Kristine Slotina is a Senior Constructing Architect, Techno-Anthropologist, and Design Technology Researcher at Nordic — Office of Architecture, where she leads initiatives at the intersection of design, technology, and organizational transformation.
At Nordic, Kristine contributes to shaping the firm’s digital and design technology strategy, aligning tools, methods, and people to deliver smarter, more collaborative projects. As discipline and staffing coordinator (fag- og bemanningskoordinator), she ensures that the right competencies and digital processes support both project quality and innovation.
Alongside her professional work, Kristine is pursuing a PhD at NTNU – Norwegian University of Science and Technology, exploring how expert groups collaborate in the AEC industry through a Techno-Anthropological lens. Her research focuses on Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) and how digital frameworks can enhance transparency, coordination, and value creation across disciplines.
With a multidisciplinary foundation — including an MSc in Techno-Anthropology and a BA in Architectural Technology and Construction Management — Kristine bridges strategic thinking with practical digital implementation. Her leadership experience includes serving as BIM Director at Nordic (2018/2019 and 2021/2022), where she guided the company’s BIM strategy and development of digital expertise.
Beyond her architectural and research roles, Kristine brings creativity and communication to her work through teaching and improvised theatre, strengthening her abilities as a facilitator, educator, and collaborator in complex team environments.
