what are we doing?
The work.group is a shorthand acknowledgment of both the protean framework through which the members of the group scratch their marks and of the disparate body of artifacts which serve as contributions to the public domain. The work moves beyond traditionally singular office productions through a more viral practice of decentralized collaboration. The pregnant branches of the wrk.grp are manifold, representing the interests and specialties of the members, the multinodal structure of the inter- and extra-office communications, and the fostered coaxial interference of the surrounding community.

The work.group has offices in New York, Atlanta, and Philadelphia; the group has proposed projects in Arlingtonton, Remington, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Paris, and Manhattanville.

Any biologist can tell that our body’s cells are constantly dying and being replaced by new ones and every seven years we change the complete set of cells that means we change our body every seven years but this change is so gradual that it’s imperceptible. So, each of us has a number of “different” [...]

in the spring of 1861, two roommates, one for union and one for secession, unfortunately share a two bedroom house.
and the war came.
rather than break a lease and lose the deposit, each side must modify the dwelling so as to carry on the conflict, each praying to the same god, and each invoking his [...]
