UNStudio is an international architectural practice, situated in Amsterdam since 1988, with extensive experience in the fields of urbanism, infrastructure, public, private and utility buildings on different scale levels. At the basis of UNStudio are a number of long-term goals, which are intended to define and guide the quality of our performance in the architectural field. We strive to make a significant contribution to the discipline of architecture, to continue to develop our qualities with respect to design, technology, knowledge and management and to be a specialist in public network projects. We see as mutually sustaining the environment, market demands and client wishes that enable our work, and we aim for results in which our goals and our client’s goals overlap. The expertise of UNStudio’s office personnel spans the gamut from technical and design professional architects to authorities in the fields of management and theory. The internal organizational core of the practice revolves around internal communication committees from which ideas and decisions permeate outwards and are absorbed. In these platforms specialists in their respective fields and senior personnel continuously bring our processes of planning, finance, acquisition, public relations, quality and organization to the next level. This enables us to minimize communication lines and combine the experience and expertise gained from the various projects, alongside the content developed in the knowledge platforms. UNStudio works as a part of a united network. A highly flexible methodological approach has been developed which incorporates parametric designing and collaborations with leading specialists in other disciplines. Drawing on the knowledge found in related fields facilitates the exploration of comprehensive strategies which combine programmatic requirements, construction and movement studies into an integrated design. With this network approach UNStudio can set-up multidisciplinary teams from early stages onwards in order to create an efficient and integrated working process. This dynamic nature of the practice enables the exploration of new territories and the adaptation to future challenges.
