City Intercom
Citizens have adapted steps around town as an informal piece of furniture for conversation and gathering. The project takes this change from pragmatic function to a means of social interaction further by introduce two new staircases at locations that currently do not offer a place to rest and socialise.

The Parallel City
Inviting you on voluntary detour of central Copenhagen. Get lost in the hidden courtyards of Copenhagen and get a peek into a parallel universe of the city, exploring the history and potential of a often unknown side of Copenhagen.

Green Space
– a pocket park for your neighborhood

Green Space is a pocket park for your neighborhood. Green Space is a patch of grass, shade and quality of life in the midst of the city. Green Space is sustainable, reusable and mobile. Green Space is such a good idea that you wonder why it hasn’t been done yet…

Copenhagen Harbour Bikes
Copenhagen is both harbor city and bike city but it has yet to see a real merge between the two. The project Copenhagen Harbor Bikes aims to change that through a network of water bikes and docking stations creating a greener, faster and better way to travel the city.

Mekano City
Mekano City emphasizes experiences and qualities that go unseen and questions the idea of the city as a static structure. Through three interventions on the itinerary the project encourages playful thoughts on city spaces and their transformation.
