Architect Johannes Molander Pedersen founded Nord Architects with Morten Rask Gregersen in 2002 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Since then Nord Architects has received wide acclaim for their work as practising architects, urbanists, academics, exhibitors, lecturers and public debaters. Their work investigates how architecture can act as a platform for new alliances between the public, private and civic sectors, creating important societal challenges and expanding the scope of the public realm. Nord Architects has taken on projects within culture, health, education and creative typologies as well as urban spaces and development schemes. Their work includes the award-winning Healthcare Center for Cancer Patients and Kids City daycare in Copenhagen, and masterplans for Hillerød Healthcare Centre and Bispebjerg Hospital in Denmark. Johannes Molander Pedersen is the Australian Institute of Architects’ Foundation Droga Architect in Residence.
