Studio Other Spaces (SOS) was founded by artist Olafur Eliasson and architect Sebastian Behmann in Berlin in 2014. Their shared interest in spatial experimentation led them to the holistic approach that defines Studio Other Spaces. In their work, they continuously move between overall perspectives and on a highly detail-oriented level, exploring all aspects of a project through each stage of development – from before its inception, to its life or reuse. SOS projects foreground the atmospheric and intangible qualities of their specific locations; approach materiality through research and experimentation; and emphasise physical movement as a means to shape space. Rather than focusing on the design of isolated structures, Studio Other Spaces precisely choreographs environments that invite visitors to reflect on how they connect with their immediate surroundings.
