Malin Heyman

Malin Heyman is an architect, researcher, educator and writer educated at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York, United States, and the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. She is a founding partner of the Stockholm based collaborative practice AT - HH and practices architecture within the framework of built work as well as speculative projects through exhibitions and publications. AT - HH’s work investigates the role of architecture in identity-forming processes in relation to the central role of fiction in the production and representation of architecture.

Malin Heyman has worked on built projects in Sweden, the US and Switzerland. Her work has been exhibited at Swedish Centre for Architecture and Design, Venice Biennale, Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm, Archivo in Mexico City, Royal Academy of Spain in Rome, SPARK in Malmö, Färgfabriken and Liljevalchs Konsthall in Stockholm, and Proyector in Mexico City. Her work as writer, editor and architect has been published in journals and books such as Arkitektur, A+U, Architectural Digest, Rotunda (Trema förlag), Architectural Dissonances (L’Internationale), LOBBY Magazine, New Generations, A.MAG and Arkitekturtidskriften KRITIK. Prior to founding AT - HH, while employed as project architect, projects managed by Malin Heyman were nominated for the Architects Sweden awards Kaspar Salin and Villapriset.

In 2024, AT–HH was awarded the Young Swedish architecture prize. In the same year, the Editions QNDMC/GRAM publication “Heyman Hamilton 05” featuring the work by AT–HH was published.

For their current work researching reproductions of whiteness in the reconstruction of the anatomical theater in Uppsala, AT - HH has received funding from the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts and a project grant from the Swedish Arts Grants Committee. In 2023, this research was awarded a 3-year artistic research project grant by the Swedish Research Council/Vetenskapsrådet.

Malin Heyman started and still runs Out of Practice Studio together with Anders Berensson at the KTH School of Architecture. By attentively and playfully using, discussing and attempting to challenge the tools of architecture one at a time by taking them “out of practice” into the space of the studio and embrace the fact that we are all a little “out of practice”, the studio hopes to slowly start untangling understandings of what agency we really have as practitioners. Working out our imagination as well as working an embodied perspective into all experiments, the studio aims at allowing both students and teachers to become more aware of our own points of view and exercise our empathy.
