Chris Bardt and Kyna Leski describe their work process as “material reasoning,” a hands-on way of designing by doing. Bardt and Leski, partners in the Providence firm 3SIX0, both teach at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and explore ideas by making models—wire frame, paper, cardboard, wood, you name it—and mock-ups at various scales. Deeply involved with one of the only architecture programs in the U.S. set within an art and design school, rather than an academic or research institution, Bardt and Leski bring a strong materials sensibility to projects such as Stix, a 1,500-square-foot restaurant and club in the Back Bay area of Boston.
