Sample Size by DO WORKS explores the economy, circulation, and lifespan of materials, with a particular focus on architectural samples and objects of everyday use.
The exhibition considers how these fragments can be reimagined through acts of collecting, repurposing, and assembly. By using objects as case studies, the project highlights the entangled systems—economic, cultural, and material—that shape how resources move through and shape our built environments.

Together, the participating practitioners open a dialogue about reuse, demonstrating how free and often overlooked, disregarded materials hold latent value and potential.
In presenting the objects as both practical and poetic, the project seeks to propose alternative systems of knowledge and design thinking, foregrounding how reuse can generate new cultural and material futures.
