Happy Winter: ABA contributes “Snowflake” to Fairy Tale Architecture

The Fairy Tale Architecture series curated by Kate and Andrew Bernheimer treats classic stories as frameworks for reimagining spatial experience. Instead of illustrating narratives, the project uses them as charged atmospheres—structures of desire, fear, transformation—that push architecture into more speculative territory. By pairing architects with specific tales, the series reveals how fiction can surface new logics for enclosure, sequence, and materiality. It shows architecture as an expanded field shaped by narrative intelligence, where form emerges from mood as much as function. Our paper forest inspired interpretation of Snowflake, a Russian fairy tale, is featured in Design Observer as part of the series.
