Unstudio

Architects Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos from the Amsterdam practice UNStudio have become undeniable stars on the international architectural scene. Within their interdisciplinary net of experts they promote creative integral design processes, aiming to further the progressive path of contemporary architecture. The outcome is dynamic buildings like the Magnet Resonance Institute at the University of Utrecht or the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart; buildings of extreme conceptual and technical complexity and conviction that also, with rare consistency, offer a high level of architectural experience. One of the practice’s most outstanding qualities is the fact that a sense of atmosphere and beauty is never neglected in these buildings and objects, designed with such artistic fervour. This “Portfolio” volume takes the reader into the UNStudio world.
