2 Fibre installation: (MEDIUM)

The PhD thesis entitled 'RUM - The fibre-reinforced polymer composites in architectural context' introduces the building art form-led by an advanced composite with a focus on the relationship between space, material and light. Through an experimental study in different scale levels, the thesis investigates the integration of FRP (Fibre Reinforced Polymers) in the art of building as a particular material geometry, focusing on the internal composition between the two material components of the composite: fibre (reinforcement) and matrix (mass). 

The aim is to seek new ways of composing the tectonic principles of fibre geometry with textile, fluid and form-directed properties in the production of a translucent material logic for the architectural space, element and assembly. The thesis is carried out as an artistic development between three partners - 'KHR Architecture' (practice), 'Fiberline' (industry) and 'The Royal Academy - IBT - Institute of Building Art and Technology' (research). Finally, the thesis has been produced with the support of Innovation Fund, Realdania and Frits Schlegel scholarship.

Trestensvej - social and private housing

On Trestensvej in Skælskør, a mixed residential area is being created with 34 apartments in circular houses and 24 homes in terraced houses. KHR Architecture is the architectural consultant for the social housing company Bo-Vita and the property company Trestensvej ApS, who have joined forces on the social part of the project in a delegated client model. The project is being developed in collaboration with Sandkjær and Svanen Development. In addition to the 58 homes, green common areas and a community centre will be created to create a good community on Trestensvej.

Auditorium transformation

The auditorium at Carlsberg Campus has been redesigned to better match the actual needs and thus achieve a higher utilisation of the room. Carlsberg Campus educates teachers, pedagogues, sign language interpreters and textile mediators, and teaching here is centred around dialogue and group work rather than one-way communication to large groups, as the original layout suggested. Kathrine Wang Esbjørn has been responsible for the entire process, from workshops and analyses to defining needs and obtaining quotes. The project is ready for DGNB space certification if the client wishes.
