Bjørn Ginman
Senior Lead Designer, Project Director, Landscape Architect MAA MDL
Over the years we have led the design and realization of several award-winning climate adaptation projects.
We strongly believe in dialogue and human-driven approach to adapting life in cities to the new climate. We guide our clients and collaborators in how to use nature to future-proof cities and communities, with our deep knowledge of ecosystem services, climate adaptation, and human behavior.
We work with climate adaptation of all kinds. From livable flood- and stormwater-protected harbourfronts. Lush, nature-rich, vibrant climate-adaptive urban spaces and parks. To reduction of extreme urban temperatures with cooling, biodiverse parks, and streets.
We operate globally in various climate conditions. Our starting point is always thorough analytic research of the climate and biodiversity, combined with an anthropological analysis of social life to achieve a hyper-local and holistic understanding of site opportunities.

Why Darkness Matters: Acknowledging the Rhythms of Nature
When did you last see a starry night sky? For city-dwellers, this experience may feel like a distant memory. Our extensive use of artificial light has turned ‘darkness’ into a diminishing phenomenon – not only affecting stargazers but also the health of humans, wildlife, and trees. As Pernille Bech-Larsen, lighting designer at SLA, will unfold, we have plenty of good reasons to let a little more darkness into our cities.
