Fashion Architecture Taste (FAT)

What does it mean to be an emerging design professional in a global culture? From this project and the works of others (a-f) it is clear that architecture/design can be about attitude rather than style. The embodied playfulness is evident in both process and built reality; affording a level of transferability that is inclusive and malleable while retaining a certain edgy quality. The emerging design work from these offices evolves the spirit of modernism and is unapologetically thoughtful.
