Next to architecture, Daniel has been involved in a number of cross fertilization projects within IT and marketing, where social and infrastructural issues have informed the development of innovative business concepts. He has also worked extensively within animation, video and web. Daniel has lectured and taught studios, touching the zone between architecture, technology and new media at universities in Sweden, UK, Australia, Norway and Chile. In 2012-2013 Daniel held the visiting professor position, -Hyde Chair of Excellence, at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln USA. Former Hyde Chairs include Peter Cook, Wolf Prix and Michael Sorkin amongst others.

Daniel is a firm believer in applied architecture, meaning his offices spend just as much time on the factory floor as on site, in the forest or in front of the screen. He focuses on sustainable building with a special interest in cross laminated timber and efficient industrial production and mass customization. He strives to be engaged in the full building process, which has led to a series of new ventures within engineering, software development and property development.
