Selected prizes and distinction of student projects that I have tutored 

Thesis project; “Neste stasjon”, New train Station for Hamar by Jon Grasdal og Anton Boman. 

Vola Grant 2018. Link

"Neste stasjon" undersøker hvordan stasjonen kan bidra til å utviske jernbanens barrierevirkning og skape gode lokale forbindelser mellom transport, urbanitet og natur.(Grasdal & Boman)

Thesis project; “Vestlandet - A framework for circular economy” by Gustav Jerlvall Jeppsson og Fredrik Walentin Sandbu. Kadk UN price 2017. Link 

“Prosjektet er et bud på hvordan man kan bidra til å omstille et samfunn fra en lineær til en mer sirkulær økonomi. Det skaper arkitektoniske og strategiske rammer for en fremtidig sirkulær industri, og gjennom dette viser en mulig retning for et Norge i en tid etter olje-alderen” (Jeppsson & Sandbu)

Thesis project; “A study in dencification of Oslo” by Sebastian Fjellingsdal Berg & Magnus Hellum. Link

“At politikere med press på seg for å møte en økende boligmangel og kommersielle utbyggere som vil bygge mest mulig, har gitt Oslo mange arealeffektive, identitetsløse anlegg som ikke gir noe til omgivelsene. Det sosiale liv er nedprioritert. Gode planløsninger og lysforhold er blitt mindre viktig”. (Arkitekter: Slik kan Oslo fortettes uten å viske ut byens historie. Omtale i Aftenposten 28 juni 2016)

Thesis project; "The Body Architectonic: A Health Cluster in Hackney” by Lea Olson. Wallpaper Graduate Directory 2015 and International Velux Award 2014.

 “A project, which sets out proposals for various lighting constellations in treatment and therapy environments for health care in the future. Her focus was on the relationship between light, the human body and architecture” (kadk.dk) 

Thesis project; “Det tabte land” by Anders Liisberg-Larsen. Vinder of The Icopal prize 2013 and  The Vola Grant 2013. Link

”På forbilledlig vis anviser projektet , hvordan et arkitektonisk, landskabeligt og klimatilpasset helhedsbegreb kan transformere eksisterende forhold i det danske landskab og øge dets rekreative værdi” (arkitektforeningen.dk)
