Love Steven Holl's intervention in the stairwell at NYU's Philosophy Department - an exploration in porosity.

Considering that Supersudaka calls this the Kiltro House - referring to a crossbred dog - due to the "bastardized design", thanks to the changing program, site, building permits, contractors, and even the view, I'd say it's a pretty cohesive project!
The modus operandi is rather based on mistakes than certainties.

The result: a mix, a bastardized design, a fusion, like a crossbreed dog, in Chilean:
A Kiltro.

Love this screenprint by Aya Kakeda from her Blue Bird series.

Imegadito's felt Pot Covers dress up your house plants and protect your furniture from scratches.
