Architect/artist Didier Faustino regards transgression as a means of survival for a service profession, such as architecture, which is effectively up for hire. By illustrating examples of his own work he argues that the lifeblood of practice must be transgression, challenging all established parameters in order to fulfill the brief and explore a disruptive and often disturbing in‐between space.
