PI.KL is an interdisciplinary design studio exploring concepts, ideas, and projects of the conceptual and built order. Founded in 2009 and based in Baltimore MD, Pavlina Ilieva and Kuo Pao Lian seek to produce a body of work that challenges the notion of contemporary practices of design, teaching, and visual communication. Working without limits of expression, the studio experiments with 3D rendering and animation, film, architecture, objects, furniture, and digital fabrication with traditional building techniques to provide a multidisciplinary process of dissemination and creation.
