Two people — the fusion

Baeza reflected minimal & clinical simplicity. Whereas, Archigram implemented a complex, radical, intricate and fragmented design philosophy.

The juxtaposition of these clashing ideals were explored in form by reversing their visual feel and implementing in various spatial explorations.
