Interview (PDF) Interview Dornbirn, 15 December 2020 Zumtobel Group Award: 01 Then and now – Checking in with Ben van Berkel and his 2017 award-winning Arnhem Central Station project “A strong and worthy winner of the Urban Developments & Initiatives category”, this is how the Zumtobel Group Award’s jury concluded their statement on Ben van Berkel’s Arnhem Central Station project in 2017. In celebration of next year’s Zumtobel Group Award (ZGA) we want to highlight once again the extensive significance of this project, which not only had an impact on the city, but also on the people of Arnhem. The idea was set – a public transport hub, connecting parts of the city and accommodating the needs of the ever growing city. The master plan, created by UNStudio in 1996, had to face vast economic, financial, social and political changes and a radical transformation in materiality before construction could be started in 2006. This is one of the many reasons, why the ZGA jury chose the Arnhem Central Station as the 2017 winner in the Urban Development category, “the striking persistence of Ben van Berkel and UNStudio in safeguarding the Arnhem Central Station through a series of significant challenges to completion is exemplary. The project proves the necessity of continuous involvement and engagement for sustainable solutions”. Combining necessity with leisure, transport with a stay, a fast paced world with a sustainable concept – those are the key aspects of the Arnhem Central Station. The complex functions as public transport hub and seamlessly incorporates office space, retail, a new station hall, a platform roof structure, a railway underpass, a road tunnel, storage for bicycles, and parking space, making the area a vibrant hub. “The station with its additional structures has a far-reaching impact beyond its own presence and provides smooth and direct access for travellers and other user groups, turning it into a sophisticated hub, a defining piece of architecture and a forward-looking urban complex”, concluded the 2017 Zumtobel Group Award’s jury. How significant this project still is and how the Arnhem Central Station developed over the last few years was shared with us – Ben van Berkel, the mastermind of this award winning project reflects on its impact on the people and city of Arnhem: Do you feel the Arnhem Central Station acted like a stimulus for further developments of this kind? Ben van Berkel: Yes, certainly. In the past, station areas could quickly become very isolated, unappealing parts of the city with very negative connotations. But what we learnt from the Arnhem Central masterplan was that if developed holistically, with an urban approach, they could generate a new form of social liveliness. Recently we are increasingly hearing about the benefits of such an approach in infrastructure and aviation projects. Particularly airports are now being developed (or redeveloped) as mini-cities, with added programme such as housing, office, retail and leisure offerings as part of their overall masterplans. This is important, not just to enliven the surrounding areas, but to ensure multiple revenue streams and thus, resiliency. How did your project add to these developments? Ben van Berkel: So, when we designed the masterplan for Arnhem Central Station, we wanted to turn what had previously been a typical mono-functional train station, into a full-scale transfer hub with additional programme. In addition to connecting the two areas of the city that were previously separated 02 by the train tracks, we also created a large, celebratory central waiting hall with panoramic views to the city that acted as a connector for multiple modes of transport. We also added programmes to the masterplan that would enliven the area, such as retail, F&B, office buildings and a cinema complex. How has the Arnhem Central Station developed in the last two years? Ben van Berkel: The liveliness of the area surrounding the station has continued to develop. People are not just using the area in order to catch a train, It has also become a destination for work and leisure. Any new experiences gained? For any future projects? Ben van Berkel: We saw the masterplan for Arnhem Central as a way to enliven and activate the area of the city where the station was located and that is what happened. We have since adopted this approach for numerous other projects. Not just transfer hubs, but also high-rise mixed-use projects, which require a similar compact masterplan approach, such as FOUR in Frankfurt and the Southbank project in Melbourne. The idea of celebrating travel through architecture by going beyond the utilitarian purpose was also something we brought to our design for the Doha Metro Network and that we bring to our airport designs today. Something you would like to tell us about the last two years in relation to the project? Ben van Berkel: We are very happy that the project has been so well received by the public. Local politicians are also pleased with how the station has turned out, as it has helped to develop a brand for the city, which creates a fantastic opportunity for the further development of Arnhem.

The design brief primarily called for the rebranding of the building while maintaining the building’s façade historic value and aesthetic. Secondarily, the design is meant to activate the urban context where the building is located without competing with the neighboring landmarks. UNStudio saw an opportunity to rethink the transparent layer – the glass window – of the building as a tool to enhance its identity minimizing the aesthetic impact on its historic facade. This case study outlines opportunities to innovate while designing with glass through two often polarized perspectives: contemporary architecture and historic preservation. Architects constantly negotiate the value of private versus public space, transparency versus opacity, and building energy performance in our built environment through the use of glass. Emerging integrated technologies such as LED, photovoltaic, lamination, and touch sensitive layer are enabling new ways of rethinking the roles and applications of glass: as an architectural element, an information layering surface, and an agent for light and transparency.

  • The Gallery Club Architecture in Photography
    Architecture in The Photography Gallery Four generations of Dutch Club architectural photographers The Gallery Club presents Architecture in Photography Four Generations of Dutch Architectural Photographers This exhibition focuses on four generations of Dutch architectural photographers, starting with Jan Versnel, who began working late 1940’s, followed by Jannes Linders and Iwan Baan, and concluding with Ossip van Duivenbode, whose work is from the last decade. The four photographers in this exhibition capture a wide variety of Dutch architecture in their images: from the work of the distinguished Nieuwe Bouwen (Dutch Modernism) architects Brinkman & Van der Vlugt to that of contemporary architects, such as Rem Koolhaas / OMA, Benthem Crouwel Architects, MVRDV and UNStudio / Ben van Berkel. International architects, such as Tadao Ando and SANAA, are also featured in the show. Together these photographers embody more than sixty years of Dutch architectural photography, capturing the development of the urban and architectural landscape. This presents a unique image of time and the special observation of four different photographers, who are inviting the audience to look with a different perspective than the eye of the architect. The Gallery Club is a platform for photography, organized around exhibitions, dinners and events. Every edition of The Gallery Club explores the work of a wide range of Dutch and international photographers through a different theme. www.thegalleryclub.com Jan Versnel 1924-2007 Photographer Jan Versnel is the most influential architectural photographer of his generation, known for his immaculate images of architecture, interiors and products. Contemporary architectural photographers see him as the pioneer of Dutch architectural photography and consider his work an important inspiration for the entire discipline.

  • BNA Kubus for Ben Van Berkel and Caroline Bos of Unstudio
    BNA Kubus for Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos of UNStudio The 2016 BNA Kubus has been awarded to the founders of UNStudio, Ben van Berkel (architect) and Caroline Bos (art historian / urban planner). The aim of the architecture prize, this year bestowed for the 41st time by the Royal Institute of Dutch Architects (abbreviated as BNA), is to express the institute’s appreciation for an exceptional contribution to architecture. The Kubus was awarded on the recommendation of a jury made up of Nathalie de Vries (chair), Steven Nobel, Ton Idsinga, Wienke Bodewes, Willem Hein Schenk and Willem Jan Neutelings. The presentation ceremony will take place on 3 November in Amsterdam. Extract from the jury report The jury concluded that Van Berkel and Bos, together with their UNStudio team, are more than deserved winners of the 2016 BNA Kubus. 'No one controls the creative and technical process better than UNStudio. They prove that in-depth research pays off, as does network-driven collaboration with professionals in the fields of architecture, infrastructure and urban development. The cutting-edge nature and absolute craftsmanship of their body of work makes it both exemplary and innovative.' High quality, iconic buildings and international appeal The jury’s decision was based on three criteria: excellent craftsmanship, a recognisable and innovative body of work, and a relevant contribution to the profession. From the time UNStudio was established in 1988, Van Berkel and Bos have been building up an impressive body of work, according to the jury. Their work is always of high quality, the buildings are iconic and have international appeal.

  • How Remodelling Can Extend a Building's Lifespan
    Go to web version Refurbishment Report Mon 31st Aug 2020 How Remodelling Can Extend a Building's Lifespan Photos: Regionaal Historisch Centrum Eindhoven (published by Sleding) / Evabloem (right) Article: Ben van Berkel Circularity and sustainability are some of the many buzz words used in architecture and design today. From the design process, to the selection of materials, through to the performance of the completed building – we architects are increasingly concerned with reducing the carbon footprint and the impact that our buildings may have on the environment. As an integral part of UNStudio’s design philosophy, we design new buildings and city plans that are resilient and futureproof. By making our designs as flexible as possible, and as multifunctional and adaptable as possible, we aim to maximise the lifecycle of buildings. Click here to download a PDF of this report We are very much aware however that our work doesn’t stop with the completion of a building. The role of architects is constantly changing and our responsibility goes beyond the laying of the last stone. Post-occupancy services are increasingly becoming an integral part of the architectural practice, with digital technology enabling clients to measure and manage the actual performance of their buildings - and to understand and adapt them to the needs of their end users. Worldwide impact The impact of the building industry on our climate also forces us to think about new ways to remodel, restructure and repurpose existing buildings. It's an approach that can be utilised for buildings that are either nearing the end of their lifecycle, or have become ‘outdated’ - due to changing user needs and habits, new insights from data or scientific research, or as a result of new tenant requirements.

With major projects recently completed or approaching completion in Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Korea and the Netherlands, and with teaching appointments in Germany and the United States, UN Studio is creating some of the most innovative and respected work of their generation. When their Mercedes-Benz Museum opens in Stuttgart in 2006, it will cement the rise of one of Europe̕s most influential architecture practices. This is the complete monograph of UN Studio̕s output. 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. The book presents concepts and buildings in detail from the generative diagram, through the digital modelling process, to construction and final outcome.
