I am originally from Sweden and came to Edinburgh in 2003 to study architecture at Edinburgh College of Art where I graduated in 2009. My graduate work was awarded the RIAS Drawing Award and was also Highly Commended for the RIAS Silver Medal and nominated for the RIBA President’s Medal.
I have recently submitted an MPhil by Design in Architecture at Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture. My research project, “The Unconscious Life of Old Town”, focused on the ‘museumisation’ of Edinburgh’s historic city where I criticised the romanticism of history (historicism) within the city through theories relating to psychoanalysis and cultural and social theory on the production of space. The design work, focused around a suspended model of the Old Town hanging over a mirror, was exhibited in the Schop Gallery in the autumn of 2010.
I currently work at Richard Murphy Architects in Edinburgh and have previously worked for Oliver Chapman Architects and Matson Henderson Architects. I also teach at ESALA on a regular basis.
