Specific Objects is a New York‐based interdisciplinary design practice. Rhett Russo , one of its directors, is developing architectural assemblies that are informed by the specific properties of ceramics, how these traits become encrypted through technology, and at what cost. Drawing on the philosophical writings of Tristan Garcia, Bernard Stiegler and Graham Harman, the art of Jiří Kolář and a competition design by his own firm, he explores ways that the peculiar nature of objects initiate new workflows.
