Information Based Architecture
Information Based Architecture (IBA) was set up in London in 1998 as a partnership between architects Mark Hemel and Barbara Kuit. The practice specializes in architecture, urbanism and design, and was short listed in 2002 for the Young Architects of the Year Award in the United Kingdom. In 2002 and 2003 the office received a research grant from the Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts, Design and Architecture.
Currently based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, IBA continues its work on both large and small projects in Europe and Asia. The work includes urban master-planning and studies, architecture, landscaping and furniture design.
Mark Hemel teaches at the Architectural Association in London where he has been Unit-master since 1999. Before setting up practice, Barbara Kuit worked as a local architect on projects of Philippe Starck in London; the Sanderson and St Martin's Lane hotels, and subsequently worked at the office of Zaha Hadid for several years on many projects among which; the Mind Zone in the Millennium Dome, the Contemporary Arts Center in Rome and Wolfsburg Science Center.
