Sweco Transform Award 2022

Winner 2022

Jacob Jørgensen from Arkitektskolen Aarhus was named the winner of the Sweco Transform Award 2022. After rounds of presentations from the five well-chosen finalists and thorough voting, the jury was able to reveal the winner with the reasoning:

“We were fascinated by Jacob’s way of challenging our normal approach to the climate-adapting our cities, coasts and fjords. With Thorsminde and Nissum Fjord as focal points, he did away with the habit of protecting the coast at all costs. Instead, he showed how we can invite the water in and use it actively as a resource in a coastal landscape, which historically has nevertheless been changeable. At the same time, Jacob delivered a professional and convincing pitch on stage in Sweco’s atrium.”

Jacob is now employed in Sweco Architects’ landscape department.
