Dorte Kristensen

Dorte Kristensen is originally a Danish architect. Dorte's oeuvre includes public buildings with social functions such as residential environments, healthcare, educational and cultural spatial design. Her work focuses on people's health and the quality of the environment. Both contribute to the well-being of its users in the broadest sense of the word. Her choices for space, materials, and forms always have to do with human actions. Over time, as a result of numerous educational projects, she developed a design vision for educational spaces. Her design approach recently resulted in award-winning Letovo school campus design in Moscow. This project design was proclaimed Best Architecture School Design in Moscow 2016 by the municipality of Moscow. Dorte’s strength is twofold; comprehending the diversity of educational visions allows her to translate this knowledge into a creative design. Moreover, multiple uses of space always add value to her design solutions. This also applies to healthcare projects, leading to the internationally awarded Meander Medical Center and Scheldehof residential care center in Vlissingen (WAN Award healthcare 2018) The user's perspective prevails in all her projects. Because of the contextual design approach, each project has a spatial and social impact. Atelier PRO contextual projects demonstrate the balance between functionality and the building as a community symbol. This is why she is often invited to international architectural conferences.
