Founded by partners Hani Rashid and Lise Anne Couture, Asymptote Architecture is a New York based firm whose work has gained professional recognition both in the United States and abroad. Couture and Rashid have brought innovation to their field by challenging the boundaries of their discipline and exploring the potential of new technologies.
The work of Asymptote includes architectural design at all scales: furniture, interior, building and urban design but also extends beyond these into the realms of digital environments and installations.
Current and recent building projects by Asymptote include a 280,000 sq. ft high-tech facility in San Francisco; the award winning Univers Theater, a 30,000 sq. ft. multimedia theater structure constructed in Denmark, a multimedia research facility in Kyoto, Japan, the prize winning pavillion for the Floriade in Amsterdam and the Guggenheim Center for Art and Technology in New York.
Asymptote is also working at the forefront of the design of interactive architectural environments intended for the space of the computer.
The Virtual Trading Floor for the New York Stock Exchange and the Guggenheim Virtual Museum are fully navigable interactive multi-dimensional architectural environments.
Asymptote has received acclaim for several of their art scaled projects, which range from large public works to smaller gallery installations. Asymptote's projects have been widely exhibited and are included in the collections of the several museums.
