The shell of a building conceals misbehaving architectural elements. camouflaging in an urban context, the windows puncturing the shell copy its neighbors. acting as a portal, the facade mediates between the everyday and the realm of fantasy. Roots growing below the ground metamorphose into a column and finally an air duct when it touches the exterior surface. A twinkling, celestial ceiling is achieved through perforations in the roof. Architectural elements compose a living form with unexpected material and experiential qualities. thorns growing from a trunk transform into a balustrade; the balustrade folds onto itself and becomes a ladder. shingles cascade along a ceiling, wall and floor. from the outside, these devices are hidden in the details. Participants discover architectural building elements intertwining, switching roles and performing in unexpected ways. The building is a dynamic environment that questions the familiar, static world of architecture.
