My career

All ready as a first year student he won the first prize in the national student competition “ PRISOPGAVE KØBENHAVN”(Denmark) with a project for a futuristic metro station. After his studies he moved to Venice and has been living there ever since.
In 2002 he won the second price in the national architecture competition “ CHRISTIAN D. IV´S BRYGHUS”
and decided to open his own office of architecture and design in Venice, Italy.
In 2003 he started a research project “the meeting point between the roman baroque and the nordic classicism”. This project became the theoretic and morphological foundation for many of the later design projects of Brian.
In 2004 he won the international art competition TARGETTI LIGHT ART AWARD which became a starting point for his career as lighting designer.
From 2004-2006 he designed and developed a streetlamp for the city Ringsted, Denmark, in collaboration with Louis Poulsen Lighting.
