University Library for Aalborg
2011
9th Semester MA / Main project (group)
Supervisor: Peter Mandal Hansen,
Teaching Associate Professor, Architect M.A.A
Censor: Karl Christiansen, Professor, Architect M.A.A
The project deals with the design of a new library for
the campus in Aalborg. This new proposal will stand as
a entrance-gate to the campus providing a reference
for navigating around the area.
The location is next to the canteen wich both ensures
a close connection to the campus and creates a link to
the future administrative buildings.
The library will hold more than 12 km of books and
other medias within its more than 10.000 m2 of floor
area.
Furthermore it will incorporate ten stories, accomodating both library functions and a range of teaching,
seminar, conference and recreational functions. The
library also holds the entire staff group, situated within
the top floors overlooking the campus area.
The basement holds a large compact storage for books
along with two large auditoriums, able to conduct both
educational and entertaining purposes. The main building consists of three main functions stacked above each
other.
An open ground floor, the ‘Book Room’ and an administrative wing. The ground floor provides access from
all sides taking visitors through the main stair sluice
and into the heart of the library. Here the ‘Book Room’
is held containg the entire library function. The large
‘Mountains’ of the room both carries and provides access to the above located administration.

Interior design, NORD A/S Office
2009
Internship at NORD A/S (9th Semester MA)
Project type: Individual
Supervisor: Kim Flensborg, Architect M.A.A
and Stine Andersson, Architect M.A.A
This interior design project was the first case I was given
when I arrived to the Nord A/S office.
For long time the direction have had a wish to renovate
and lighten up the lower level of the two-story office.
I was put in charge of the sketching phase and held weekly
meetings and critiques with owner and design director
Kim Flensborg about the project and my design proposals.
Initially, a concept was chosen from a conceptual sketch
introducing a circular counter in the back of the room. I
then conducted a 3D model of the proposal together with
sketches and suggestions for the counter design. This I
presented for the entire office, where it was approved and
the work drawing could be started.
At the same time, the work with designing the counter
began, and a building company and a carpentner were
brought in and introduced to the design.
The counter functions both as a casual meeting area for
the staff together with a resting area for clients.
The project included a new floor, painting, a large logo
on the back wall, new furniture and arrangment together
with a glazed meeting box and the circular counter furniture which also contains parts of the office library.
The total budget of the project was about 20.000 $ and
the project was realised during my time at the office, so
that I could attend the official initiation ceremony of the
renovation at the annual christmas party at the office
december 2009.

Competition for Mixed Use Block
2009
Internship at NORD A/S (9th Semester MA)
Project type: Co-work
Supervisor: Kim Flensborg, Architect M.A.A
and Thomas Solberg, Architect M.A.A
This competition was held after the termination of a
old educational building in the Aalborg suburbs.
The project included more than 100 appartments for
both students, families and elderly tenants.
I followed the project from the earli client meetings
and to the competition hand-in.
Within the process I was responsible for conducting a
draft build 3D contextual model along with the development of the 3D building model used for client meetings. When the design was approved I was responsible
for the layout of the competion proposal folder but was
later moved to the graphic presentation area due to a
major flu-epidemic hitting the office.
Here, I conducted an areal view for the presentation
poster and also produced elevated drawing for the
presentation.
From the 3D building and contextual model I provided
the design director Kim Flensborg a set of different
views for presentation sketches along with a poster.
Finally, I was responsible for the 3D model conducting the background picture of the major presentation
“shot” pictured on this page.
As this was my first “real” competition it was very
intresting to follow the entire process from talking with
the clients and engineers and following the development of a project from early idea to final presentation along with the planning and preparement for a
competition.

Fire/Ambulance Station, DK
2009
Internship at NORD A/S (9th Semester MA)
Project type: Co-work
Supervisor: Thomas Solberg, Architect M.A.A
This project was a fast produced project for a major
developer and contractor in Denmark, about to buy
and build an ambulance station for the private danish
rescue service Falck.
Here, I assisted the architect in doing a 3D model of the
draft Autocad line-work drawings in order to get spatial
insight within the building.
I further produced the draft pictures for the architect
for the presentation images pictured on this page.
Finally, I also assisted the architect in drawing the
elevations for the presentation catalogue.

Passport and Counter design
2009
Internship at NORD A/S (9th Semester MA)
Project type: Co-work
Supervisor: Søren Andersen, Architect M.A.A
In 2007, the NORD A/S designed an extention for the
Aalborg Airport and together with this the airport also
ordered a number of different counters for the airline
companies operating the new extention.
Together with the architect I joined the project conducting a 3D model to verify the components and assembly of the counters. I also did several presentation
pictures along with colour tests of the counters for the
airport representives.
After this, the airport - in order to fulfill the requirements of the new Schengen borders of Europe - ordered further two design-related passport counters.
Here, I again joined up with the architect to design
this passport cabinet, which should fit the work of two
police officers with a desk and a space for a PC.
I produced a 3D model that showed a rough way of
assembly and this was used for several colour scheme
tests.
Again, I produced presentation material for the airport
and after meetings involving the police the project was
approved and a carpenter was contacted.
I later found that the project had suffered a halt after I
left the office but when travelling from Aalborg Airport
last year the counters were in place and this photo was
taken.
Facade Renovation of high rise
2009
Internship at NORD A/S (9th Semester MA)
Project type: Individual
Supervisor: Kim Flensborg, Architect M.A.A
and Stine Andersson, Architect M.A.A
Along with the interior design task this project constituted the main two jobs at the Nord A/S office.
As with the interior task this project also lasted the
entire period of the internship.
The project took its starting point with client meetings
and meetings with a engineer. Here the requirements
were addressed and the design began.
During my time on the project I delivered design proposals for critiques weekly with the design director and
my archtect supervisor.
After several visits and meetings with a local engineer a
facade proposal along with a new proposal for a railing
concept were developed.
The final project included two projects that were presented on a large tenant critique.
The winning design featured a tilted glazed panelrailing, able to reflect the sky while letting the light
through prior to the old metal panellings.
Along with the design I also learned to seek prices and
together with an experienced building constructor
produced the draft budget for the entire renovation
summing up 560.000 $.
At the presentation the tenant counsil voted and the
project was approved and is in a development phase at
the moment.

Mixed use zero-energy Housing
2011
8th Semester MA / Main project (group)
Supervisor: Lars Brorson Fich,
Associate Professor, Architect M.A.A
This housing proposal features a large scale zeroenergy mixed use residential block located down-town
city of Aalborg. The program tasked the project to
design interesting housing possibilities that were able
to compete with traditional villas.
The complex contains a large number of student flats
along with senior apartments and large sized family
flats with large open terrasses.
Underneath the complex a large multi-hall is located
along with common facilities and parking.
The zero-energy concept used related to the german
PHPP standard.
Windows are designed to face south in order to gain
energy in winter time and to be shaded during summer
time. Also the compactness of the block and the
insulation used for the project reached 450 mm along
with the use of good U- and G-valued windows.

Hobro Viking Museum, DK
2010
7th Semester MA / Main project (group)
Supervisor: Adrian Carter,
Teaching Associate Professor, Architect M.A.A
This project concerns the design of a new museum
building at the old Viking fortress Fyrkat by Hobro.
The museum has to exhibit artefacts from the Viking
age, and will be the only one in Denmark to provide
information about the circular forts, their creation
and function.
It focuses on telling a story through the exhibitions,
where the visitor is taken on a journey through different parts of the Viking life, while the architecture
creates an evocative backdrop for the artefacts to
emphasize their story.
The architecture of the museum shows a clear point
of view regarding the role of the architecture in
exhibiting the art.
The things that are exhibited in the Fyrkat Viking
Museum are historic artefacts that are shown to the
visitor with the purpose of providing him with an
insight into the Viking life and history.
Thus, the architecture creates a strong atmosphere
that underlines the messages of the artefacts.
The art and the architecture flows together to create
an unified whole, which is the setting of the journey
through the Viking life at Fyrkat.

Office Domecile for Dreamhouse
2009
6th Semester BA / Main project (group)
Supervisor: Lars Brorson Fich
Associate Professor, Architect M.A.A
The Dreamhouse Inc. is an umbrella organisation and
company renting out numerous small office spaces
within larger office buildings.
Located on the very edge of the Aalborg harbour scape
this project proposal covering more than four thousand
m2. of office space, provides a bright and interconnected work space with common reception, foyer, canteen
and utility rooms.
The design attemts to break with the range of modernistic developer residentials located along the harbour
front with the distinctive facetted dark appearence. At
the same time its public cafe is thought to re-vitalize
the harbour front, in order to draw in life around the
day and evening time.
The construction is made up through four large
concrete cylinders which hold two 2 meter high steel
beams which initially carry the entire building creating
a completely open and light structured ground floor.
The skin is comprised by a double glazed facade with
additional tiles applied providing shade during the day
time hours.

Museum Expansion for “Kunsten”
2008
5th Semester BA / Main project (group)
Supervisor: Claus Kristensen,
Associate Professor, Architect M.A.A
This project takes its start at the Alvar Alto Art Museum
located in the hills of western Aalborg.
Here, the director of the museum proposed a task to
design an expansion for the museum as the museum
after many years of growing numbers of visitors are
experiencing a lack of exhibition space.
The demands were not to build within the museum
court yard and on top of the very museum which is a
national heritage site of Denmark.
This project proposal was therefore located on the hill
side behind the museum, half escavated into the hill
side.
To link the new wing with the existing Alto building a
large corridor was drawn towards the present museum,
taking visitors dried shoed over external exhibition
spaces.
The first boxed building houses a large theater able
to hold more than 100 spectators while the main and
most open box holds a research/art library and a pleasant cafe area overlooking the court yard.
The final volume holds the new exhibition space and
incorporates the possibility for video performance and
other art forms demanding a total closure of light.
At the end of the corridor, the staircase takes the visitor down inside the court yard allowing them to take
a closer look at the large size sculptures within the
museum garden.
High rise Dormitory for Aalborg
20108
4th Semester BA / Main project (group)
Supervisor: Lasse Andersson,
Associate Professor, Architect M.A.A
The project takes its inspiration in the future plans of
the old hospital area located in the western part of Aalborg. When a new University Hospital is build in 2020,
the site will have to be re-integrated within the city and
a large number of housing, residential and shops will
occupy the area.
The vision is that the area is going to be re-vitalized as
a young neighbourhood with a large Dormitory area
located within the very center of the area.
The Dormitory proposal is comprimised by three buildings facing each other rising up to 12 stories at the
highest. The distinctive pattern created on the outer
facades is conducted by a incorporation of a small terrasse to every appartment.
The size of the flats are 45 m2 and each appartment is
provided by a small kitchen, entre, bathroom/toilet and
a living room which can be translated into bedroom at
night time.
In the opposite side of the appartment the blocks join
together 12 appartments with a common room for stay
and social interaction.
Underneath the complex is a large community area
linked in with direct connection to the adjacent railroad. In the middle of the buildings lay a large green
recreational area which also reaches out of the site
incorporating a large covered bridge passage on top of
the railroad.

Chair design
2007
3rd Semester BA / Main project (group)
Supervisor: Marianne Stockholm,
Professor, ID, M.D.D.
This lounge chair was designed as part of the main
project which circled around industrial design and the
term “Nordic/Scandinavian design”.
As part of the semester a study of Architect Jørn Utzon
was conducted, investigating his younger years in Aalborg and his relation to the ship building industry and
maritime world of his father.
The chair is inspired by the traditional danish wooden
build Viking ships and later sail boats of Aalborg with a
direct relation to the frame of the chair.
The frame is created in an aluminium cast mold, and
coated with a resistant coating in order to prevent tear.
The seat is made of tough sail-cloth which is both light
and very strong in tension.
The chair can be completely disassembled in order of
compactness when shipped.
The chair was, together with the other furniture
produced on the semester, exhibited on a virtual 3D
furniture exhibition within the Utzon Center, located at
the harbour front of Aalborg.
Miniprojekt 2008
A minor project concerning the aspects of ergonomics
was the starting point for this door handle design.
This course was followed by a course which featured a
range of industrial fabrication methods.
As a result the door handle was drawn in 3D in rhino
and then converted into a data file where a CNC mill
produced a foam model of the handle.
Later in the course I also tried to use a rapid-prototyping device known as a “sugar printer” - which produced
a well-crafted model in a material alike porcelain.
At the end of the course the handle was produced in
another type of foam and we visited an iron foundry
where the model was used as a positive mold for an
aluminium cast mold.
The model was produced at a 10 % larger scale due to
the shrinkage of aluminium.
After half an hour the door handle had cooled and the
mold could be removed and an aluminium copy of the
handle had been produced.

Allotment Hut, Aalborg Area, DK
2006
1st Semester BA / Main project (group)
Supervisor: Claus Bonderup,
Professor, Architect M.A.A
The dwelling is designed to house persons for intermediate stays as a development of the danish tradition of
allotment huts.
Its design features the inspiration of a leave hovering in
the air.
The construction uses a wooden structure underneath
the roof and inside the walls.
The roof is made with copper both because of its
smooth cover and because of its patina over time.
The house is thought to slowly merge with its sourroundings as the roof line changes colour towards a
greenish look.
Wooden Pedestrian Bridge, DK
2010
7th Semester MA / Minor project (individual)
Supervisor: Alberto Pugnale, Assistant Professor
and Isak Worre Foged, Research Assistant
The aim was to evoke a poetic feeling of movement
and transformation across the bridge. With a narrow
designated entrance, the bridge creates a motion of
direction towards the middle, where it opens up and
gives rise to a hub for view and rest. This is done by use
of a fan-shape and by a change in angle within the single element, which changes both the width of the path
and the angle of the railing. In terms of construction
the aim was to construct a bridge using a very small
amount of material in order to appear slender and
elegant while keeping the overall weight down.
The bridge pathway is comprised by a continuous
straight line across the bridge, incorporating access,
safety, and functionality.
The bridge itself is designed to take forces of compression within the railing in the upper part above the
pathway and tension forces in the lower part using thin
wire. It incorporates the use of triangles everywhere it
is possible, achieving a very strong and rigid bulk while
still maintaining a tight and elegant repetitive appearance.

ICE-AID
2007
2nd Semester BA / Minor project (individual + group project)
Supervisor: Anna Marie Fisker
Associate Professor, Architect M.A.A
ICE-AID takes its origin within an internal-held design competition between
more than 100 architect students at Architecture & Design.
Here, the students were to create a proposal combining the act of charity
together with a danish quality-producing food company.
Signed project was selected as the winning proposal for a commercial produced ice cream which through its appearence and surplus would tell the story
of an act of charity when bought.
The proposal combined an ice cream produced by the danish ice cream manufacturer Ryå-IS and the danish wing of International Red Cross to be linked and
this concept was found to be the winner together with seven other projects.
Within a full-three-week Summer School at the University the concepts were to
be worked through, with a range of staff brougth in with a donation of 40.000 $
from the European Union Health Food Programme.
Here the concept of ICE AID and one other project were chosen to be the
strongest and thus selected to further work development alone.
At this time Denmark was hosting the International Climate Conference known
as COP15, thus the concept of the charity aspect was found to better suit
the problematics of the melting artic poles due to the strong link with the ice
cream. To emphasize the concept, an ice cream concept was developed presenting and serving the ice cream in a bowl of pure ice.
This gave the buyer a dramatic experience when holding the cold ice in his/her
hand demostrating the seriousness of the artic melting.
Together with the RYÅ-IS a mold was produced in China, and the ICE AID ice
cream had its public presentation to the Aalborg By Night where it was served
at the central square of Aalborg - all 200 test produced ice creams were sold
within the first hour. Later, the ice cream has been used at the celebration of
danish artist Ingvar Cronhammar’s 60th birthday along with other events.
Shelter for an Ornithologist, DK
2010
8th Semester MA / Minor project (individual)
Supervisor: Lars Brorson Fich
Assistant Professor, Architect M.A.A
This project is about the design of a 60 m2 dwelling for
an Ornithologist at the northern danish fishing town
Hanstholm.
The project included at full day of exploration around
the old WWII bunkers in order to locate a building site
and gather inspiration from the rough flora and fauna
in the area.
The idea of designing the dwelling as a “highrise” building comes from the old WWII German artillery observation bunkers at the Hanstholm site (part of the Atlantic
Wall), where constant surveillance is combined with
staying/living for a shorter or longer period of time.
To stand the harsh weather conditions of the danish
west coast of Jutland, the core of the building
is constructed with thick walls of concrete which draws
a parallel back to the heavy fortified bunkers. As with
the bunkers, the ability to enclose themselves from the
surrounding under an attack, is incorporated into the
dwelling in form of shutters.
Long wooden boards – with the inspiration from the
chaotic grasses growing around the site – gives the
house its distinctive wild appearance, growing up near
the next-by hill top.
As the shutters provide a certain cover from the
wind and weather, they also tell when the tower is
inhabited or closed-down within rough winter time.
The dwelling includes a small kitchen, toilet, storage,
working and sleeping facilities as well as a high
situated partly hidden terrace for observation of birds.
