By sizing up the complex frameworks and also natural features of these mushrooms, Hu00f6ller monumentalizes them in everyone room of Place Vendu00f4me.
His strategy to dividing as well as reassembling forms into new hybrid entities echoes his previous ventures, including the spatial departments in The Double Club and also the exemplified surface areas of Revolving Doors.
