JESPER PAGH

I am an architect working as an editor and researcher at The Danish Architectural Press. 

Currently I am working on the PhD-project 'Designing Sustainable Communities', exploring how architecture and design can contribute to the sustainable development of the future welfare society, and create a framework for new notions of ‘the good life’ and ‘the common good.’

The project is being carried out in collaboration between the Danish Architectural Press and the Department of Environmental, Social and Spatial Change at Roskilde University, where I am also associated with the planning studies program Plan, City & Proces.

My general professional interest is the interaction between design, shape and space, sustainability, technology and human behaviour. I do a lot of writing and talking on these subjects – facilitating seminars, conferences, workshops etc. At the university I run courses in design methods, visualization and prototyping and lecture on the theory and history of architecture, design and planning in the context of urbanization and globalization.

I have six years of experience as a consultant and partner in a design company where we worked as consultants for private and public companies using design as a lever to promote sustainable transition.
