Sylvia Lavin introduces Amy Landesberg and Lisa Quatrale of Liquid Inc. by explaining the appropriateness of the firm name to their design and business practices. Liquid Inc. challenges hierarchies within business models, as well as the images of material, psychological and social solids. They wish to incorporate business practices, and incorporate subjects to objects, and building to bodies.

Lisa Quatrale and Amy Landesberg explain their ambition to create work that is emotive and tactile. Within their projects they seek to combine properties of liquefaction, ornamental structure, fluidity, eroticism, and instability. In My Eye Myopia, they explore the degeneration of the eye, especially the loss of the ability to see the larger picture. Other work explores the link between the eye and the complex window, the eyes found within modesty screens, and the qualities of liquids.

Landesberg and Quatrale discuss their contributions to the Olympic Dream Project in Atlanta, Georgia. The series of homes proposed and constructed were intended to serve as a modesty screen between a troubled neighborhood/parking lot and the Olympic stadium. By means of the project Bows & Beaus, they sought to explore “veluptuousness” in barriers. Through exploration of materiality and technique, tactility and architecture, they found feminine qualities. While “tying the knot” is a sign of ultimate affection, excess beyond the knot is necessary for structural stability. Their project sought to legitimize itself, as a child seeks legitimacy, through challenging of hierarchical norms. The Adam’s Eyeball retirement home project, incorporates elements of liquefaction and eye characteristics and relationships between the building and its surroundings.
