Anne Mette Boye (DK) specializes in urban planning, public spaces, landscape architecture, and architectural quality for both humans and nonhumans. Her projects create spatial and strategic connections between complex societal visions and concrete architectural solutions. As city architect, her work spans three areas: advising the councilor and city council, providing internal architectural advice on key projects, and developing competencies and processes to promote architectural quality. She highlights architecture’s potential, develops projects and partnerships through a diverse, interdisciplinary network. New initiatives include Aarhus Architecture Week, which communicates the city’s architecture to the public, and Aarhus Urban and Landscape Laboratory, exploring new paths for sustainable urban, landscape, and building transitions.

Anne Mette has a background as a practicing architect and partner in her own firm, as well as a researcher, teacher, and developer at the Aarhus School of Architecture. She has also been a lecturer, critic, and examiner at architecture schools both nationally and internationally.
