Exquisite Corpse

“…the game became a system, a method of research, a means of exaltation as well as stimulation, and even, perhaps, a kind of drug…” 

Simone Kahn, surrealist poet

 

 

The Exquisite Corpse combines different ideas into one composition.  It was created by surrealists in the early 20th century as a collaborative drawing game, where each artist drew a third of a body, folding and hiding the previous parts.  

 

 

 

At Linked, we use this to bring together separate projects and explore unexpected connections.  By exposing these hidden links we want to help better understand the relationships between architecture & place, design & client, language & details.

Our portfolio includes 50 projects across 20 countries and four continents, teaming up with the offices of David Varnish Architects (DVA), Mihai Radu Architects (MRA), and Buro Koray Duman (BKD) in roles such as Project Architect, Project Manager, and Project Lead.

 

We have also engaged in 50 other projects. Some were carried out as directors at +farm, The Adams, and founding partner of OD Office. Some were completed independently or in collaboration with other offices, architects, and designers.
