UNBUILD is neither unfinished work nor unrealized projects — it is architecture as a form of pure and autonomous thought, before it is absorbed into systems of utility, efficiency, function, or correctness. From an international open call for practices within three years of graduation, nine selected exhibitors built their proposals as walkable worlds in a dedicated MEs space, reviewed by a jury of Akira Wakita, Rebecca Merlic, Kisaki Matsumoto, and a_haru.
