 Hani Rashid and Lise Anne Couture are the principals of Asymptote Architecture, an award-winning New York-based design firm. Hani Rashid received a Master of Architecture from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in 1985. Since 1989 he has been a professor at the Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture. He has been leading architectural research and experimentation with respect to digital technologies since the inception of the School’s Advanced Digital Design program. A book dedicated to his research will be published in late 1999. Lise Anne Couture received her Master of Architecture degree from Yale University in 1986. She currently teaches at the Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture as well as at Parsons School of Design where she has been a professor in the Department of Architecture since 1990. Asymptote’s work is at the forefront of the design of interactive three dimensional architectural environments intended for the space of the computer. Their commissions include the Guggenheim Virtual Museum and their design of a virtual environment for the New York Stock Exchange. Asymptote has also been commissioned for a new Advanced Command Center on the NYSE trading floor. This space will not only display their virtual project on a large scale for Operations’ purposes but will also become a new backdrop for media reporting from the Exchange floor.
