Big City Lights, 2017
Big City Lights’ is a personal project where I make an illustration every day, or at least try to. I’ve set myself a few rules for each and every illustration: I must use the same isometric perspective, the same color scheme and a dramatic use of light in the scene.

In the civilizations I have created there are thresholds subtle and almost invisible. They are engineered in the slight gradations of roads and the shifting hues of brick. These are architected to align with transitions, which occur within the self so a sense of unity is drawn. Often openings to great boulevards and beginnings emerge from miniscule movements in form and flow.

Silkscreen on 270 g. Duria paper
Edition of 40"Through the last 2 years I have lived in and travelled through over 100 Danish homes. In this drawing, I merged together impressions from the first 56 homes I visited. Therefore, I call drawing for "My home from December 2012 to July 2013”, for that is exactly what it is: a free reflection on the people, stories, details and spaces that has been my home during this period.
I experience the drawing as a memory, a dream, a book or a blueprint for a brand new house. I am interested in lifestyles, habits, objects, living spaces, and I have been talking to a lot of people around these issues. I have worked in the drawing regularly and printed it myself at a screen print workshop at Vesterbro in Copenhagen. The drawing is printed in a edition of 40 pieces on 270 gr. Duria paper.”Morten Sylvest Nøhr

Buffering Landscapes
In the current debate relating to climate change, flooding a problematic consequence of global warming. In the Swiss Alpine region of Grindelwald (a territory close to the country’s main source of seasonal rain and snow fall and with glacial melt water) an augmentation of the alpine landscape take advantage of Switzerland’s vast water resource. New ways of living are explored using water in its different states to benefit the community. Future weather extremes require the development of new strategies for resilience in hydrology (particularly freshwater supply) and energy supply.
