Talk abstract:
Using geometrical complexity as a basis for organizing complex building programs
For the complex tasks in which UNStudio is confronted with as an architectural office, the 'standard' design tools of the architect don't comply anymore. The talk wants to give a brief insight in the way UNStudio uses geometrical complexity as a basis for organizing complex building programs. The lecture will cover the Museum for Mercedes Benz (.de) that was opened last year, which uses a trefoil organization based on a dna structure and the design for the new Central station for the city of Arnhem (.nl) that is planned to open in 2010, which is design around the flux of passenger traffic flows.
