Bringing architectural ideas into the gallery frequently seems to result in one, or all, of three things: miniature reconstructions, scale models under glass, or photographs lined up along the walls―none of it terribly satisfying or visceral. Architecture, after all, is about buildings, and buildings simply have to be seen and walked through. Fortunately, none of this happens when the NTT Intercommunication Center brings works by architectural group Coop Himmelb(l)au into its space. But then, what happens isn’t quite architecture either.
