Under a canopy of trees in Portugal’s Quinta Da Conceiçao Park, Belgian architects Jan De Vylder, Inge Vinck, and Jo Taillieu spent hours entranced by youngsters hitting tennis balls against the bright coral walls of Fernando Távora’s modernist pavilion. Arrested by how the simple game transformed the strict horizontal planes of pink concrete, they contemplated the friction between architecture and daily life. As part of the inaugural Chicago Architecture Biennial, they invite Chicagoans to re-create this game of tennis against landmarks around the city.
