Architecture Shapes Behaviour: At 3XN, we believe that Architecture shapes behaviour. Our role is not just to create beautiful monuments, but equally important, it is to create the framework which works towards a better environment and a greater enjoyment for those who will be using the building,’ says Kim Herforth Nielsen, who shares the partnership with CEO Bo Boje Larsen and Head of Competition Department Jan Ammundsen.
The social approach to architecture is appreciated also by Paul Finch, Editor Emeritus of the well known Architect’s Journal and Architectural Review. ’3XN has shown that it is possible to create buildings with focus on the user, without compromising aesthetic quality.’
