Destinations covered are located throughout North and South America, Europe, and Australia.

Today, the parameters of shop design have expanded exponentially. No longer is the retail landscape crafted only for shopping convenience and to reinforce brand identity. It has evolved to reflect the role of shops as a public space where we spend a large part of our leisure time. For this reason, architects and designers are increasingly pushing the boundaries when designing shop interiors. The result: the creation of unique and spectacular spaces within the city; spaces which engage and entertain even the most jaded browsers and add to the city’s dynamism.

UN Studio, led by Dutch architects Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos, creates spaces that are surprisingly innovative.

Their work doesn`t rehash Modernism but rather embraces the digital age 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. UNStudio`s architecture is the result of a design strategy that repeatedly and constantly advances in different ways via leitmotifs called "design models." The most important examples of this new kind of architecture are the New Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart and the Erasmus bridge in Rotterdam, which has become the town`s new landmark. Another manifest aim is to come up with fundamentally new ideas for complex infrastructure projects and to give these a contemporary structure that fosters future (including urban) development.

This can be seen, for example, at the central train station in Arnhem, at the Ponte Parodi pier in Genoa, and at the Canadian Centre for Architecture´s (CCA) prestigious "Competition for the Design of Cities." This book presents an overview of UN Studio`s work to date.

About the Series:

Every book in TASCHEN's Basic Architecture Series features:

- approximately 120 images, including photographs, sketches, drawings, and floor plans
- introductory essays exploring the architect's life and work, touching on family and background as well as collaborations with other architects
- the most important works presented in chronological order, with descriptions of client and/or architect wishes as well as construction problems and resolutions
- an appendix including a list of complete or selected works, biography, bibliography, and a map indicating the locations of the architect's most famous buildings
 

This is the complete monograph of UN Studio’s output.

In the seventeen years since Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos established their studio in Amsterdam, they have continually pushed the boundaries of contemporary architecture, seeking new design practices and building solutions.

With major projects recently completed or approaching completion in Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Korea and the Netherlands, and teaching appointments in Germany and the United States, UN Studio is creating some of the most innovative and respected work of their generation. Their recently opened Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart cemented their reputation as one of Europe’s most influential architecture practices.

From a live-work house based on a Möbius strip to radical infrastructure projects, such as bridges and transportation hubs, from power stations to museums, the practice has subtly, but profoundly, reinvented a number of standard building types and proposed radical new modes of collaboration in the digital age.

100 of the best projects to have been proposed since the turn of the millennium. Includes projects by the world’s greatest architects, from UN Studio, Foreign Office Architects, Diller Scofidio + Renfro and Zaha Hadid to such up-and-coming stars as J. Mayer H. Architects and Asymptote.

The book is a treasure trove of as-yet untried design ideas and the ultimate inspiration for forward-thinking professionals and anyone interested in contemporary architecture.

Among the featured projects are proposed schemes for the ergonomic Cuidad del Motor race track complex by UN Studio; the National Portrait Gallery with anthropomorphic skin façcade by Sean Godsell Architects; the Battersea Power Station master plan by Arup AGU; the vertical villages of the Dubai Tower by Grimshaw, and many others.

Over the course of the past two decades a previously unrecognized genre of startlingly modern looking large flat woven hangings and covers (gelims) has emerged from an isolated highland region in Mazandaran Province in northern Iran. No one had imagined that hidden in the forests south of the Caspian Sea there could have existed such sophisticated treasures, which in their deceptive simplicity of abstract patterning and subtle colouring are much in accord with the aesthetic canons of contemporary ‘minimalist’ art. Published in association with Hali.
