70°N arkitektur works with all kinds of design issues from small object design, exhibition and set design, housing projects to area planning and urban design, as well as lecturing and teaching.
70°N arkitektur developes projects, thinking and methods within the whole spectre of architectural practice buildings, landscape, urbanism, processes/ development, theory/ideas, communication/participation and exhibitions. Experimentation and dialogue are fundamental in 70°N arkitektur’s practice. Ever since the office was established architectural competitions have been an important arena for continuous reformulation and development of the office’s practice as a reflective, critical and committed approach to architecture and planning, and a vital position in the public debate concerning architecture, urban development and regional planning.
70°N arkitektur has been noticed in several national and international competitions, lately with 1st prizes in regional planning competition Øresundsvisioner 2040 and Nordhavnen International Ideas Competition, Copenhagen. The office has received several awards, as Architectural Review’s Award for Emerging Architecture – Highly Commended in 2008.
