Can a facade lie, exaggerate, or play? PLAYFORM reimagines postmodern architecture as performance, taking No.1 Poultry as both as inspiration and stage. At its reception, this building was considered riotous, flamboyant, and controversial. In this exhibition, its bold geometry and layered references become a starting point to explore how architecture can speak, deceive and provoke in unconventional ways.
