Henning Larsen Architects



INTERNSHIP
AUGUST - DECEMBER 2019
COPENHAGEN, DENMARK



Known internationally for their continuation of the Scandinavian Modernist tradition, Henning Larsen Architects is an award-winning Danish firm based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Paying careful attention to the human scale, the firm uses a strong social approach to design, rooted in sustainability, livability, and social responsibility.


I worked closely on several projects during my time here, including a competition submission for a masterplan in Wolfsburg, Germany, where I produced renderings, 3D models, and key diagrams; a children’s museum in MiSK, Saudi Arabia, where I helped design a series of integrated rooftops and themed gardens; a concept design for a renovation of the historic Palads Teatret in Copenhagen (pictured); a screening system for a masterplan in Vancouver, Canada; and a competition design concept for a mixed use building in Gothenburg, Sweden. Each of these projects helped me gain valuable insight into designing for specific climates, cultures, and users; all through a humanistic, emphathetic, and environmentally-driven lens.


I am not able to show all of the projects I worked on due to privacy concerns. Below is a model I created with a fellow intern for a competition for the Renovation of Palads Teatret in Copenhagen, Denmark.
