New Amsterdam Plein & Pavilion in Battery Park - UNStudio, with Handel Architects LLP
Placed on the New Amsterdam Plein, the NY400 Dutch Pavilion is presented as a gift from the Dutch government to the people of New York. The pavilion marks the location as a destination and a ‘hub’ of a multivalent programme. The programme oscillates between facility services (culinary outlet and information point) and more temporary or changing art and new light/media installations. The geometry of the pavilion expresses its programmatic intentions, with the centre of the installation designed for more permanent functions.Read more here

Product Description

Amsterdam-based architects Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos, principals of UNStudio, are stars of the international architecture scene. Culling from a pool of interdisciplinary experts, UNStudio seeks 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 outcome of their self-defined goals are apparent in dynamic buildings like Five Franklin Place, a residential building completed in 2007 in New York's TriBeCa neighborhood, which expresses a nuanced conceptual and technical complexity and confidence while also providing a must-see architectural experience. This volume reveals UNStudio's process, in which a sense of place is seamlessly integrated with aesthetic and conceptual considerations.
