Four Futures

One question, four directions, all of them buildable — and none of them commissioned

The situation

An architecture studio's website is the one piece of work it cannot show you a drawing of. So here is one question — what should this studio's site be — answered four different ways, with all four built far enough to click through.

What actually happens

  1. You read the question the way the studio would have asked it.
  2. You see four directions, each taken far enough to click through.
  3. Each one says what it is trading away to get what it is going for.
  4. You decide which one you would have picked.

Where it stops

Nobody commissioned these. The honesty rules the write-up was made under bar invented social proof in those words — no testimonials, no client quotes, nothing implying the studio adopted any of it.
