| During my studies I participated in Evolution - New Industrial Architecture, where I worked at KHR Arkitekter as a student assistant. I primarily worked with fibre glass as the material and Church of the Holy Cross as the case. |
| The church is conceived and designed as an abstraction over the open horizontal landscape around Jyllinge. The building is built in glass fibre composites and appears translucent. The rooms in the building are designed with regard to the church’s functions and the changing character of the skylight. The idea was to let homogenous surfaces change in angles and planes and thereby create light, shadow, heaviness, lightness and transparency inside and outside. |
| The room narrows in towards the choir and has several different entry points to ensure intimacy and flexibility during different arrangements. The light flow into the church defines the room’s function; the arms of the cross are part of the movement into the church room. The procession aisle through the church is prolonged outside into a defined space with contact to the fjord and the sky above the church. |
| With lots of model studies I took part in the optimisation of the construction, and I made a better relationship between the primary steel structure and the fibre glass. The product was a model in 1:20, and today the church is fully realized. It was nominated for the Mies van der Rohe Award 2009, and furthermore, it has won the Danish Plast Price. |
