Vorm de Stad Competitors

Founded in 1988 by Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos, UNStudio specialises in creating ground-breaking architecture and design at all scales, from bridges to public buildings, offices, residences, exhibitions, products and urban masterplans. The name UNStudio stands for United Network Studio and refers to the collaborative nature of the practice. Throughout 30 years of international project experience, UNStudio has expanded its capabilities through collaboration with an extended network of international consultants, partners and advisors. This network, combined with our centrally located offices in Amsterdam, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Dubai and Melbourne, enables us to work efficiently anywhere in the world. With over 120 completed projects in Asia, Europe and North America, the studio continues to expand its global presence with recent commissions in the United Arab Emirates, China, South Korea, Italy, Germany and the United States, among other countries.

Wij zijn INBO. De ontwerpers die mensen centraal durven te zetten. Zo betrekken we gebruikers graag bij ons werk. Zij weten namelijk écht wat ze nodig hebben. We vragen, onderzoeken en ontwikkelen. Wat we bedenken, bouwen we ook. Ons doel is om buurten socialer en gezonder te maken. Daarom ontwerpen we plekken waar mens, stad en natuur elkaar ontmoeten: ruimtes om je thuis te voelen. Ruimte voor mensen.

De Zwarte Hond is a design bureau for architecture, urbanism and strategy. We have offices in Groningen, Rotterdam, Cologne and Berlin that employ about 120 professionals. We add quality to the built environment by combining urban design and architecture. We effectively assess what adds value and enhances the quality of life for people, the street, the neighbourhood, the city and the region. We are fully committed to our designs, and we also assume responsibility for their realisation. The end product must be just as ambitious and beautiful as the first proposals.
