Jens has experience with a wide variety of project types spanning from parks to planning to protected areas. In recent years he has focused on climate adaptation – both in cities and coastal areas – and the posibilities of working with recycled and -used materials. Jens believe that it is time to do things differently, while always work in the service of beauty. According to Jens, beauty can be transformative and is the result when you craft with care. Beauty exists when we choose carefully, when we pick materials, which are durable, and plants, which can thrive.
A beautiful space is one that people want to visit and revisit – making a neighbourhood and its neighbours feel cared for. Shifting our ideas of a beautiful project is the rst step. Another step can be rethinking rules and regulations to make it possible to work with recycled materials in everything from waste containment to pavement. In short, Jens believe, that all architectural projects should bring positive change, while improving the quality of everyday life for the people using it.
