Fourth Edition 2013-2014
TYIN tegnestue Architects was founded in 2008 by Yashar Hanstad (1982)and Andreas Grøntvedt Gjertsen (1981), when they were studying architecture at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim. The young office completed a series of global projects, from the Thai-Burmese border to the forests of Sumatra. In later years TYIN have focused on projects on their native soil of Norway, while also giving lectures at universities around the world and working as teachers at NTNU. In spite of its relative youth, the office have met with different cultures and worked under challenging circumstances in areas of conflict and poverty.
TYIN emphasize a fluid and open process, where architecture becomes capable of pragmatism, and design and construction go hand in hand. Simplicity in details and an architecture that allows for user influence is a core value of the office, as well as the architect’s involvement through the entirety of the construction process. TYIN have won several awards for their projects over the latter years, among these the European Prize for Architecture and the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture. They have also been nominated for Mies van der Rohe and Aga Khan Award.
