Snarkitecture as an Open Practice
Author(s): Alexandra Khomenko
Founded in New York by architect Alex Mustonen and artist Daniel Arsham, Snarkitecture has grown as an open practice— a collaboration between disciplines that spills into the experimental and the playful. The result is a portfolio of installations, interiors and objects that open space for the unexpected. Co-founder Mustonen reflects on how a studio born from collaboration continues to grow through curiosity, questioning and testing what design can be when disciplines merge.

Union is for architecture, design and art that is experimental, conceptual and critical. We foreground the ideas behind the work that we platform — positioning it as process-driven research conducted by curious observers and courageous agitators who shape culture through the outcomes of their labour.
Publishing work across scale, typology and medium, union connects agendas expressed though spatial practice. We collate information, develop articles, interviews and videos, curate exhibitions and coordinate initiatives that cultivate interdisciplinary cooperation.
Union is independently researched and edited to accurately reflect the rigour and complexity embedded in the work we represent. Union magazine examines a cross-section of architectural, artistic and design pursuits to provide a detailed print record of contemporary practice.
