Manifest. I am Martin, a creator from Copenhagen. My approach to architecture comes from my appreciation for classical and modernist architecture and the world of art. I strive to work in the cross field between architecture and art. Seeing buildings and spaces as sculptures. A lot of my work starts with a shape, form or material and comes to life through models with or without scale. For me, the modification or transformation of material is what drives my passion for architecture. At my time at the academy I have learned that aesthetics does not necessarily comply with beauty and that to expand our perception of beauty we must blur the lines. I hope to do so in my future work in the field of architecture. This portfolio consists of selected works produced between 2018-2020. Looking back at my work to create this portfolio I start to se my work as individual entities that can be looked at individually or collectively, and therefore I have chosen to create this portfolio as a picture book.

By using water there is potentially an opportunity to increase the collective awareness that we are part of a larger network that at this time undergoes colossal changes and therefore more than ever there is a need for us to recognize our internal connection with each other and nature.

I n s t it ut e of A rc h it e c t u re a nd Cu lt u re
In the process of creating landscape for a flat surface I wanted to let the material give me the answer. Using knives, spoons and sandpaper the material started to come to life, giving form to what is to come further on in the project.
