Through his lens-based work, writing, and large temporary constructions, Troels Steenholdt Heiredal (he/him/they) reassembles the world, enabling people to reflect on how they relate to it.

Working highly interdisciplinary, he develops projects from idea, through concept, design, construction, and execution. Always with a keen sense for detail and tactility. His multifaceted background includes turning a key shop into a camera and a warehouse into a concrete workshop.

In 2019, Troels learned that he is Autistic. He has since been examining the differences between explaining and exploring disability, bringing focus to our different ways of perceiving the world. He is developing an Autistic Architectural Approach, enabling all people to understand their impact and rights to the city.

Troels has been an invited guest critic at Columbia GSAPP, Cornell University, RISD, The Cooper Union, and Tamkang University and helped found Arts, Letters, & Numbers. He has worked, exhibited, and lectured in the US, Argentina, Colombia, Aruba, The Dominican Republic, and Denmark, including at Kunsthal Charlottenborg and the Copenhagen Metro. He holds a Bsc in Architectural Engineering from the Technical University of Denmark and a Masters in Architecture from Aarhus School of Architecture.

Troels was born and raised in Toftlund (b. 1984), a Danish village of 3000, and is currently living in Taipei, Taiwan.
