"Text description provided by the architects. What if every object has an invisible tongue? - A column's tongue, a window's tongue, a flowerbed's tongue, each quietly sensing the world around it, extending its own way of tasting space. The wetness of grass after rain, the umami of a mild breeze, the electric burst of popping candy, or the velvety surrender of melting cheese each becomes a moment of shared synesthesia, a reminder that taste might extend far beyond the body."

Objects are imagined with invisible tongues that quietly sense surroundings and taste space in distinct ways. Columns, windows, and flowerbeds each extend their own modes of tasting and register environmental qualities. Sensory moments include the wetness of grass after rain, the umami of a mild breeze, the electric burst of popping candy, and the velvety surrender of melting cheese. These sensations cohere into shared synesthesia that blurs distinctions between taste and place. Taste becomes a distributed sense linked to materials and forms, suggesting that gustatory perception might reach far beyond individual bodies.
