In the evolution of image culture from Marshall McLuhan’s claims of medium supplanting message to the mid-’90s paperless studios’ fetishization of computer rendering, the rise of suckerPUNCH has added a new visceral dimension. . . Projects published on suckerPUNCH . . . are elevated beyond the ordinary and contribute to a new kind of nuanced visual discourse uniquely enabled by the Web. The underlying visual logic of this discussion is the “field,” a now default technique for describing environment and indexing parametric process. Sensorial, geometric, and spatial, the field conveniently conflates the three into a rich digital milieu. . . .

Pierre Hermé, widely considered as today’s foremost pastry chef, will expose three of his creations, retracing them from their original intuition to the elaboration of their flavors, textures, and formal manifestations, ultimately giving each its own character and ability to provide us with a new way of discovering the world.
 . . . His work demonstrates a rigor and sensibility that have created a new grammar whose richness is in line with the growing interest in cross-disciplinary thinking in design fields—laying foundations of what can be called the Architecture of Taste.
