The book aims to show a selection of TYIN s projects in Southeast Asia and other recent ones in Norway-- projects that reflect the four core values of their practice: material, structure, detail and human. These concepts materialize in handicraft, recycling, experimentation with new materials and the most practical and logical simplicity."

MUSAC (The Institute of Contemporary Arts in Castilla) presents this illustrated monograph celebrating the work of the Norwegian design studio TYIN Tegnestue, founded by Yashar Hanstad and Andreas Gjertsen. These two young architects have travelled the world in search of meaning and possibilities for the future of design, taking them to war zones of on the Thai-Burmese border, the slums of Bangkok and the jungles of Sumatra. After several years of extensive travel, they asked themselves what have they learned - working outside the confines of conventional architecture, in the backdrop of different cultures and languages - and decided to share the processes, core values and methods applied in each of their projects.

単調な勉学の日々に飽き足らず建築家であることの意味を見つけるべく二人の若い建築家が世界各地を回り各地でさまざまな出来事に遭遇しながら実績を積んでいく。本書は、手探りで始めたタイ・ミャンマー国境における最初のプロジェクトからノルウェーの都市・農村部での最近の活動まで建築家としての探求の旅を続ける記録である。

The current trend for constructing experimental structures is now an international phenomenon. It has been taken up worldwide by design professionals, researchers, educators and students alike. There exist, however, distinct and significant tendencies within this development that require further investigation. This issue of AD takes on this task by examining one of the most promising trajectories in this area, the rise of intensely local architectures. In his seminal essay of 1983, Kenneth Frampton redefined Critical Regionalism by calling for an intensely local approach to architectural design. Today, Frampton’s legacy is regaining relevance for a specific body of work in practice and education focused on the construction of experimental structures. Could this ultimately provide the seeds for a compelling and alternative approach to sustainable design?

Can a building really have no relationship whatsoever to its location? Can buildings be free of all social, geographical, and cultural influences, without running the risk of being arbitrary and replaceable, thereby losing substantial architectural quality? The publication Open House 2 is dedicated to these and other related socio-political questions, showing the range of relationships that can be created between people and their surroundings through architecture, in order to improve the quality of life. Based on examples of various building typologies such as residential housing, public buildings, and public space, this book presents design criteria for a new architecture and possibilities for realizing them. Buildings by Junya Ishigami, De Vylder Vinck Taillieu, Brandlhuber+, Snøhetta, TYIN tegnestue Architects and many others are exemplary as regards this "open house" architecture. The detailed analyses provide a range of suggestions and stimuli for one's own plans.
