Table table

 

Comic for the inaugural issue of POOL, the architectural magazine of UCLA Architecture and Urban design, published June 2016.  

From POOL call for submissions:

β€œThe table is the essential extension of architecture, scaled between room and body, it is the hearth we never occupy, the incubator of dialogue, the basic strata of production.  Ideas flow over it, while dealings creep their way under.  Dutifully standing witness, the table jacks-up activity from the floor, defining the terms of exchange and framing the strategies and labors that shape society.”
