Herman Hjorth Berge (1997) is deeply unsatisfied by the built environment. Born in Stavanger, Norway he has enjoyed the privilege of being immersed in nature - but in a society completely dominated by the fossil fuel industry. Herman recognises the urgency of the climate crisis as well as the crisis of degradation and loss of nature, and seeks to combat and undo colonial land relations through his practice.

Herman graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie Architectural Design department in 2021 with the thesis Countrycide and accompanying project crushed mountain, and completed the Decolonizing Architecture postmasters at the Royal Institute of Art in 2025.  His practice relies on research, writing, making and collaborations as essential to the creative process, and works with different scales and media. Herman is currently is based in Stockholm, Sweden.
