So we began to think of it in 12-inch-high (or 24-inch-cube) sizes that would allow the pieces to, one, be able to be moved by one person and, two, when aggregated, have dimensions of furniture (12-inch stool, 24-inch seat and 36-inch-high counter). At the same time, we started to look at the pieces in multiple applications: as a wall unit and hanging from the ceiling. And then we jumped scale again and saw the assembly of pieces as building models.

In the case of the CC02 House, the spaces either have glass at the two open ends of the shape or are open as a covered outdoor space. So we were literally thinking about rooms outside. With the Chamber pieces, the blurring of inside and outside also extended to the ideas of where the pieces could be used. Working with ultra-high-performance concrete enabled us to design the pieces for interior and exterior use. As a result of this universal applicability, the pieces can be used as furniture, building blocks or landscape elements.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1456776804596f0cbd0763a4df644188e3aedc1486d0f.jpg?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1456776804596f0cbd0763a4df644188e3aedc1486d0f.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1456776804596f0cbd0763a4df644188e3aedc1486d0f.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1456776804596f0cbd0763a4df644188e3aedc1486d0f.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1456776804596f0cbd0763a4df644188e3aedc1486d0f.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1456776804596f0cbd0763a4df644188e3aedc1486d0f.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><i>Visual rendering for <\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/not-to-scale\/\">not to scale<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>What value do you see in architecture exhibitions such as \u201cUnpacking the Cube,\u201d which focus on the design process as opposed to the more traditional way of presenting directly representational models?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We think that the exhibition at Chamber is really interesting in that it is more open-ended and not about specific buildings, but about ways of thinking about and conceiving space.

Perhaps more importantly, they are the building blocks for how we begin to conceive of and assemble space and program and how that relates to a site or room.<\/p>\n<p>Chamber is a unique and interesting gallery that positions itself as a design gallery.
