This Amsterdam firm is a network of specialists in architecture, urban development and infrastructure.
Architecture arts and abstract sculpture are combined here to create this monumental very functional buildings. The process before the final result is developed as art as an sculpture. In UN Studio i think they at first come up with very simple ideas, things you have in mind. It is evident the artist nature of this projects.
They have this complex unique artistic treatment, that way they can end up with forms that you can sink in, which are never boring rather they are so many ways of understanding it. The whole building becomes Architecture.
There is also a thing to mention is the function of the building goes in direct relation with the type of forms and art they used, the relation is so accurate that even makes the construction or building work better.
Although the result in UN Studio is spectacular i am amazed by the process, simple ideas turn in to artistic and functional buildings, it is indeed a excellent example of what the point of the blog is.

De acuerdo, Renzo, Calatrava excelente arquitecto pero mi perspectiva de sus obras se basa en una vision de las mismas en su dimension urbana, en la forma como se insertan en el contexto de la ciudad y aportan a la vida de sus habitantes. El problema que encuentro, no con su propuesta estetica sino con su manejo del problema funcional urbano, es precisamente el titulo de este post: "Sculpture Architecture"... arquitectura que honra el ars gratia artis y se constituye en un objeto escultorico de gran belleza, que deja de lado el pilar vitruviano del Utilitas.
