広島・東京・建築設計事務所 suppose design office −Works− O-office. Hiroyuki Shinozaki Architects | 篠崎弘之建築設計事務所. Junya ishigami « openhouse. Photos and text via domus : text by joseph grima : photos by yasushi ichikawa & junya ishigami studio Walk into Junya Ishigami’s new office in the Roppongi neighbourhood of Tokyo, and the first thing you’ll notice between the model-laden desks and workstations is a large, gaping hole in the concrete floor slab. I peer down into the basement: a sea of models from past projects are haphazardly piled in stacks as far as the eye can see.
Ishigami’s collaborators (relatively few, considering the office’s prodigious model output) seem to have become so accustomed to the abnormality of a gaping void in the office floor as to no longer notice it, and seem mildly baffled by my surprise. Like all exceptionally true visionaries, Ishigami operates by creating a powerful reality-distortion field, and the hole in the floor is perhaps the least exceptional thing his collaborators must learn to metabolise.

Junya ishigami seams to to the impossible. he emulates nature in his buildings. his work, no matter how big seam to be light as air, like naturs itself, like walking through a birch forest. and his drawings are so delicate and beautiful. are you inside or you outside? Man-made or nature? Like this: Like Loading... 久野浩志建築設計事務所 | hiroshi kuno + associates.
