Coinciding with the publication of the fourth volume of the AA_Art and Architecture MUSAC Collection, a specific facility designed by TYIN Tegnestue for the Showcase Project of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Castilla y Leon.

The MUSAC Showcase Project will host until February 7 an installation specifically designed by the Norwegian architectural TYIN Tegnestue formed by Andreas G. Gjertsen and Yashar Hanstad. The two young architects have traveled the world reaching conflict areas on the border between Thailand and Burma, the favelas of Bangkok or the jungles of Sumatra. After several years working outside the confines of conventional architecture have returned to his native Norway where they will have to put into practice what they have learned until now.

The aim of this small exhibition is to show some relevant projects TYIN in Southeast Asia and more recent in Norway. Through these projects we can see the four fundamental values ​​of their practice: the material, detail, structure and the human factor. These concepts are embodied in handicrafts, recycling, experimentation with new materials and a more practical and logical simplicity, presented in the Showcase Project of MUSAC where experimentation carried out with simple materials during their experience as architects has been compiled to create a collage of vertical stripes on the wall. Through some windows in this wall we can find models, sketches, photographs and drawings of the selected projects creating a space that recalls the aesthetic of the "Old Market Library" realized in Bangkok in 2009.

The fourth edition of the series MUSAC AA_Art and Architecture, dedicated to the Norwegian study, collects essays by five professionals from the world of art and architecture to try to deepen on a new way of doing architecture, based on fundamental values ​​related to the architectural craftsmanship, aesthetics, sustainability and social responsibility.
