Carve the architecture in order to reveal the presence of daylight and to enlighten the interior.

Engage circulation and autonomous experience by creating a narrative of integrated daylight/electric lighting system.

Associated with programmatic activities, the design curate moments in light with its ever changing qualities as the sun

Other Primary Structures revisits the premise of and

builds upon the Museum’s seminal 1966 exhibition

Primary Structures, the first American

museum exhibition to survey the

style now known as Minimalism.

The exhibition revisits this formative moment

in art history while also reexamining the period

from today’s far more global perspective.

In recent years, we, as humans, have exploited earth, depleting

its resources with blatant disregard for what this means for future

generations. At some point, when we have gone too far, we will try

desperately to regain a connection with nature, with this earth that we

call home.

Here, in this AfterTaste world, we imagine a future in which nature is

elevated, nature is levitated, nature is puppeteered in a dire attempt

to regain a connection with it.

Two activity centers act as energy centers to disperse

and reconnect using lines inscribed into the architecture

to create perceptual imaginary planes. Composed of

strings, these planes direct the flow of circulation and guide

occupants to engage in different tasks and activities.
