Dorte Mandrup
Dorte Mandrup, Danish architect and founder of the architectural practice of that name in Copenhagen, is renowned for her expertise in solving complex problems and for her distinctive, insightful and poetic solutions to design problems. Her preferred manner of work is “hands-on” – interactively with all those involved in a project. With 25 years of professional experience, Dorte Mandrup Architects is known for its transformations, mixed-use buildings and other landmarks. The practice has a whole line of internationally recognized iconic buildings to its name, including the recent Icefjord Centre in Greenland and the IKEA Hubhult international meeting centre in Sweden. Her latest Copenhagen project: the Sundbyøster Hall II (SH2), in which sport, shopping and housing are united beneath a single roof.
