...ruins of order as the definition of place and belonging change forever. “Perestroika” begins with a rigidly demarcated world in which we know where everyone belongs—Mormons in Utah, gays in New York City.

(One of their projects, the Blur Building, on a Swiss lake, was a "pavilion" that was mostly a fog of water vapor.) But over the past few years, they've proved that unconventional ideas can have solid, satisfying consequences.
