1 YEAR - THE HOUSE ON THE “BORDER” BRØNDBYØSTER COPENHAGEN We worked with the exciting habitation and the surrounding landscape. The term “on the boarder” was put into play. To me the term became important in the sense of moving through the woods. The “border” between the dense and the more filtrated, and between the brightness and the darkness. The house should underline and incorporate these feelings of entering a dense room, which opens up and “holds” the light.

2 YEAR - A CAMPINGSITE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY DYREHAVEN COPENHAGEN
The exercise was about habitation in the open space. The experience and understanding of the landscape defined the starting point for the assignment. By analyzing the space characteristics of the woods I used the “portal” to develop the room of the cottages. The cottages should be interpreted as portals/gates in the “wooden-room”, having small peep- holes that framed the pictures of the woods

2 YEAR - BUILDING WITHIN A COMPLEX CITY
STUDENT DORMS INCLUDING A SPORT CENTRE, TIETGENSGADE. The building should be observed as a “society of rooms” in context to the city. In this interpretation I wanted The student dorms to stand out as a “world of its own”. A structured chaos. The structure and constructions make up a symbiosis “with its own life” that draws our attention and pulls us into the building and creates an atmosphere of intimacy

3 YEAR - THE LABORATORY NORDHAVN STATION
We were each given a specific building for this task. I looked at an old train station in the northern part of Copenhagen. Through thorough examinations I obtained a good understanding of the building and its context. The investigation was concluded by modeling a hand- hold object that contained the characteristics and essence of the building.

3 YEAR - BACHELOR PROJECT THE CONVERTED SPACE
The site of this project was an old brewery building, part of the Carlsberg breweries in the west of Copenhagen. This whole area is being transformed into a new neighborhood of the city. Our assignment was to make a lobby room that would connect a planned railway station, our building and the rest of the site. The scale of the building and the existing structure was very dominant. To challenge that I worked with massive light wells that attacked the existing building and defined the new movement through the building. I also looked on how the new elements would set themselves in between the existing structure and expose it.

4 YEAR - POST WATER FRONT LIVING
WAW 2009 (World architecture workshop) - Lianyungang, China As China continues to expand exponentially as a dominant exporter, the requirement for greater and more efficient exporting infrastructure is necessary. Lianyungang, situated on one of the largest arterials, the Yangtze River, is an ideal location for constructing and expanding transportation networks both domestically and internationally. Currently Lianyungang is developing as a container terminal and distribution port which is connected with the NECB (New Eurasian Continental Bridge); an Eastern gateway going westward to its terminal at the Rotterdam Europort in the Netherlands. Lianyungung is situated at the cross point, connecting China’s coastal wing and inland spine. Utilizing this position, the Chinese government plans to build along this economic belt line, consequently and potentially becoming one of Chinas principal core distribution networks for the future. Our task this semester was to work on the master plan of the city whist looking closer at one of two sites, both in an urban and architectural scale. Site 1 SEH(Salt Export Haven) Urban Connector for LYG past and future- is the former main salt collection and distribution port adjacent to railway terminal with manufacturing factory. Site 2 CBD(Central Business District) Post Waterfront City living, located on the existing vast salt farm of Haizhou bay The first project was done individually at RMIT Melbourne, where I concentrated on site 2 working on both the master plan and architectural scheme. Inspired by patterns and existing city structures, I worked on the “spaces in between”, the city’s public spaces and squares. And how the pattern could be used both in a large urban scale and small scale.

4 YEAR - POST WATER FRONT LIVING
WAW 2009 (World architecture workshop) - Lianyungang With our initial preliminary work completed, we set off to China to finally see the city we had been working on. Coming together with students from 4 different countries from around the world, France, China, Japan and Australia, we began our intensive two week workshop. In week one, we worked on the overall master plan and then concentrated on the architectural scheme in week two. Working in groups, we were able to combine all of our ideas, resulting in an exceptionally constructive workshop. Our group worked on the site connecting the old city with the new waterfront CBD. This scheme opens up Site One to the sea and embraces the tidal changes that come with such a gesture. The carving of rivers along existing axis and sculpting of the earth pays respect to the past, whilst looking to the future. Much like the pause between breaths, the density of the city along the water clusters together, and then there is relief before the next. Buildings respond to the existing grid-like network of salt farms, increasing and decreasing in size, intertwining program and experience. The flooding of laneways creates ephemeral spaces, fleeting between tides. The absence of a space for an hour, a day or maybe even a week, makes these locations more special, more appreciated and celebrated. The future will see these laneways continuously flooded and perhaps on days of exceptionally low tide will give that generation a glimpse into the past. The loss and gain of these spaces is a reference to the impermanence of all things; everything is subject to change.

4 YEAR - ALTER
ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH INSTITUTE - CBD MELBOURNE We found an existing building/site in the city that we would make our alteration/extension to. I looked at The Royal arcade, and the whole city block with its laneways, arcades and passages. I created a new walk through the block where the arcade the Walk is now. Not just making a new connection from Bourke st to little Collin st, but also up to the rooftop and across to the royal arcade and Union Ln. Creating an experiential detour in the city were the exhibition spaces are placed along the staircase up to the rooftop park. Where there are cafĂŠs and entrance to the auditorium and architectural research offices. It is about talking your time to explore the city and finding the way that appeals to you.
