hanrahan Meyers architects present a series of collages created by hMa principal Victoria Meyers.  The series, titled 'manipulated nature', is referenced in various hanrahan Meyers architects (hMa) built projects.  hanrahan Meyers has developed a consistent body of work by placing pieces of nature within abstract minimalist envelops.
