About 工作室

Combining a host of experience from the worlds of architecture, academia and the arts, Solid Objectives - Idenburg Liu is a small office with a global reach. Founders Florian Idenburg and Jing Liu set up their Brooklyn-based studio in 2007 to be a creative catalyst, involved at all scales and all stages of the architectural process. Being rooted in the Europe, China and Japan – with these particular countries’ optimism in the feasibility of the architectural project – SO – IL vehemently believes in realizing their ideas in the world.

Recent projects include a house for designer Ivan Chermayeff in upstate New York, a shell-shaped wedding chapel in Nanjing, China, a museum for contemporary art near The Hague, the Netherlands, as well as a project space for Kukje Gallery in Seoul. SO – IL was finalist in an international competition for student housing in Athens Greece and is the 2010 winner in MoMA’s Young Architects Program to design an installation for the P.S.1 courtyard in Long Island City.

SO – IL has been featured in numerous publications including the NY Times, Wallpaper* and Surface. The work has been exhibited in institutions such as the Guggenheim Museum, MoMA, the LA Forum for Architecture and Urbanism and the Center for Architecture in New York.

Solid Objectives – Idenburg Liu是一个凝结了具有多元的建筑、学术、艺术背景和国际视野的小型事务所。创始人弗洛里安· 爱登伯格和刘静于2007年在纽约布鲁克林建立了其工作室并正式开启了SO-IL的创造性工作。带着欧洲、中国和日本乐观现实主义的建筑背景,SO-IL从事各种尺度和阶段的建筑实践,并执着的在现实世界里筑造他们的想法与设计。

近期项目包括设计师Ivan Chermayeff在纽约上州的一所私人住宅,位于中国南京的一个贝壳状婚礼教堂,位于荷兰海牙附近的一个当代艺术馆,和位于韩国首尔的一个艺术展览馆。SO-IL也入围了一个希腊雅典学生宿舍国际竞赛的前三名决赛圈,并赢得了2010美国当代艺术馆年轻建筑师设计竞赛(MoMA PS1)。他们于同年6月在纽约皇后区PS1的庭院里实现这个设计。

SO-IL已在包括NY Times(纽约时报),Wallpaper, Surface在内的多家杂志期刊上受到报道和关注。他们的作品也在许多研究机构进行展览,如纽约古根海姆博物馆,美国当代艺术馆,洛杉矶建筑和城市论坛以及纽约建筑中心等。
