‘QUESTIONING WOOD AS ARCHITECTURAL- AND BUILDING MATERIAL’

Minor Semester: Exchange in Aarhus, Denmark | 2018

During the third year, I attended a onesemester minor exchange program in Aarhus, Denmark. The program was called ‘Technology, Building Culture and Habitation’. This program focused on hands-on development of new forms of architectural design, where materials and technology were explored at the university’s workshops, often through digital design tools and digital fabrication, Technology and building culture were studied through case studies, experiments and project development in relation to architectural expression, daylight, geometry, materials, fabrication and montage, as well as spatial, social, political and theoretical aspects. Wood was a key element during these studies. A final experiment was done in groups of two were we created a proposal for a facade design for the university where utilisation of the facade itself, together with the architectural expression, was important. The full portfolio can be found on my LinkedIn.
