Tyin tegnestue Architects

摘要

Founded by Andreas Gjertsen (Trondheim, Norway, 1981) and Yashar Hanstad (Teheran, Iran, 1982), Tyin is an architecture studio based in Trondheim, Norway that has been socially engaged since its debut in 2008. At the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale, they were the only Scandinavian architects selected by Alejandro Aravena, the curator of "Reporting from the Front". Working in close relationship with local communities and future users, a good number of Tyin's early projects were developed as part of humanitarian initiatives in the Far East. After careful preliminary scouting of the local context, the Klong Toey Community Lantern playground (Bangkok, Thailand, 2011) and the Cassia Co-Op Training Centre (2011), an ethical school for local farmers located near Lake Kerinci in Sumatra, Indonesia were built in collaboration with students from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, where both Gjertsen and Hanstad teach.
