DrHannes Frykholm

Hannes Frykholm is an architect (UC Berkeley and LTH, (MSc. Arch)), researcher and lecturer at ADP. He holds a PhD in architecture from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden. His doctoral thesis, Building the City from the Inside, considers entrance situations that occur between buildings and cities, in order to develop new ways of investigating architecture and urban transformation. Hannes has been a practicing architect in Sweden for more than 10 years. Between 2021 and 2024, he was the Rothwell Chair Postdoctoral Associate, in collaboration with Rothwell co-chairs Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal. His research explores how existing residential buildings and infrastructures can be transformed to provide more shared but undefined space, addressing the challenges of high-density cities without demolition. How might non-extractive housing architecture reduce embodied carbon while creating spatial possibilities unavailable through demolition and redevelopment?
