KISS

See the Video: http://vimeo.com/35013392KISS was built to enable 24 couples to be married free of charge on July 30th 2011 in celebration of the Marriage Equality Act of New York.KISS is literal: two separate parts, made of the same DNA but layered differently are essentially two unique individuals that when joined together create a stable entity that is more than the sum of its parts.KISS is abstract: two separate structures, made of the same DNA but layered differently are essentially two unique wall sections that when joined together create a stable space that is more than the sum of its parts.KISS is a playful vaulted chapel.KISS gages contrasting identities, it’s made of rough materials which generate delicate forms, it is sturdy like an elephant and light like a flamingo.Give KISS a chance!
