...thing Asymptote has not developed is a recognizable style, although it's fluid in most of the current "isms." It toyed with deconstructivism in early designs, such as the steel cloud Rashid proposed as a gateway for Los Angeles in 1988. (The cloud registers the heaviness of the traffic and converts it into music.) The firm has also flirted with folded geometry, designing a store interior for Brazilian fashion designer Carlos Miele in New York City that's both chunky and smooth, as if carved out of ice that's melting and setting the clothes afloat...

It exists in two states: plus and minus (terms he coined, along with positive and negative, battery and conductor). Furthermore, he said, if there is an excess of charge in one conductor, it must be precisely balanced...
