Injecting concrete into balloons and arranging them in a mould, a perfectly fitting set of bricks is cast. While walking the streets in Naples we noticed an old arch - later identified as Arco Borbonico - holding up a stone seawall. Washed by the waves, the material around each stone had softened up, becoming round and cartoon-like. It was a rational object that became decorative, almost comical. It got stuck in our heads as the representation of an unintentional piece of progressive architecture.
