Rikke is trained as an architect and landscape architect from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture, Design and conservation (KADK), where she also received her PhD.
Research and practice
She researches methodologies addressing the body´s sensorium, the role of experience and sensation, and a more dynamic, sequential, transient and aesthetic spatial approach towards landscape transformation and an extended sensory awareness in relation to nature, landscape transformatins, design and planning processes.
At UCPH-IGH, she has pioneered in the field of sensory analysis, conception, media mediations, especially film, and its co-creating role in place-based design and planning. Her current main research focus is multi-sensory large-scale analysis and design and the embedded performativity capacity of drone filming to stir a sensory and affectivity reoriented planning practice in order to qualify the hybrid of natural and human-made landscapes.
For the last fifteen years, Rikke has developed and integrated her practice and knowledge on landscape transformations, cuktural heritage, design, planning, participatory processes, large-scale analysis and media mediations through different research, teaching and practice collaborations. Besides research and teaching she has since 2003 had her own studio and worked as a planner before her position as PhD Fellow. Her PhD thesis 'Landscapetransformations' received the ICAR CORA Prize 2011, and also her studio mupLA has won prices for projects in multiple scales. She collaborates with architecture offices, artists, municipalities and holds/has had several trusts.
Rikke is member of the IGN Study Board, part of the research groups Landscape Architecture and Urbanism' and 'Spatial Change and Planning' and in the organizing group for the Copenhagen Landscape Lectures series.
Research
Rikke develops future landscape scenarios for flood and drought resilience, as a member of the Danish Living lab group in the EU Water4All project INTERLAYER (2024-27), which explores 'slow hydrolgy' approaches and scenarios in the Værebro å system
Rikke is research partner on the Research Fund Denmark, DFF/FKK funded 'Done Imaginaries and Communities. Understanding Drones through Aesthetics' (2020-2024). The Project started September 2020. See more here: www.sdu.dk/diacs
Rikke is project leader of the Pilot project The Ribe River System, nature and landscape values in climate adaptation (2020-2022, 15. Juni Fonden, Miljøstyrelsen).
Rikke leads the 2020-2022 Danish Art Foundation supported project 'Drone Aesthetic Experience and co-creation - a pre-project', that explores the sensory-engaging and experience-stimulating capacity of drone-footage, which is necessary in the work with major landscape transformations regarding climate adaptation and their spatial impacts and effect on peole and other living.
Rikke is as project member responsable for filmic explorations under the landscape accessment in the Pilot project Gudenådalen (2021-2022, Gudenåkomiteen)

Teaching
Rikke has been teaching in Architectural schools since 2000. From 2012 at UCPH-IGN she has as course responsible initiated, planned and conducted design studio teaching at bachelor and master level. She supervises bachelor, master thesis students and PhD-students. Her current courses as course responsible are:
BSc Practice and Aesthetics in Landscape Architecture – Studio (HVÆS), mandatory coruse 15 ECTS, 2014 - now
HVÆS explores the interchange between body and horizon physically in space, abstract in theories and projective in mediation of media (drawing, model, photography and film). Aware work with such co-creation extends students sensory and aesthetic experience and cognition as basic practice in the profession. Students provide competences to develop individually and gain tools, skills and knowledge of aesthetics and a performative phenomenological design thinking and making, linked to current planning and design challenges.
MSc design course Transformation Studio - from 2023 Rikke is engaged as co-teacher.
She teaches and has taught/given lectures at Theory & Methods in Landscape Architecture, Theories of Urban Design, GeoDesign, Scientific Theory of Landscape Architecture, Thematic course II. Rural landscapes - Management and Planning.
Previously she was course responsible for and teaching the two master design courses:
MSc Landscape Film – Studio, 7,5 ECTS, 2014-2018
Landscape Film - Studio is a design studio exploring new media, especially film, approach and language of design, and an extended aware ability to work explorative with media mediations. Students develop an individual design intervention focusing specifically on the film mediums embedded sensory performativity in design processes. The final course projects have to contain output in the different media and a site-specific proposal in film in order to stir new performative aesthetics.
MSc Urbanism Studio, 15 ECTS, 2013-2015.
