WBYA?'s guidebook, posters, and table map were key artifacts in the exhibition. It was important that the large working table map can be engaged by visitors on all sides. It shows the movement of labor and intelligence as they converge at the construction site after traveling great distances. Posters describe key manifesto points of WBYA?, meant to educate the visitor and help establish an ethical baseline for managing construction sites overseas. Facing the street, line drawings of construction workers working on construction sites managed by architects on the east coast are projected onto the glass of the gallery.
