Rooms Built for Make-Believe
What counts as architecture when the thing that stops someone is not a grand facade, but a swing painted into the sky? Across these scenes, the built world keeps making room for creatures, games and a little theatricality.
20 catches
Made from 20 catches, November 2024 to August 2026.

The brick-built model, wall-mounted shark and block-built play area push that idea furthest: construction is not background here, it is the attraction.

What stays across these catches is architecture that asks to be played with, photographed or stepped into, rather than simply passed by.
