5 PORTFOLIO SIMPLE Geothermal Sports Centre Academic Research Construction Prototyping Urban & Landscape Design China Happisburgh Sculpture Park The following portfolio includes selected projects from my academic and professional experience. With the first three projects, it focuses on my work created during the last year of my Master studies. The main theme of the three projects thermal zoning in architectural design, largely overlaps; they have mostly followed and informed each other throughout the year. Programme: Architecture and Extreme Environments, KADK Tutors: David Garcia, Jakob Knudsen, Marianne Hansen, Thomas Bøjstrup The last two projects are brief examples of my earlier work.

GEOTHERMAL SPORTS CENTRE Spring 2015 Master Degree Work: KADK, Copenhagen Architecture and Extreme Environments Project title: RESPONSIVE HABITAT Location: Reykjavik, Iceland Size: 3000 m 2 Training

6 GEOTHERMAL SPORTS CENTRE Spring 2015 Master Degree Work: KADK, Copenhagen Architecture and Extreme Environments Project title: RESPONSIVE HABITAT Location: Reykjavik, Iceland Size: 3000 m 2 Training & Exercises Yoga Dancing Climbing Sailing & Paddling Diving Swimming Aqua Yoga Aqua Rehabilitation & Performances Responsive Habitat is a proposal for Geothermal Sports, Bathing and Leisure Facilities in Reykjavik, Iceland. It is an investigation on the meaning of thermal diversity in spatial design. The project asks the questions: What are the potentials offered by thermal diversity in spatial design? How to challenge the understanding of thermal comfort as being equal to thermal neutrality in building design? The aim of the project is to challenge the generic and conservative approach towards thermal zones in contemporary building design, investigate the relationship between the human body and temperature, and use the invisible phenomenon of temperature as a visible spatial quality.

7 Reykjavik Municipal Plan expects large increase in the population of Reykjavik in the next 30 years; it emphasizes on DENSIFICATION of the current urban area, rather than building new residential areas in the outskirts of the city. The intent is to stress on the importance of places for sport, physical and social activities in a city with weather conditions making life outdoors difficult for a lot of the time around the year. Top: Thermal map of Reykjavik 1:15 000: existing sport facilities; green areas; use of geothermal energy Bottom: Site of proposal - Nautholsvik Geothermal Beach

The proposal is to be understood as separate architectural elements, which are intertwined and co-exist, rather than as a single building entity.

8 The proposal is to be understood as separate architectural elements, which are intertwined and co-exist, rather than as a single building entity. These elements, mostly inserted in the surrounding mount, investigate an interest in building within the landscape and create archipelagos of diverse thermal conditions. Programmatically, they add to and aim to enhance the existing site situation. Top Cut at +6.4m Cut at +3.4m Top: 1:200 Plan at +3.4m. Bottom: 1:200 Layered model revealing the proposal.

9 Light & Materiality Studies In daytime, light falls on the right long wall from skylights on one side of the ceiling. When you swim back and forward the sense of orientation and number counting is easily lost; the light qualities in the space help you to orientate yourself.

ACADEMIC RESEARCH Autumn 2014 - Spring 2015 Master Degree Work: KADK, Copenhagen Architecture and Extreme Environments Project title: THE ROLE OF THERMAL DIVERSITY IN SPATIAL DESIGN Research work

Themes: Thermal neutrality Bioclimatic comfort zone Thermodynamic boundary Homogeneous vs. Heterogeneous thermal environment The term thermal neutrality [ref.

10 ACADEMIC RESEARCH Autumn Spring 2015 Master Degree Work: KADK, Copenhagen Architecture and Extreme Environments Project title: THE ROLE OF THERMAL DIVERSITY IN SPATIAL DESIGN Research work carried out through the entire academic year in 2015, translated into two design projects: 1:1 Physical Prototype & Building Design proposal vs. Themes: Thermal neutrality Bioclimatic comfort zone Thermodynamic boundary Homogeneous vs. Heterogeneous thermal environment The term thermal neutrality [ref. Thermal Delight in Architecture 1979 by Lisa Heschong] in the project refers to the generic approach towards thermal zones in building design [ ]. This approach opposes the way the human body understands temperature. The way our bodies read thermal information is never neutral; it always reflects what is directly happening to and in the body; a constantly changing reality.

CONSTRUCTION PROTOTYPING Autumn 2015 Master Degree Work: KADK, Copenhagen Architecture and Extreme Environments Project title: WAX PISTONS: Thermally Dynamic Mechanical Elements Design, development

Wax pistons [normally used for auto-ventilation in greenhouses] are used as a way to transfer thermal energy into mechanical movement and spatial transformation.

12 CONSTRUCTION PROTOTYPING Autumn 2015 Master Degree Work: KADK, Copenhagen Architecture and Extreme Environments Project title: WAX PISTONS: Thermally Dynamic Mechanical Elements Design, development and construction process of 1:1 physical prototypes P1 P2 P3 The constructs are three mechanical elements which test and spatialise different thermal conditions. Wax pistons [normally used for auto-ventilation in greenhouses] are used as a way to transfer thermal energy into mechanical movement and spatial transformation. They put in motion expandable and collapsible structures, when change in temperature occurs. In December 2014, the three constructs were unfolded in three locations in Iceland landscapes with very different natural characteristics. The purpose of the fieldtrip and the work prior it was to initiate critical architectural approach and develop a way of investigation of challenging environmental conditions.

URBAN & LAND- SCAPE DESIGN CHINA 2013 Professional work: Vision Tianjin

REDEVELOPMENT Location: Ji Xian, Beihuan, China Type: Master plan &

I was involved in analyses of: the topography and natural characteristics

16 URBAN & LAND- SCAPE DESIGN CHINA 2013 Professional work: Vision Tianjin Urban Planning and Design Institute, China Project title: QUARRIES REDEVELOPMENT Location: Ji Xian, Beihuan, China Type: Master plan & Landscape design The quarries of Ji Xian are being regenerated into a holiday resort and residential area. The desire is the city to become a main tourist attraction. I was involved in analyses of: the topography and natural characteristics of the quarries; the existing to-be-reprogrammed factory buildings; the relationship between different areas of the quarries and the city.

17 The work included the development of a master plan for the area. Further in the project, my focus was the plan for one particular quarry and the design work on different landscape features.

Augmented Landscapes 2007 Smout Allen The Happisburgh s cliffs are eroding gradually by the power of the sea; fields and houses are falling into the water. This dramatic situation inspires strong feelings and inspiration for artists and people emotionally connected with the place. The project explores the influence of extreme natural conditions on human imagination, the relationship between depression and creativeness.

The proposal is for a few buildings forming

19 The proposal is for a few buildings forming an artists community at the edge of the cliff: private studios with small living spaces, a common building, and a public exhibition space. The restless landscape is shaped around the sculptural and building elements.
