BUREAU SPECTACULAR

BUREAU SPECTACULAR BUREAU SPECTACULAR imagines other worlds and engages the design of architecture through telling stories.

Beautiful stories about character development, relationships, curiosities and attitudes; absurd stories about fake realities that invite enticing possibilities. The stories conflate design, representation, theory, criticism, history and taste into cartoon pages. These cartoon narratives swerve into the physical world through architectural installations, models and small buildings. BUREAU SPECTACUL

AR is an operation of architectural affairs founded and led by Jimenez Lai since 2008. It is based in Chicago and closely affiliated to the Midwest Mafia of Architecture Schools.
