The Sea that shapes Us
I’m an urbanist and architect, educated with a focus on the changing landscapes we inhabit. I’m deeply interested in how landscapes shape us and, how we in turn, shape them. For me, understanding the nuances of a place is essential to creating resilient, meaningful environments that respond to both ecological and social dynamics.
My work is rooted in research and storytelling. I use spatial analysis and engagement methods to translate complex environmental and cultural narratives into actionable design strategies. While studying, I worked part-time at Gehl Architects, which have shaped some of my approaches. Today I’ve now joined the same office as a full-time architect, where I bring an analytical and design-driven approach that spans across scales, aiming to connect people, place, and process.
This project is an architectural exploration of Landscapes. It explores the dynamic coast of the island Langeland, which is a part of the South Funen Archipelago, in Denmark. Through the lens of landscape narratives, I uncover how landscapes transform not only in space but in meaning.
The project is a story in 3 chapters.
1. Reading Landscape:
A chapter that aims to represent data of past and projected future landscapes to create an environmental, historical, and societal understanding of the context.
2. Telling Landscape:
A multi-media exploration of layered narratives from the three local contexts: Henninge Cove, Ristinge Cliff, and Magleby Cove - examining their temporalities, entanglements and stories.
3. Imagining Landscape (New Normals):
The reimagining of Magleby Cove as a dynamic landscape. Gradually transitioning from conventional agriculture to a fully rewetted area, introducing paludiculture as a tool. The strategy for Magleby Cove is an example of new approach to the complexity of rewetting projects to ensure that we won’t just be restoring nature (in a new state) but also foster a culture of care and landscape literacy.
