Studio Other Spaces (SOS) was founded by artist Olafur Eliasson and architect Sebastian Behmann in Berlin in 2014. [1] The studio works on interdisciplinary and experimental building projects and artworks for public space. [2] Eliasson and Behmann's partnership offers a platform for art and architecture to intersect and enrich each other.
Studio Other Space's research includes historical, ecological, social, and emotional parameters of a particular site and its users. Their work connects craftsmanship with material innovation and new technologies. [3]
Studio Other Spaces emerged from the long-term creative collaboration of Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson (b. 1967) and German architect Sebastian Behmann (b. 1969) at Studio Olafur Eliasson, which reaches back to 2001. [4] As the studio's Head of Design, Behmann has worked with Eliasson to create and install several artworks such as ‘The weather project’, 2003, which has been described as "a milestone in contemporary art", [5] in the Turbine Hall of Tate Modern, London. Together, the two have worked on numerous architectural projects, including various pavilions; ‘Your rainbow panorama’ (2011) for the ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum, Denmark; the façade design of Harpa – Reykjavik Concert Hall and Conference Centre, developed by Studio Olafur Eliasson in collaboration with Henning Larsen Architects; ‘Cirkelbroen (The circle bridge)’ in Copenhagen, 2015; and ‘Fjordenhus (Fjord house)’ in Vejle, Denmark (2009–2018).
