S8E7. Michael Møller Pedersen

From the renovated Gensler offices in Downtown Los Angeles, Århus-born Danish architect MICHAEL MØLLER PEDERSEN recalls his plan to move to LA with his wife in 2005 for a ten-year trial period. 20 years later, as project architect and technical director, he discusses architecture as a focus on the human experience, the role of sustainability, what makes a good architect, his appetite for large, complex projects, and the topic of heritage as a Dane living in the US raising his young daughter. ----------For today's episode, Michael Møller Pedersen chose Vilhelm Hammershøi's Stue i Strandgade med solskin på gulvet, or Interior in Strandgade, Sunlight on the Floor, from 1901 from the collection of the National Gallery of Denmark.https://open.smk.dk/en/artwork/image/KMS3696----------Photographer: Ryan Gobuty----------This conversation with Tina Jøhnk Christensen occurred on July 11, 2025.----------We invite you to subscribe to Danish Originals for weekly episodes.
