Can a building perform meaning? Can a façade lie, exaggerate, or play? Can a Building Perform? reimagines postmodern architecture as performance, taking No.1 Poultry as both inspiration and stage. When it first opened, this building was hailed as riotous, flamboyant, and controversial. In this exhibition, its bold geometry and layered references serve as a starting point to explore how architecture can speak, deceive, and provoke in unexpected ways.
