Our competition entries and proposals are investigations in the use of fictional narrative and popular symbolism to make buildings more accessible and enjoyable to the general public. Houses with faces that talk to each other, water fountains that look like animals, and rocket ship housing towers interact to form evocative illustrations, leaving the "reader" to fill in the captions as he or she pleases. Our objects tend to look like creatures, alive and roaming around the page. They reference animals, tropical plants, and everyday popular imagery. We strive to imbue each proposal with a sense of fantasy and playfulness that carries through to our built work. Through these abstractions, we are able to communicate our ideas about the nature of society and human interaction in their most potent form.
