Cyprus International University Hosts Award Winning Architect Caroline Bos

The Faculty of Fine Arts at Cyprus International University held a seminar featuring world-renowned Dutch architect Caroline Bos. Entitled ‘UNStudio Architecture of Experiment & Experience’, the event was part of the Faculty’s Spring Time Design Festival.

In her talk, Bos offered words of guidance to CIU’s aspiring architects, advising them that “the aim of architecture should be inspire people, to stimulate people to think about themselves, the world and their place in it, as well as to give an overall positive experience.”

The UNStudio, which stands for United Network Studio, was co-founded by Caroline Bos and her husband Ben van Berkel in 1988. Based in Amsterdam, they also have offices in Shanghai and most recently in Hong Kong. In addition to being a co-founder of UNStudio and its Principal Urban Planner, Caroline Bos is an Honorary Professor at the University of Melbourne’s Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning.

Bos told students that UNStudio was engaged in all aspects of architecture, including urban design and interior. Her talk, she added, aimed to offer students “a broad impression of what we are doing as well as hopefully an insight into why we’re doing it.”
