“Giving Shelter” 2016 - String Theory

The Architects for Animals benefit returned to the Herman Miller Showroom in Culver City to showcase creative and functional outdoor cat shelters that were built and donated by some of LA’s top design firms. The shelter done for RNL took around 50 (after)hours to design/build and cost under $200. 

And for those that want something a little more conceptually stimulating:
With String Theory, kitty acts a particle that jumps and slides between various planes and por-tails. A seemingly 2D elevation is disrupted by winding vertical and horizontal paths which we observe, as if looking through a double sided photograph.
