PUMPKITECTURE

Nailed It / Punk King / PUNK-IN

Is it possible to do more with less? As Leonardo da Vinci said, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." Through object-based operations like painting, poking, nailing, gluing, and threading—and by employing strategies such as multiplication, repetition, and variation—we align and combine objects to create a tessellated mesh. By offsetting this skin, we achieve an absolute geometry.

These operations are iterations of fundamental and mechanical processes, echoing LOT-EK's ethos of hyper-industrialization, yet executed on a smaller, handmade scale. Our approach earned us an invitation to an architectural competition to design a pumpkin for Halloween—and we won!
