	Asymptote Architects - Guggenheim Virtual Museum :: arcspace.com
		The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum has commissioned the New York firm Asymptote Architects to design and implement a new Guggenheim Museum in cyberspace.
		This is the first phase of a three-year initiative to construct an entirely new museum facility.
		As envisioned by Asymptote and the Guggenheim, the Guggenheim Virtual Museum will emerge from the fusion of information space, art, commerce, and architecture to become the first important virtual building of the 21st century.

		Asymptote (Hani Rashid and Lise Anne Couture) are the architects overseeing the design of the 9th International Architecture Exhibition - METAMORPH of La Biennale di Venezia.
		Asymptote has transformed the Corderie into a modulating spatial construct utilizing morphing animation sequences and 'key-framing' to create a procession of architectural interventions that accommodate over 200 architects models, drawings, animations and building prototypes.
		Presently Asymptote is involved in a number of important projects including the design of the 9th International Architecture Exhibition - Metamorph and a new theater venue for the Hans Christian Andersen Festival in Odense, Denmark.

		Asymptote conceived of the environmental design for the Metamorph exhibition, which occupies the Corderie dell’Arsenale (left).
		Like most of the projects in the show, however, Asymptote’s ribs demonstrate a lack of interest in constructional or structural determinants, approaching form as something that could be grown rather than built.
		As Hani Rashid, principal of Asymptote and spokesman for a new generation of digital designers put it, “With the aid of computing a newly evolved architecture is emerging.

		Hani Rashid of Asymptote says: "Our brief was to create a permanent work of architecture for the fast growing town of Haarlemmermeer, forming a kind of modern-day 'port of urbanism' in Europe, a place dominated by the surreal culture of Schiphol airport.
		The architects confirm that the structural strength of laminated glass enabled the design to be completed without the heavy use of mullions or frames.
		Asymptote says that one of their design goals was to create "a texture mapping, as the water cascades over the glass canopy, leaving a beautiful trace below of light and shadows somewhere between real and digital."

		Asymptote, a husband-and-wife team of architects in New York City, has spent more than a decade grappling with that question and in the process has become recognized as a master of high-wire acts of digital architecture.
		For Asymptote — otherwise known as Hani Rashid, 45, and Lise Anne Couture, 44 — the ultimate challenge is connecting the digital world to the one we actually live in.
		One thing Asymptote has not developed is a recognizable style, although it's fluid in most of the current "isms." It toyed with deconstructivism in early designs, such as the steel cloud Rashid proposed as a gateway for Los Angeles in 1988.

		Designed and written by the partners, Asymptote is the first book to fully document their "real world" (as opposed to virtual) projects.In mathematical terms, the word "asymptote" is defined as a line that a given curve gets closer and closer to, but never touches, as it gets further from the origin towards infinity.

		For Asymptote the space of exhibition reinterpreted as a place for experimentation is crucial for research and envisioning architectural futures and possibilities.
		Asymptote's transformation of the Cordiere in particular was predicted on a modulating spacial sequence developed by producing a morphing animation involving the actions of torquing and 'stringing' the entire space.
		Asymptotes' seamless integration of architecture, installation, multimedia, graphic design and exhibition design form a spatially integrated back-drop to the Metamorph theme, making explicit a condition of variance, affinities and flux.

		Asymptote's complete engagement in the exhibition -from installation and exhibition design to graphic identity and catalogue design (with Omnivore)- provides for a seamless experience and a spatially cohesive backdrop to the curator's theme METAMORPH.
		Especially striking and engaging is Asymptote's complete transformation of the enfilade of longitudinal spaces in the Arsenale into a modulating terrain on which over 220 projects are exhibited with models, drawings and video installations.
		To show this flux two things were required: Kurt's complicated and thorough curiosity and Asymptote's ability to play along spatial and technological lines, yielding an exhibition of extraordinary breadth, perplexity.

	Guggenheim Museum - Virtual Museum
		For Asymptote, this important new work highlights their ongoing interest in merging technological possibilities with spatial manufacture, experience, and event.
		When speaking of an architecture for the next millennium there are two conditions to consider the physical space of architecture as we have always known it where enclosure, form and permanence will undoubtedly persevere, and the realm of virtual architecture, now emerging from the digital domain of the Internet.
		In addition, the virtual museum is an ideal space for the deployment and experience of art and events created specifically for the interactive digital medium where simultaneous participation, as well as viewing is made possible for an audience distributed around the globe.

		Since the NYSE had been developing a strategy for dealing with the ever-increasing complexity of managing their data and information, they asked Asymptote to develop a virtual environment that would facilitate the reading, correlation, and navigation of massive amounts of information.
		The project posed an interesting opportunity to reconsider the "reality" of the actual trading floor: Asymptote's 3DTF version of the trading floor, although virtual and not intended to be constructed outside of a computer environment, is effectively a direction for possible future trading environments.
		The installation in Documneta XI is a continuation of the FluxSpace projects previously enacted by Asymptote at the CCAC in San Francisco, the Venice Biennale 2000 and at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia in 2002.
