“Every month, around the world, our industry is constructing cities the size of Manhattan” states Mikkel, who understands the importance of climate-adapted architecture. “We have an obligation and an opportunity to make sure this is designed in the most intelligent and sustainable way possible”. Architecture and climate adaptation are closely linked in the creation of functional and sustainable buildings suitable for a changing climate. Throughout Mikkel’s 15-year career, he has worked in creating progressive and regenerative projects. For Mikkel, sustainability is much more than a buzzword: “It’s a matter of realising that we are in a position to have an impact”. Currently, Mikkel is the design responsible for one of the largest timber projects in Denmark.
