Developed through the Forensic Architecture Project by theorist Eyal Weizman at Goldsmiths College, University of London, Forensis seeks to expand the scope of contemporary forensics to include a broader historical, theoretical, political and aesthetic context. At the heart of the book is a methodological experiment in which participating architects, artists, filmmakers, lawyers, and theorists employed new technologies and spatial research methods to investigate contemporary issues such as border regimes, urban warfare, and climate change. Investigations were undertaken in Pakistan, Palestine, the Amazon basin, Guatemala, Chile, Bangladesh, Yemen, the United States and the former Yugoslavia among others places. Evidence of state or corporate violence was unearthed for use by prosecution teams, civil society organizations, activist networks, human rights groups, and the United Nations. Innovative investigations aimed at producing new kinds of evidence in this rich collection of essays and research reports suggest many new ways that international prosecutorial teams, political organizations,

  • Applying Design Thinking to Glass Systems in the 18 Septemberplein Redevelopment

All rights reserved. ISBN 978-94-6366-296-3, https://doi.org/10.7480/cgc.7.4608 Beyond Materiality, Towards Craftsmanship: Applying Design Thinking to Glass Systems in the 18 Septemberplein Redevelopment Ben van Berkel a, Gerard Loozekoot a, Filippo Lodi a, Sitou Akolly a, Atira Ariffin a a UNStudio, The Netherlands, [email protected] This paper describes the design process UNStudio undertook in the redevelopment of the C&A Building on 18 Septemberplein in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. 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.

  • 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.
