Partner, UNStudio
Astrid Piber is a Partner at UNStudio, in charge of several large-scale design projects globally. In projects such as the Arnhem master plan in the Netherlands and the Raffles City mixed-use development in Hangzhou, China, the interdependency of functional, economic, and future-proofing criteria has led to organizations that go beyond segregated typologies. Piber has worked with a trans-scalar approach—from large-scale mobility projects to custom-crafted interiors—where user experience adds value to design. Sophisticated placemaking strategies are part of this design approach, that is applied to urban mobility projects such as the redevelopment of Chamartín transport hub in Madrid and mixed-use projects that contribute through densification to cities like Singapore and Seoul in a healthy way.
