# Mangled Anatomical Architecture Primal Parts by Kyd Kitchaiya Explores the Biology of Building By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-02-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primal-parts-by-kyd-kitchaiya References: [suckerpunchdaily](http://www.suckerpunchdaily.com/2012/01/25/primal-parts/#more-18403) & [kydkit](http://www.kydkit.com/#2304803/Primal-Parts) It's a little unsettling to view this project called Primal Parts by Kyd Kitchaiya. Would it surprise you to learn that the designer's family are pig butchers? Probably not. But what is so admirable about this concept is its profoundly peculiar formal inspiration that unites the structures of a living body with the construction of a building. The fibrous textures and organic masses of this bizarre high-end retail store were conceived through research and imagination. The corporeal components were then cut and pulled apart to suit the program of the interior. Bits of bone, muscles and veins appear like aberrant sculptures within the oddly-shaped interior spaces, signifying an "intensive exchange between architecture and product." And for a remarkably dramatic effect, Primal Parts by Kyd Kitchaiya has been rendered in bio-mechanical drawing, x-rays and 18th century anatomical illustrations. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Bizarre Architecture:** Exploring the fusion of biology and construction in architectural design, creating unique and unconventional spaces. - **Bio-inspired Retail Design:** Incorporating organic textures and forms in retail stores to create immersive and visually striking environments. - **Integration of Art and Anatomy:** Using anatomical elements and illustrations in architectural design as a means of blurring the boundaries between art and functionality. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture:** Opportunity for architects to push the boundaries of traditional design by incorporating unconventional and biological elements. - **Retail:** Innovative retail design that offers a unique and memorable shopping experience, attracting customers through visually captivating spaces. - **Art and Design:** Exploration of art and anatomy in architectural design, creating thought-provoking and visually stimulating environments that challenge traditional concepts of space. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Protein-Inspired Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-protein-molecule.md) - [Health Object Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/out-of-orifice.md) - [Slaugherhouse-Transformed Unique Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anthropocene-museum.md) - [Dynamic Organic Store Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-manso.md) - [Brain-Like Labyrinths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brash-collective.md) - [Modern Design-Exploring Art Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pratone-chair.md) - [Demountable Wooden Retail Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/present-correct1.md) - [Sustainable Retail Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sheep-inc-london.md) - [Bathroom-Centric Dubai Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bone-studio.md)
