From September 19th, MUSAC’s Showcase Project will be dedicated to the Norwegian architectural studio TYIN Tegnestue, on occasion of the publication of the fourth volume of the MUSAC Collection Arts & Architecture dedicated to the same architects.

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.

TYIN tegnestue Architects (Andreas G. Gjertsen, Yashar Hanstad) was established in 2008 and has built projects in poor and underdeveloped areas of Thailand, Uganda and Sumatra. Solutions to fundamental challenges call for an architecture where everything serves a purpose, an architecture that follows necessity.

By involving the local populace actively in both the design and building of their projects, TYIN are able to establish a framework for mutual exchange of knowledge and skills. All materials used in TYIN´s projects are collected close to the sites or purchased from local merchants.

The studio is currently run by Andreas G. Gjertsen and Yashar Hanstad, and has its headquarters in the Norwegian city of Trondheim. TYIN has won several international awards and their projects have been published and exhibited worldwide.
