Description
Architecture as an unfinished project, rather than a complete one. Buildings and Almost Buildings explores the work of nARCHITECTS, a New York-based office led by Eric Bunge and Mimi Hoang, who are tackling contemporary issues in architecture. The book presents a range of buildings, public spaces, and installations that showcase the office's approach to designing for an ever-changing world. From Carmel Place, a micro unit building in New York City, to the design center A/D/O, nARCHITECTS is addressing pressing concerns such as urban living, workspaces, and public spaces. This anti-monograph offers a subtle manifesto on the open-ended and ambiguous nature of architecture, arguing for the potential of incomplete and ambiguous designs.
