 | UNStudio projects have included the Erasmus Bridge in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, which was designed to reflect the industrial character of the city. |
A new exhibition opening on Monday, Feb. 12, at the Yale School of Architecture showcases the revolutionary approach to construction and design developed by the innovative Amsterdam-based firm UNStudio.
Originating in the Deutsches Architektur Museum (German Architecture Museum), the exhibition, titled "UNStudio: Evolution of Space," focuses on five projects that exemplify the firm's prototype "design models," or planning strategies, derived from digital technology.
For example, the designers' submission to a competition for a redevelopment on Manhattan's West Side represents their holistic "Deep Planning" approach, while the double-helix shape of their heralded new Mercedez-Benz Museum in Stuttgart primarily typifies the "Mathematical Model."
"UNStudio: Evolution of Space" will be on view through May 4. The School of Architecture is located at 180 York St. The hours for the gallery are Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information, contact the School of Architecture at (203) 432-2288 or visit the website at www.architecture.yale.edu.

Another UNStudio project is the Galleria Department Store in Seoul, South Korea. The façade of the store is made up of 4,330 glass discs that are lit by LED lights at night.
The exhibition installation, which brings to life the firm's principles, aims to help visitors understand the revolutionary "gestalt" of UNStudio and to experience first-hand the new reality its designers' application of digital technology has effected.
