Study Architecture 
ProPEL 
Author(s): Max Kuo
As Maison Domino anticipated, we are increasingly immersed in a world of bestpractices that seek efficiency and known quantities. If we are to engage themajority of buildings as (value) engineered units, can we look to other paradigmsoutside of tectonic exceptionalism? Perhaps architectural figuration and shapingcan provide a double-edged blade of both expediency and estrangement thathacks the generic underbrush in order to uncover the strange bedfellows ofaffordability, iconography, branding, and weird urbanism.
