The new structures digitally built through experimentation are probably a good take at what a folks’ cathedral could look like nowadays. You can view more of these on the artist’s website, on the page dedicated to the project. The digital […]

Studio AKB, based in Toronto in Canada, made a little open library for the people of the town of Newmarket.
