Bureau—Short Stories
Disclosed Architecture
A compilation of the transgressive work of architecture firm BUREAU. The practice operates at the intersection of architecture, scenography, design, landscape design, and education.
Their buildings and interventions feature spatial experiments, unusual shapes and perspectives, and play with the factor of time as well. BUREAU thus navigates across the traditional boundaries of architecture, design, visual art, architectural teaching, and cultural education.
