Models and Mis-behaviors: Architectures of Democracy asks a question about architecture's role in the practice of democracy. Inspired by accounts of "mis-behaviors" in democracy across the world, the research offers a typological survey of parliament spaces in different countries and compares it against the Democracy Index of the year, in a way that reveals associations between spatial arrangement of where democracy takes place and its effect on human behaviors.

Perfectly nestled into an arched storefront at the Cooper Union Institute, the exhibition design provides multiple vantage points from within and outside the building, offering access to the multi-media research content to a broader public.
