Goulding Summerhouse Scott Tallon Walker Architects

Originally designed for Sir Basil Goulding, a great gardener and art collector; He was so concerned about his beautiful gardens along the Dargle Valley that he wanted the new building to take up as little of the garden as possible. The resulting design cantilevered over the river, and is supported on the only rock outcrop available without disturbing the natural vegetation of the river gorge.

Synth Series Toki

Toluwalase Rufai and Khai Grubbs are two recent architecture graduates who joined together to form Toki, an art collective based in the Washington, D.C. area. The duo creates installations that aim to temporarily modify the perception you feel when standing in a public space via rhythm, movement, transparency, and ephemerality. The three-dimensional works engage viewers letting them experience the work on their own. The Synth Series begins with a colorful creation, made from yarn, that represents the sounds of music in a physical form.
