ART FACTORY IN CARLSBERGBYEN Spring 2015 | Aarhus School of Architecture, bachelor thesis | Professor: Peter Dahl The art factory is a cultural institution with space for artists to develop, produce, and exhibit art and interact with the public. The program holds twenty private studios, workshops, a mock-up space, an exhibition room, cafe, administration and more. Inspiration was taken from the context in Carlsbergbyen, a new city district on the former Carlsberg brewery site in Copenhagen, where the factory typology is very present through the composition of big volumes and chimneys and the use of brick. The “art factory� consists of 3 volumes with each their function and appearance. The ground floor and 1st floor is very open to the public, while the upper floors accommodate more private work spaces for the artists. Two big loops, a public and a private, provides circulation through the complex. [4 of 25]

The 20 private studio spaces each measuring 4x5m are organized in a 3-storey volume with a perforated brick facade, which provides the spaces with diffuse light. The distribution of the studios in the volume creates interesting in-between spaces for common use and gives each of the studios spaces unique qualities. Some are more extrovert penetrating the facade and some are more introvert and closed.

BOATHOUSE AT GREEN LAKE
Fall 2014 | University of Washington, ARCH400 | Professor: Dan Stettler Green Lake Crew boathouse is designed to be a vibrant building, which one experiences right when entering the building. The sloping ceiling in the entry hall directs the attention to the downstairs work-out area. The visual connections, both internally and to the outside, are directed by the shape of the roof, one of the main design features. The “wet� programs such as work-out areas, locker rooms, and boat storage are located downstairs with direct connection to the lake, while the administration and multi-purpose room are upstairs with views directed out on the lake.

PRECIPITATION CATCHERS
Fall 2013 | Aarhus School of Architecture | Professor: Izabela Wieczorek The project is an investigation of how different weather phenomena interacts with space and affects the perception of it. The funnel-shaped membrane structures and the structural grid was developed through a range of physical experiments on models using water and powdered sugar to resemble rain and snow. The precipitation changed the perception of the space both by changing it physically and by changing the light and acoustic conditions. The water would collect in puddles and reflect the light up onto the structure, while the snow would pile up both on and under it, which would create shade and change the acoustics.

COMPETITION VINDEGADE 75 August 2015 | VESTHARDT ARKITEKTER | Competition
Competition proposal to design 35 housing units for students at Vindegade 75, Odense, Denmark. As an answer to the competition brief, asking for well-lit, compact student housing in an urban area, these two storey 50m2 units are lit by large facade windows and a “green” light shaft in back, which is constituted by a neighbouring wall. A steel beam grid provides access to all apartments and rooftop gardens in the grey brick development. The project was awarded 1st prize.

TRANSFORMATION PRORA
Spring 2014 | Aarhus School of Architecture | Professor: Tine Nørgaard The 4 km long complex “Seebad Rügen” or “Prora” was built to be a holiday retreat for young German couples as part of nazi Germany’s propaganda program “Kraft durch Freude”. The transformation should make it a retreat for the department of performance art at Universität der Kunste, Berlin; a place for practice and performance. The existing hallways were rearranged and openings in the floor decks were made to create more interesting spatial relations and visual connections. An organic shaped “parasite” made from polished stainless steel contains the performance space. It penetrates and brakes with the long uniform facade and reflects its surroundings - establishing new visual connections when looking down along the seaside facade. Placed above the public functions such as the cafe, library and public work-out space, and under the private housing units, studios and rehearsal rooms; the parasite also serves as mediator between public and private.

AQUIRED TECHNIQUES
Winter 2013 | Aarhus School of Architecture | Professor: Espen Lunde The workshop focused on different presentation methods and techniques. An analog collage made upon an old technical drawing of a machine part was translated into physical model with movable parts, which was later photographed while exploring different light settings. A photo-collage was then produced to depict the model and its features.

CONCRETE SADDLE
Fall 2014 | University of Washington | Professor: Kimo Griggs Concrete stool made during a “making and materials� course. It was cast in a plywood mold, and the top was smoothened out and sanded, which gives the vertical and the horizontal surfaces different appearances - rough and straigt vs curved and smooth.
