Most designers, architects and artists used perforation to create texture, lightness, dimension and play. From a perforated poster, to a perforated conceptcar, to a perforated facade to a perforated building. People slicing out inner parts of buildings as if emptying an apple from its core.

The body was omni present in hybrid constructions between gender, past and future, man and animal and man and design. The body as a chair.

Storytelling was another potent correlation between several designers.
