UNStudio

(Basic Architecture Series). Dutch architects Ben Van Berkel and Caroline Bos create spaces that are surprisingly innovative and which embrace the digial tage via the invention of new, time-based techniques expanding the imagination, exploding the hierarchy of the design process and encouraging the input of different disciplines. UN Studio's architecture is the result of a design strategy that repeatedly and constantly advances in different ways with leitmotifs called "design modals." Important examples are the new Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuggart and the Erasmus bridge in Rotterdam. Addenda. Color/b&w illus. 96p.
