In her editorial critique for The Plan our Founder & Creative Director Dorte Mandrup reflects on the relationship between nature and culture in a radically changing global context

Partner og Director of Business Development & Communication Oanh Nguyen Henriksen opfordrer branchen til at skrive under på et arkitektcharter mod gratis arbejde og urimelige vilkår. Vi skal tilbage til kernen i arkitekturen, som handler om værdiskabelse. Om det gode koncept og de stærke bæredygtige visioner. Om æstetik og arkitektonisk kvalitet.

Et enkeltstående kreativt geni. Mesteren. Manden. Sådan er arkitekten traditionelt blevet fremstillet. Og selvom kvinderne for længst har erobret arkitektfaget, er det en kanoniseret stereotyp, der er svær at gøre op med. Sammen med Golden Days festivalen "QUEENS" tager vi temperaturen på kønsdiversiteten anno 2022.

Vores administrerende direktør Frants Nielsen og kreative direktør Dorte Mandrup sætter fokus på de ulige magtforhold i arkitektbranchen og opfordrer til at sætte krav i udbud, så der sættes skub under en forandring. Vi kan ikke vente på, at det sker af sig selv!

Dorte Mandrup discuss gender equality in the architecture industry and the creative process behind some of the studios most recent designs on My Modern Met Top Artist Podcast.

"Architects of tomorrow, advance your toolbox, deepen your knowledge and equip yourself with evidence. Do not settle for a singular solution to sustainable architecture but insist on making solutions based on context-specific choices.

The strive for sustainability requires that we develop our practice as architects. We must substantiate our knowledge about conditions, climate and materials. We need to be curious when it comes to both questioning existing methods and exploring new opportunities in an ever changing and increasingly complex world.

By reimagining the old mineral water factory and transforming the listed building into a mixed-use property, we contribute to the unique development of the historic Carlsberg City District in Copenhagen.

Chairing the powerful award has left Dorte Mandrup confident about the future of architecture.

Assuming a lot of people will be spending their time in Cannes discussing risk management and how to grow the bottom line, Dorte Mandrup wants to bring a different view to the table.

IKEA's head office in Malmö is celebrating its 3rd birthday this year, so we look back and reflect on our architectural translation of the iconic brand.

For human beings, the freedom of infinite space is daunting. Environments like the Arctic offer the experience of being surrounded by endless space. Conditions here are tough. Extreme cold, wind, snow and ice are all normal features of daily life and if not prepared, existence is harsh.

Dorte speaks out about the unambitious social housing in Denmark which ironically, isn't very social at all.

Challenging sites are no challenge in our eyes - UNESCO protected sites are notoriously full of architectural challenges, but we're more about troubleshooting than trouble-seeking.

Dorte Mandrup recently featured in the hit-list of female architects - but why the gendered category?
