Peopleside A sustainable space for gathering The project is called, Peopleside and is a cosy gathering space, created by volunteers with donations from the city council, garbage centre and gardening centre. The project is part of a sustainable plan, which meens, it will be reused in the coming years at the Northside Festival in Aarhus. We have been part of the sustainable circulation and the aim is to give the festival guests a pleasant experience of a different gathering space. The space is positioned just after the main entrance, which makes it the first impression of the festival. The two stories hight gives it a monumental touch. The structure occupies an area of 400 square meters and is built up of 900 used pallets, organized as a structure around three used shipping containers and leeding up to the second level on top. The transparent walls are built up of softwood mixed with old window frames, collected through a public campaign. They are hereby sponsored by private households and festival guests. The structure was built up during 10 days and used during the entire three days of the festivcal.

ElCasc, Agronautas International Young Planning Professionals Award 2014, YPPA Tours, France This project was part of the creative festival, ElCasc 2014. The festival aims to investigate and partially transform the social and urban circumstances of the historical centre of the village, Villena. The workshop, Agronautas, was run by the architecture firm, Pez Estudio from Madrid, and a part of a bigger sceam for development of Villena. Through a variation of multicultural and interdisciplinar interventions, the projects each add to a sustainable urban, social and architectual involvement in this near context. In collaboration with the SEAE (Sociadad Espanola de Agricultura Ecologico) and the locals of the village, we were asked to activate an abandoned space and transform this space into a public space for gatherings and outdoor learning fascilities for the planting workshops held by the agricultural centre of the village. The low-cost structure is built of natural and reused materials, while adding to a sustainable awareness and self-suffiiency. The structure was built up by a group of 17 people from different origins in a timeframe of 10 days, and will remain on site until the community decides to take it down. Apart from the participation in the different phases of the design, local involvement and the construction, I was documentating the process in collaboration with Milena Villalba and Laura Alzares.

Peaks Pavillion Challange Synopsis The project is part of an experiment of how to translate the possibilities and challanges in the digital process of parametric design into a 1:1 construction, built by ourselves. The structure was drawn entirely in Grasshopper for Rhino and afterwards built, using lasorcutting and waterjetting. Each collumn has a different angle to the other and is carrying the same load as every other. The construction therefore only stands by itself after the last peace is in place. This is a very efficient load carrying system and a big challange in the building process. The pavillion reaches a hight of almost 4 meters at the highest point and it is possible to stand in both spaces. The structure is built from OSB using a minimal amount of screws in the joining. The pavillion was exhibited at Arkitektskolen Aarhus from May 2013 until January 2014.

Waking the Dead Houses A closer look at the outskirt of Danish architecture The excursion to Thy in Northern Denmark introduced the scale 1:1 as a tool for investigation. In a team of 50 students, we cut a section into an abandoned house in the outskirts of Denmark. The section was used to discover the building techniques in the countryside of Denmark and a way of learning of the construction details and use of different materials. Not only did this add to the understanding of relations between different materials, it also showed a historical tradition of the buildup in Danish farm houses. Important structural elements from this exercise were brought to the School of Architecture Aarhus and exhibited in the library in March 2012.

House of Fragments The Dreamy Bedroom Ceiling A 1:1 experiment of a new translation of the written word into a spatial installation, questioning the perception of a ceiling. A study of optical illusions through light and shapes with a result of walking under a water filled basin over precicly positioned wooden sticks, leeding your gaze towards the ceiling above the frame. The water in the basin above your head created rainbow flashes from the light hitting the water. The movement of the water is creating an illusion of a slightly curving ceiling, while the awareness of standing under water without being wet refers to the feeling of being in a dream. The frame of the ceiling is constructed of a 1,5 m x 1,5 m wooden frame. Into the frame we added a dreamcatcher-like structure of string, inwhich the different sized wooden sticks were placed, to emphasize the three dimensional impression when standing underneath. The peace was exhibited at Arkitektskolen Aarhus in April 2012.
Projected Futures Capturing a Moment in Physical Form Using movies as a ground for a product design workshop, we observed how scale, light, materiality and sound were used to distort the perception of time. We experimented with the aim to replicate the plunge into modernism (Playtime) and the drop into the frozen world under the ice (Encounters At The End Of The World) by creating an interactive device og re-used elements. The device melts wax and lead whereafter the materials are dropped into a vessel of water, solidifying both wax and lead immediately. While the wax created a layer on top of the water, the lead shapes a landscape on the bottom. The shape of the landscape increases with every turn of the wheel; it developes over time. Each element in the room has its own perception of time that together creates a new dimension of space. An old bycicle wheel turns the middlepole anticlockwise. Onto the middlepole a pan is attached, into which the dispenser releases the wax and the lead. After half a turn on the wheel, the pan rests over the flame that melts the material. After one complete turn, the pan is flipped by a string-device on top of te middlepole and the material is dropped into the water tank. The peace was exhibited at Arkitektskolen Aarhus in December 2012.
