ARCHITECT/ GRAPHIC DESIGNER. Ph.d  Publications 

I work in a broad field from art, architecture, graphical design and landscape design

From 1999 – 2018. I had been employed at Aalborg University Institute 19. First as a research fellow, PhD. in architecture and design, with a focus on virtual architecture and digital worlds. Later as an associated Professor in Digital design and virtual architecture.

In 1997 I made a TV program for the Danish television DR1 on future bridges to Copenhagen discussing new possibilities in urban planning using bridges for traffic and pedestrian bridges.

In 1998 I wrote and draw a weekly series of articles to the newspaper Politiken on historic building in Copenhagen. Furthermore for the same paper I wrote articles on Japanese design and pop culture and made illustrations for novels and feature articles. I worked as a teacher in storyboarding design and comic book concepts at the Danish Design School in Copenhagen and Kolding.

In 1990 I started on the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture at Professor Henning Larsen’s department of Architecture, Space and Form, and graduated from the architectural master programme in 1997. I have worked as architect with building design and construction, urban plan and visualization.

For 10 years I worked as a professional graphic designer in my own studio “Mand over bord”, working with Magazine layouts and concepts cd covers, music videos, scenography and comic books. It was newspapers and magazines as Extrabladet, Politiken, BT, MIX, and Blitz and covers for EMI and
