Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The work of the office for subversive architecture (osa) 'crosses boundaries by thinking beyond, or further than others'. For the office's <bold>Ulrich Beckefeld and Karsten Huneck</bold>, transgression is both a conceptual and practical tool. For the work to communicate effectively, it has to stretch expectations and question norms. The urban public spaces within which they intervene are also the most tightly controlled areas of any city, which requires a subtle but pragmatic disregard for regulations.</p> </abstract>
