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.
