Urban-Think
Tank (U-TT) is an Interdisciplinary Design Studio and its founder architects
Alfredo Brillembourg and Hubert Klumpner are specialized strategic planners.
U-TT, founded in 1998 in Caracas (Venezuela), focuses on the field work
practice which comprises the detailed analysis of the urban situations,
particularly the social and economic connections of Favelas to the city. Their
research leads to practical applications for special urban conditions and
conceptual approaches, aiming at the cooperation of the planned and the
informal parts of the city. The teaching period in Columbia University, New
York, the first international exhibitions and the publications contributed to
the activities and researches of U-TT to achieve a global scale. Their
extensive study on Torre David in Caracas and its exhibition "Torre David
/ Gran Horizonte" in the Architecture Biennale in Venice in 2012 brought
U-TT the Golden Lion Award. The exhibition "Sí / No: The Architecture of
Urban-Think Tank" shows seventeen examples of multi-dimensional research
approaches, analysis' and development studies in informal housing all over the
world, provoking questions and the completed projects.
