Martine Lynge Lyngesen is an architect trained in Political Architecture: Critical Sustainability at the Royal Academy. She started Studio Formation in 2020. The studio helps clients get overview, sketching and project planning, so ideas get concretized and brought to life - step by step. In addition to architectural counselling, Studio Formation also offers project management and contact with skilled professionals through its network. In this way, the projects are taken care of all the way around, and clients see their dreams take shape.
Communication of architecture is close to Martine's heart and is one of the core elements of her practice. She has been giving guided tours since 2019 in collaboration with, among others, Danish Architecture Center and ScaleDenmark. Martine knows everything about the city's dramatic transformation from the 80s to today and has a focus on inclusivity, democratization and accessibility in her work - both on the drawing board and in the streets of Copenhagen on her tours.
Martine spends a lot of time on voluntary work, e.g. in the association Building Diversity, which works for a more inclusive building industry through debate, networking, conversation and literature. The association, which started out combating sexism in architecture, has today expanded to also tackle problems such as Dark Design, where people who are homeless are excluded from the city by for instance having their sleeping places removed when designers make benches impossible to lie down on.
Experience and discuss the city's good and bad designs on the tours with Martine, where we see Copenhagen’s special urban design for ourselves.
