About

I hold a Master's in Computation in Architecture from the Royal Danish Academy, building on a background in architecture and interior design. I am interested in how computational thinking can be applied to architectural design to create more efficient, adaptable, and sustainable ways of designing and building.My work explores the relationship between digital workflows, material systems, and fabrication, with a particular interest in circular construction and resource-conscious design. Through computational methods, digital fabrication, and interdisciplinary collaboration, I aim to develop architectural solutions that connect research with practical application.

Reform : Stitching reclaimed formwork timber

**ReForm** explores how discarded formwork timber can be transformed into a valuable architectural resource through computational design and localized material reuse. Responding to the environmental challenges of construction waste and timber scarcity, the project proposes a decentralized workflow that assesses, grades, and repurposes reclaimed timber using accessible digital tools. Material variability becomes a design opportunity, informing assembly strategies and architectural systems rather than limiting them. Demonstrated through interventions for Copenhagen's evolving urban landscape, the project presents a scalable approach to circular construction that extends the lifecycle of timber while reducing waste, transportation, and carbon emissions within the built environment.
