the Lighthouse is one of the crucial elements when it comes to the expression of the building, which is why it is of great importance to create a facade that fits to the concept and has a way of showing the intentions and visions within the design. The exterior of the building is the presentation to the surroundings and is the visual look to the outside world. The expression and execution of the facade system is intended as an easy buildable solution with a sustainable and aesthetic outcome. Linearity vs. Sloping lines The structure of the building creates a lot of sloped lines that gives a tilted feeling, when gazing upon it. From the design team there is a desire to express the sloped lines by creating a system of linearity. A horizontal linearity in the facade will break the skewed lines and make it easier understandable by the viewer. The facade system is a curtain wall system assembled by a prefabricated module designed to fit the unique design.
Curtain wall module: Prefabricated facade module to be mounted directly on the loadbearing structure.
The sloping corners of the facade is expressed by a curtain wall completely covered by glass. These areas will provide the interior with a large amount of daylight, and will in some areas have a coating that prevents the heat to enter the offices, but won’t be seen from the outside.In the vertical sides of the building, most of the offices will be placed, and the windows and curtain wall module is designed to fit the width of an office. The offices that is placed in the corners, will have a glass curtain wall instead. Other facade orientations are presented later in the report.
The module is specially designed for the Lighthouse
Interior cladding: Vapour barrier and 2x13mm gypsum board
Main structure: 2 layer structure of 200 mm and 100 mm, Aluminum profiles with embedded insulation and window
Exterior Cladding: 8 mm fibercement boards on top of a layer of wind breaking gypsum board 9 mm, 2x2 mm distance boards
OTHER PROJECTS
DANMARKS TEKNISKE UNIVERSITET At this part of the Document, It is graphically exposed a small and graphic part of the different projects developed at Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) in the period of time from 2012 to 2014.
Use of Grasshopper and rhino in connection with Autodesk Robot. Developed a parametrical design of a truss in grasshopper, exporting it to Autodesk Robot, which could allow to analyse the structure

Design of a Deep excavation with the use of the FEM software Plaxis, in a Geotechnical engineering course. In order to develop a metro project in a densely populated city, the design of a temporary deep excavation has to be performed. From a soil profile (Left up), it is design a retaining wall, checking the stability analysis. After a pre-design is calculated (Left down). It is used FEM method in order to check the construction procedure, which will be divided in different stages (Center image). And Plaxis will give us the final bending moment of the wall (Right up) and the possible settlements (Right down) amont other analysis information. Stages of the design of a Deep excavation with Plaxis
