Swiss architect Gus Wüstemann defines his design approach as “program-free architecture,” in which “everything that contaminates the space with a program disappears.”

Completion Date: March 2010 Owner: Jeff Herdzina, US DATA Corporation Program: A 5,000-square-foot office for an online data company, with a café, conference room, and gaming lounge. Design concept and solution: The architects wanted to convey the client's technological identity while boosting the office's already close-knit atmosphere.

Completion Date: November 2009 Owner: Denver Art Museum Program: A 4,936-square-foot shop in the lobby of the museum's Daniel Libeskind–designed building.

But in the decades since Soviet rule, the Uzbek government has redeveloped the area with an eye toward bringing traditional ornamentation back to the city’s architecture while creating a sophisticated capital that embraces an international brand of contemporary design.
