Dr Chau Chak Wing Building
As of late last year, I’ve taken up a new position as a South-East Asian correspondent for the Danish Architecture Centre’s blog, arcspace. My first article is on Frank Gehry’s Dr Chau Chak Wing, which is located in Sydney, Australia.  Â

At the beginning of this year I was fortunate enough to stay at Jørn Utzon's Can Lis in Mallorca, Spain. It was a beautiful and humbling experience, which I have documented in a recent article published on Australian website ArchitectureAU.Â

Today we showcased our intial Catalogue of Potentials, providing five visions for the future development of Refshaleoen. We presented our work to a panel of critics from Henning Larsen Architects, The Danish Royal Academy of Fine Arts and Steensen Varming. Following thier feedback, we will now integrate ideas from each of the schemes to work towards a collective vision for the site.
Completed in 1971, Jorn Utzon’s Can Lis sits upon the edge of Mallorca’s windswept coastline. The house is made up of four discrete pavilions, which are linked by courtyards and stepping stones. Moving from room to room involves meandering through open spaces framed only by landscaped walls, bare branches and sky.Â
The site is wild and untamed, yet the house feels solid, cave-like. The stone walls, a blushed Santanyi stone, are burnished with weather and wear. The shapes used throughout the house are pure and elemental: rectangles, semicircles and a lone crescent moon, which references the site’s former street address at Avinguda Media Luna.
The way that sunlight moves throughout Can Lis is enchanting. Chamfers of light cut severe shapes across the building, illuminating slivers of floor and wall. The view to the sea is of an endless, barren horizon. I have never heard silence as acutely as here.Â
The sequences throughout the house are impeccably composed: a wall is sliced open to reveal a pathway, which leads to a door, which perfectly frames a simple seat.
The effect is total; of quiet, contemplation and pause.
Can Lis, Majorca
I'm tremendously excited to have been selected as one of the inaugural participants in MADE by the Opera House. The program, which was created in conjunction with the Opera Houses' 40th anniversary, is an international exchange program celebrating the collaborative spirit behind Australian and Danish design.
Above, you'll see Laura, a combined Architecture-Engineering student; Robert, a recent graduate of undergraduate degree in Architecture; Olivia, who studies Interior and Spatial Design; myself, a Masters student of Architecture; and Matthew, a combined student of Engineering and Finance. The team is capped of by Caroline Gradjean-Thomsen, Design Co-Ordinator at the Sydney Opera House.

Helsinki is a happening place. Breaking free from its roots in the old Eastern Bloc, the city has transformed itself into a lively, liveable centre, with a focus on sustainable urban development. In light of this, Helsinki was crowned World Design Capital 2012. It was an honour taken seriously by the city, which has a rich design culture and an energized population of young architects, designers and urban thinkers.
