Sugar Spectrum Lab Reads Candy Like Architecture

Field notes

The lab organizes tasting as a timeline: look, touch, break, taste, and remember, with texture assessed through rebound, grain, flexibility, density, coating, and geometry rather than softness alone. Its current specimen set contains five named candies—Ruby, Citrus, Lime, Violet, and Aqua—and the accompanying fictional city translates materials into five districts, including a gummy conservatory, hard-candy observatory, marshmallow commons, caramel bridge, and sugar crystal garden.
