Notes:
"Public, vibe, flow, connect, dream"--Portfolio
"The world is changing. Shifting social patterns are creating a new sense of public space. Innovative technology is enabling us to be more connected than ever before. Rampant individualism is fuelling fantasy worlds and crowd events. Dwindling resources are triggering a search for ecological balance and sustainability. The buildings that house, surround and accommodate these changes still carry 19th-century nametags: railway station, department store, museum, concert hall, warehouse. Yet, their meaning has radically changed."--Portfolio
Each volume unfolds to form a poster.
