From 1999-2004 the MacArthur Foundation honored the firm's work with the 'genius' award, stating that they "have created an alternative form of architectural practice that unites design, performance, and electronic media with cultural and architectural theory and criticism. Their work explores how space functions in our culture and illustrates that architecture, when understood as the physical manifestation of social relationships, is everywhere, not just in buildings."
