Booth design concept was created by Jonathan Gonzales of Office GA, a Miami-based design and fabrication practice where space, graphic, product, and brand design operate cross-scale, unconstrained by traditional roles. Form, program, and user experience become tools to engage the concerns of the contemporary city, contemporary architecture, and ultimately the contemporary citizen. Lifestyle, economy, fashion, and brand must be developed through careful analysis and playful implementation. Office GA concerns itself with developing new “architectures” through the urban condition; Researching the relationship between object and citizen and the forms that bring life and viability to those encounters.
