UNStudio seeks to make a significant contribution to the discipline of architecture, to continue to develop our qualities with respect to design, technology, knowledge and management and to be a specialist in public network projects. We see as mutually sustaining the environment, market demands and client wishes that enable our work, and we aim for results in which our goals and our client's goals overlap. The outcome of their self-defined goals are apparent in dynamic buildings like Five Franklin Place, a residential building completed in 2007 in New York's TriBeCa neighborhood, which expresses a nuanced conceptual and technical complexity and confidence while also providing a must-see architectural experience. This volume reveals UNStudio's process, in which a sense of place is seamlessly integrated with aesthetic and conceptual considerations.
