2G / #93. SOS. Olafur Eliasson, Sebastian Behmann

The first monograph on the SOS studio founded by Olafur Eliasson and Sebastian Behmann presents some of their joint works as well as architectural works by Studio Olafur Eliasson. Studio Other Spaces (SOS) connects architecture and art through interdisciplinary and experimental building projects and artworks for public space. They use each project as a vehicle and tool to dive into topics, into locations, and into the intricate relationships between people and spaces. Featured works include the façades of the Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre in Reykjavik (Iceland, in collaboration with Henning Larsen Architects), the famous installation “Your rainbow panorama” at the Aarhus Kunstmuseum, Denmark, as well as recent joint works such as the Meles Zenawi Memorial Park, Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), the Vertical Panorama Pavilion in Sonoma (California) and the Cirkelbroen in Copenhagen.
