BRIEF RESUME
Frederick Rickmann is one of that new breed of modern design thinkers who can bring new solutions to a wide range of disciplines. From large urban developments in China, to the small intricacies of industrial design, Frederick Rickmann has the ability to run through changes in scale and size - through materials, processes and time. The result is a chain of design based companies that span the globe and the spectrum of design.
AFR is the architectural wing with a mission for creating better cities. The spaces and places within cities that give it life and quality are as much a part of the design as the actual buildings. Urban design projects are now on a large scale and are often of international and strategic value.
DNgroup is probably one of the pioneering international offices in innovation and design in Denmark. The sheer volume of top international awards and recognition gained by DN over the past years pay tribute to the consistent global quality of unorthodox new thinking and design.
