Studio Other Spaces

Studio Other Spaces (SOS) was founded by artist Olafur Eliasson and architect Sebastian Behmann in Berlin in 2014[1] . The studio works on experimental building projects and artworks for public space.[2]

History

Studio Other Spaces emerged from the long-term creative collaboration of Eliasson and Behmann at Studio Olafur Eliasson, which reaches back to 2001 .[3] 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)’[4] in Vejle, Denmark (2009–2018).
