The Museum of Contemporary Art of Castilla y Leon, MUSAC organizes the Showcase Project with a specific installation for the occasion by TYIN tegnestue , Norwegian architectural office, winner of the European Award for Architecture and the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture in 2012. At the moment TYIN are developing educational activities based on practice in the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, while organizing conferences, exhibitions and workshops around the world.
The aim of the exhibition is to show some relevant projects by TYIN tegnestue in Southeast Asia and some more recent ones in Norway. With these projects the four fundamental values of their practice can be seen: the material, the detail, the structure and the human factor. These concepts are embodied in handicrafts, recycling, experimentation with new materials and a more practical and logical simplicity.
Founded in 2008 by Andreas G. Gjertsen and Yashar Hanstad, TYIN Tegnestue have developed most of their work in disadvantaged areas around the world, responding to major challenges that require an architecture in which all elements have a practical purpose. TYIN Tegnestue's work reacts to the immediate social issues in the same way as the art committed to the community, with respect to the core values of sustainability, economy and connection to the culture, philosophy and vision of a nation.
