Henrik Valeur is one of the most popular and richest Architect who was born on October 13, 1966 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Henrik Valeur was the son of Mogens Valeur, a Danish visual artist, and Birgitte Valeur (fashion designer). Both his grandfathers were civil engineers. He was born in Tibirke (Tisvilde), a small Danish village to the north of Copenhagen. He studied architecture at Escuela Tecnica Superior de Arquitectura, Barcelona, and at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts School of Architecture, Copenhagen. He graduated in 1994. After that, he worked briefly for Rem Koolhaas’ Office for Metropolitan Architecture (Rotterdam).

Fredrik Fritzon and Henrik Valeur developed a range of planning tools in the 2000s that were intended to facilitate flexible and inclusive planning. The tools included the 4D+ Model, the 1:1 Sketch Model and the Change Design Model. They were displayed and discussed during a fair-like workshop that they hosted for the 6th European Biennal of Towns and Town Planning, held in Copenhagen, 2005. The idea shop was attended by several young architects from Sweden and Denmark.

For the development of Trekroner East in Roskilde (2002–03), Henrik Valeur organized a workshop with groups of young architects, artists and representatives of various interest groups, the municipality, local citizens and experts, who worked together to design the landscape of this new part of the city – prior to the design of the buildings, thus making it a practical example of landscape urbanism and of a participatory and collaborative planning process.

CoMa was exhibited, in the format of a multimedia installation, at Form/Design Center in Malmö in 2002 and at the Danish Architecture Centre in Copenhagen in

2004. In addition, the team organized a conference about the Øresund Region and contributed a sound installation to an international group exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Roskilde.

He was invited to exhibit his work at Arkitekturgalleriet in 1999, which is an exhibition space for young architects at Denmark’s Architecture Centre. He presented his work in the exhibition, titled ’99, but sometimes incorrectly called UiD/Henrik Valeur.

In a feature article in Politiken (2009) he argued that in response to climate change, i.e. extreme weather, sea level rise and stormwater etc., ecology and urbanity must be integrated. But rather than moving the city out into the countryside, as Ebenezer Howard had proposed with his garden city concept more than a hundred years earlier, Henrik Valeur suggested that nature be incorporated in the city both physically, for instance in the form of soil and vegetation that can absorb excess water, and conceptually, in the way we think about cities. Ten years later, in another feature article in Politiken, he used Fredens Havn (Harbour of Peace), a spontaneously evolved and self- organized floating settlement in the central parts of Copenhagen, as an example of climate adapted living in the city.
