A series of tongue-in-cheek design propositions

Trying to win a commission through open fee based tendering is difficult. As an emerging practice we recognised the need to set ourselves apart from the crowd and prepared a highly graphic submission; a document imbued with the energy and thinking of the design team.

Included in our tender document were a series of tongue-in-cheek design propositions for the project; a speculative pre-emptive strike.

Following in the long standing Sydney tradition collaborations with international artists, designers and architects, we teamed up with innovative Danish practice Bjarke Ingles Group [BIG].
