Yuya is a curbside cubby in Vienna's seventh district that specializes in Thai street food. When faced with a limited budget and an accelerated timeline, sometimes the pragmatic becomes the celebrated. Here, the new kitchen ductwork is presented as a colorful graphic element that pulls attention from the street into the small, narrow space, disappearing behind a plane of papers fixed in place by magnetic bars. The paper plane displays a current menu and wandering graphics of tigers in the brush.
