This project was fostered by the Lab Cab Festival 2014 of Parkdale. The Architecture of Us began as a choreographic experiment, taking the standard creation space to a public setting. This allowed the dancers to experience and be influenced by the built world—encountering busy, sacred, and quiet buildings. Lois Schklar's sculptural wire work acted as the stunning set and a shadowy inspiration.

The Architecture of Us featured allie higgins, Jess Ford, Samantha Farruggio, Jen Barrett, Marisa Ricci, Zahra Vassell, with text by allie higgins, and choreography by Lauren Runions.
