In my most recent projects I have discussed design for disassembly as a strategy for timber architecture. In my thesis project this topic was explored through the design of a school. I wanted to learn how I can initiate a discussion on the use of materials with several different actors in an early stage of the process. One aspect of this was to discuss if a collaborative process could contribute to a greater effect of the strategy, and if so, what collaboration partners would be interesting and in what part of the project?

I have a master's degree in Architecture from the program Strategic Design & Entrepreneurship. My projects are based on theoretical research, often related to technological developments and strategic positioning. I like to make large-scale physical models, both for artistic experiments and for communicating ideas.
