MASSIMALS SCHMASHIMALS

"Massimals are 1:1 design objects that serve as prototypes to examine how physical form can engage the public realm. These constructs are mass abstractions of animal forms fabricated in systematic fashion from one material. The suggestive forms and their specific arrangement imply docile behavior similar to animals in a petting zoo augmenting the way visitors approach and engage built form."
Design Office Takebayashi Scroggin 

Translation: "This is a polar bear made of plastic zip-ties. And it's pretty amazing."
