What About a Pin-Up of Pure Hardcorism?
WAI has been featured in Pin-Up Magazine
The fall/ winter issue of the magazine for architectural entertainment Pin-Up features a review of WAI's manifesto of pure form in architecture. Stephan Froese introduces WAI directors "Nathalie Frankowski from France and Cruz Garcia from Puerto Rico are young Beijing-based architects who aren't afraid of making loud statements and taking on architecture's old guard" and then dissects Pure Hardcorism in what he calls an exhibition of "bravado that boldly walks the line between an ambiguously tongue-in-cheek polemic and a delirious architectural gospel".
For more of the review find the 13th issue of Pin-Up Magazine in your favorite bookshop or order the magazine here.
