Questionnaire Do you have a driverslicense? Yes, but I also like to walk and bike.
Which languages do you speak? I’m fluent in Danish, English and Bosnian.
What is the latest book you’ve read?
Educational Skills Through my education at the Architecture & Design faculty at Aalborg University I have developed my skills in various aspects of the field of architecture. Ranging from an extensive research, analysis, documentation and project planning knowledge to design matters such as sketching, modelling and concept development in an integrated design process, combining subjects such as indoor climate and structural design with a par ticular focus on tectonic detail. All these aspects have been in the core of my academic projects and have greatly sharpened my knowledge and intuition in the field of architecture. Fur thermore I have explored the use of computers being an integral par t of the design process, not merely as a tool but also as a par tner. That has given me an egde in the field of computational design where I have a lot of interest and knowledge.
‘Thinking Architecture’ by Peter Zumthor
How would you describe yourself in three words? Resourceful, Determined, Honest
What motivates you? Mainly my curiousity and willpower to achieve great things.
Personal Qualities Architecture is my passion and I feel very strongly about the act of building. I am very enthusiastic and comitted to the projects that I do. Being a student from a group learning environment, I am a teamplayer who loves to , not only, challenge myself but also my peers to always do better. With my extrover t nature I like to bring a positive attitude to every par t of my life, being it my study, work or personal life. One of my biggest personal qualities must be my curiousity - no matter what challenge I face, I always have a fresh approach and try to spark my creativity and inventiveness with the simple question ‘what if ...?’. I am a firm believer that imagination is the beginning of creation.
What song describes you best? ‘Come as you are’ by Nir vana The songtitle sums up how I am
Personal Interests
and how I like people to be - as they truely are.
Although architecture is a big par t of my life and I use a great deal of time exploring architecture and design, I also like computer technology, innovation and science. A par ticular interest that I practice on a freelance basis is graphic design and visualisation, which currently blends perfectly with my study. I like to be active, whether it be biking in great weather or playing football with friends. When alone, I like to practice thinking walks, to stay focused on my goals in life, while guitar play is a stress realease and meditation is my way of relaxing.

Project Description The project is based on a 2009 competition brief for a new church in Hatlehol near Ă…lesund, Norway. The semester theme dealing with tectonic design in a nordic context, implies that the project deals with technical as well as sensuous qualities in the design of a sacral building.
The signigicant typology of the site and the nearby context was taken into consideration in the design phase to heighten the experience of the surrounding landscape, providing a local landmark and place for coming together in times of sorrow, doubt and joy.
Appropriate to the context and contemporary reinterpretation of local building traditions, the primar y material for the church is wood with a focus on the tectonic potentials of timber construction.

Project Focus The programme demanded sacral as well as profane functions - the concept is derived from the evident wild typology where the buildings function would be divided in a lower and a higher par t . The concept of ‘Dissolving Material’ means that the buildings profane functions rise from the bottom up to the heavenly sacral following the typology.. Fur thermore dissolving material also relates to the progression from the profane to the sacral impacting the human on a metaphysical level. The churchroom demanded a large open space where the materiality of the room dissolves. The effect was achieved by creating a roof structure that lifts up as two wings almost hovering freely over

Personal Development This project allowed me to fur ther develop my skills with computer aided design and decision making. With the introduction to plugins for structural calculations in an application that I already know well, this project allowed for daring concepts that could be backed up with the engineering documentation. Fur thermore one of the goals for the project was to contemplate over tectonic quality, where I found great inspiration in Peter Zumthors writings about architecture. Usually the academic projects suffer from a constant urge to develop clear and clean concepts that then have to be executed in built form, whereas this project was developed from one initial idea of a structural principle and from that more and more layers were added until a concept appeared by itself.

Project Description Aalborg city is undergoing a large development, not only on the culture and education front, but also in relation to population growth. If this trend continures the central Hospital area will be moved to a new eastern par t of the city, and the existing identity of the area is lost. This project aims to create a new identity for the site, which is centered between three areas of Aalborg, almost as a hinge connecting these. As a par t of the strategy, the new site
must contain a number of functions, including a college dormitor y that needs to interact with the area in a symbiosis to create life and activity and thereby the development of an attractive new area in central Aalborg. The new district in the hear t of Aalborg aims to create experimental, programmatic, spatial relations and exchanges connecting three districts.

Urban Concept
The Medina in a Danish Context The Medina in Fes, Morocco is the largest car-free developement. It is historically distinctive with the high density, narrow streets, and the self-grown structure. self-growth has lead to non-uniform labyrinthic street grids, where all buildings are displaced.
16
width of the streets vary from 60 cm to 5 meters, which creates natural breathing spaces where social interaction arises. The project focus has been to study these interesting self-grown developments and in a pragmmatic process transfer the principles that have created such a diversified
city to the new site of central Aalborg. Using a typical danish urban typology, the project transforms this into a hybrid typology, exploiting the danish grid system to create order, while exploiting the medinas design principle to enhance spatial quality.

Extending the urban concept to the college dormitory, two plots on the square grid were reserved for the architectural par t of the project. The idea behind this building is basically the same as for the urban development. Here a larger focus was on the private vs. common areas, where a displacement of housing units allowed for an everchanging dorm hall with small niches. Layout-wise the hall acts as a buffer between the private housing unit and the common functions such as kitchen, playroom, studyrooms etc. while the common rooms in extension all are visually connected to the outdoor areas of the dormitory and thus the public park also.

Personal Development At the stage of my education, when this project was done, I was still new to concept development. During lectures and workshops, mainly in the urban scale, I was introduced to different ways of ideation and learned how much a simple concept can empower an urban as well as an architectural development. The product of this learning was ofcourse this project, where we managed to implement design principles from a historic Medina in the middle of Aalborg, and doing so without overly distancing the neighborhood from the surrounding context. It has also teached me that concepts can be vital to the success of a project, and beyond that, how concepts can be applied to different scales - A strong point of this project was that the architectural par t of the project was an integral pieces in the complete urban development, and from a masterplan it blends in gracefully.

Project Description With a vision of developing a sustainable urban development by presenting an alternative to the detached house for a usergroup that has the needs of private outdoor spaces, safe community and a childfriendly neighbourhood, this projects focus was on densifying the built area while
maintaining the essential qualities of the detached house. Careful attention was applied to the sun exposure for the terraces, so everyone would get the evening sun during the summer, while the interiors were designed with a clear division of private and open
zones where subtle elements enhanced this idea. The development reached the goal of set by the 2020 Building Regulation by passive means, while active strategies such as solar cells were applied to reach the Zero Energy level. 25

The tall commercial area gets great views along the river.
A Rational Building Block The solution for this project was to try and form a simple, yet flexible building unit which could function singlehandedly but also could be used as an additive element to create the larger community. From this rational approach a architectural par ti was formed, where the iconic shape of a house was used as a frame with great passive potentials in terms of environmental sustainability, enclosed the apar tments. This frame was developed so that the height could vary depending on the need while only working with three specific apar tment units. By shifting the frames the continuity was broken down and the building blocks could shape the exterior space with simple

means of displacement as this was nessescary to provide wind still cour tyards with great sun exposure during the daytime. The need for parking was solved using a foundation to raise the frame above earth both creating storage, parking and technical room facilities but also emphasizing the simple iconic shape of the frame. During the integrated design process, all the three predefined aspects of sustaina-
bility were included; environmental, social and economic. Environmental in terms of the passive and active strategies. Social in terms of visual and physical relations from unit to outdoor. Economic in terms of building rationally and using as few unique elements as possible, almost as a prefab.

The raingarden appeals to the selfgrowing people, where greeneries are supplied with water from rainresivours.
Themed Courtyards To obtain a variety in the four communities which would appeal to different usergroups the cour tyards were designed with four different themes, that all have some relation to the suburban housing.
The Raingarden; a place to grow your own vegetables. The Commercial; a place with an urban feel. The Stonegarden; a place for relaxation.
The Hillgarden; the childfriendly playspace. The Building Blocks var y in height according the scale of the outdoor space, where the commercial ‘urban’ area have the heighest buildings.

The Apartments provide a lot of variation in interior design while the stairdesign exploits the unused space for storage.
The Apartment The interior spaces differ by size, but are very similar in terms of layout. The design of the apartment units were mostly based on providing daylight to the most common areas, while a seperation of quite and active zones were defined by either skewing
the wall as seen above, or by applying a buffer zone as seen on the picture below. In the two level apar tment, for families the window sill design was investigated to provide better daylight, while the terraces which are the private outdoor space
are designed to be an extension of the interior space. As a strict rule the apar tments could only be 115 m2 which required a lot of optimising of the plan to provide the nessescary storage room while still maintaining enough space for a family of four people to live comfor tably. Fur thermore the apar tments share technical shafts both in the ver tical and horisontal in order to minimize space wasted for piping and techincal installations.

User interaction & Sustainability Architects can do much in terms of designing for a sustainable future, but users also need to be engaged in the goals, which is why this project suggests an educational approach to the subject. Besides using the roof for solar panels, a solar shading device was designed on every terrace which is manually controlled by the
user. It is possible to move the device and change the angel of the panels, not only for shading and ventilation purposes, but also as a driver for engaging the user to help the community maintain zero energy status. By presenting the results of the energy production, they are encouraged to improve the result by moving the panels.

Since this project had the theme ‘Sustainability’ it was nessescary to define my own understanding of this subject, and form a manifest that could help through the design process. An impor tant par t of this project for me was learning how architecture can change a users view on sustainability and clean energy. The result is a very regular urban development, where the user has some qualities of the detached housing in an apartment, but most of all, the user is made aware of how they can improve the building complex. A piece of architecture that is in touch with basic human behaviour, exploiting curiosity and the competitiveness of people to improve both user knowledge and energy production.

The building stands out beside the white housing complexes, showing a clear distinction.
New Office Space Trends The office as we know it today is changing. people don’t have the same requirements as before. Now, work can be done from practically everywhere - office space where every employee has a desk a computer and a phone are becoming more and more
unnessescary. This is why the project only proposes a simple interior for the office spaces, while the meeting rooms are developed as seen on illustrations above. Instead of the enclosed space its is opened for views and light while still maintaining a audio buffer.
Enclosed Workhubs A new approach to office space has been explored with workhubs that are small spaces where employees can seek shelter from the noise of larger spaces if full concentration is nessescary for a specific task. These hubs are located around the building in secluded par ts.

Structural System As par t of the integrated design process, the structural system had to be taken into account early, and different systems were assesed on their qualities for such a project. Since the outer walls curve slightly, it was difficult to make them bearing, which is why a solution of grid systems with columns and slabs was chosen. The buildiing also consists of five cores that provide extra suppor t for the structural system.
Mechanical Ventilation According to the Building Regulation, it was nessescary to have a satisfying indoor climate for the office spaces, which is why calculation had to be performed both for the need of air supply and dimensioning of the piping system through the building. Optimisation of the piping layout had to be considered in terms of intake and outtake direction to account for natural ventilation possibilities.
Fire Regulations The Building Layout, divided in two sections had to comply with Danish Building Regulations in terms of fire, which was studied carefully, and was used as a design informant, to ensure that all escape routes were reachable in a safe and controlled manner. The balconies on the nor th and south facades of the building were designed to ensure that firefigthers could both access and save people from the building. 35

Personal Development Being an individual assignment, this project challenged me on all aspects of architectural design. The many restrictions and regulations had to reach a synergy in the building and this is where my thoughts during the design phase was greatly improved due to the integrated design process. It was nessescary to account for everything and document that regulations were followed before the design could evolve. In this project I also challenged myself in thinking outside the box in terms of a viable concept, where analysis of the surrounding area showed that an iconic building for one company’s headquar ter was not the most suitable for the area.

Other Work Here’s a collection of some other interesting projects that I have done, both educational and private works. Artville: The Cube The first project done during my education at Aalborg University, Architecture & Design. The aim was to develop a minimal housing unit for an ar tist with enough room for both living, working and exhibitions.
Projecting: Villa Jørgensen The aim of this project was to do proper drawings with details, energy calculations, structural calculations and

application for a building permit at the local municipality. The house was originally designed in the 90’s but never built - it was nessescary to update the design for the new Building Regulations. A04.1
Digital Fabrication: Honeycomb Wall Exploring the potentials of digital fabrication and visual effects, this project aimed to create a new wall for an underground walking tunnel in Aalborg, where sensors worked with LED’s in Myndighedstegning Projekt

Teaching: Utzon Espansiva in Revit The Revit teaching was based on Jørn Utzons Espansiva system, where three basic modules could be put together to form different housing units. The project not only focused on Revit modelling, but also on creating custom families, such as the significant structural system both on the inside and outside.
EAT: Shanghai Int. Airpor t Case Study Using the Shanghai International Airpor t as case study, this assignment was focused on investigating a structural element, and then modifying to alter the structural system. This assignment presented the possibilities for parametric modelling combined with FEM, a workflow that later was evolved to be an integral par t of the Hatlehol Church design, seen on page 6.
Reciprocity: The Wave Workshop where a 1:1 scale model had to be done, exploring the potentials of reciprocal frames in form and space creation. ‘The Wave’ is a Pavilion based on two reciprocal systems combined to form an enclosing space mimicking a wave. The project also presented issues in terms of joints, that had to be solved on-the-go during building.
