FAT Architecture

FAT Architecture (or Fashion Architecture Taste) is an architecture studio based in Britain. The firm, which was established in the 1990’s, is currently headed by Sean Griffith, Charles Holland, and Sam Jacob. I can only describe their aesthetic, at least for the projects I enjoyed, as being colorful, playful, and highly ornamented: a hyper ‘Post-Modernism’. In an interview with Phaidon, Charles Holland described one of FAT’s recent projects, the Bentley Library, as exploring “contradictory styles and reference points, which get mixed up,overlaid and changed as they meet each other.”
