About.

One of my biggest strengths is my drive. When I start a project I never give up before the project is completely done. I reflect a lot about the projects after they are finished and I often realize that those are the times where I learn the most. It helps me to reflect and look at things in a different perspective. Im a person who has a lot of energy and Im not afraid to put that energy into my work. I work hard to take it to a high performance level. I have never been a person that chooses the easy option, which shows in my projects; actually I often choose the difficult ones because its difficult. I like a good challenge. The harder it is, the harder I work. Im often focused on the process and the philosophy behind a project because this is where I find my inspiration. Im a cheerful and outgoing person in general, and take part and work well in teams with others.

_6th semester _ Bachelor_This project was an art project, and had three very important focus points:

_ The hadmade drawing was used as the plan

1: The 1748 Nolli map._ The process began here. A section from the Nolli map was selected and processed in drawing analogies and digitals.

2: The Tiber River located the site._ Because the site was located at the water, and away from the city life, it was very deserted and had its own mysterious atmosphere. The drawings and the atmosphere are all perfectly captured in the quote from Trading

Cities by Calvino.

3: Calvino._ The quote from Trading Cities by Calvino was a great inspiration to my project.

_ The model of the process together with the timeline diagram and picture of the screenshots from the movie Le

Memphis.

_ Location: Achrafieh_Beirut_Libanon Achrafieh is one of Beiruts oldest quarters. It is located on a hill in the eastern part of Beirut. There are a lot of schools in Achrafieh, so the intention was to make a place where the community children could hang out and play after school. Inspired by Bernard Tschumi, the slices are a representation of each screenshot from the movie Le Memphis. Between the slices you have different rooms, like in a movie where you have different scenes between shots. Between the slices new action will take place in the different rooms. The rooms have therefore different functions.

_ This project was a simple family house in Rnde, Denmark. Here the intention was to keep it simple through a strong concept. The idea was to create three different physical spaces, which through their function should dominate the form. Form follows function _ The idea was to provide the house with three spaces: 1) 2) 3) The public area, which is the living room. The private area, which is toilet, bathroom and sleeping areas. The entrance, contribute to the first meeting with the house, where a big hall room give a overview of the ground.

_3th_semester

_ This project was a landscape and urbanism project, where the process was expressed through experiments. _ The project was inspired by Paul viewed, as how you look at a leaf.

Klees leaf photo, and the idea expressed that a public space could be

_ The veins are the imprints (directions) where the public spaces ought to be, and the leaf itself is the actual place that over time can spread and grow to bigger places.

_ The plan view over the three public places where the imprints are taking place.

_ This project was about building a home for one person. _ For the project we had to use the registration, the drawings, photos and movies that were made in Mexico, a student trip we were on for a month. _ I was very inspired by the way Luis

Barragn used colors together with light in his work.

_Workshop _Mexico

_ The workshop in Mexico was about making a model only by folding cardboard. _ The red color cheats the mind to believe that the object is made of a different material than it really is.
