Architecture, after all, dictates behavior: Public or private, indoor or outdoor, extravagant or humble, old or new, fake or real — these are a few of the obvious binaries by which we assess the spaces we inhabit. They are also the edges against which most architects hone their signature styles. [...] Tanijiri and Yoshida have instead devoted themselves to the liminal place where these elements break down; their designs [...] unite concepts that seem opposed. — The New York Times
The NYT Style Magazine showcases the fascinating work of Japanese architects Suppose Design Office and their ongoing minimalist exploration of fluidity, porosity, and (in)completeness. "No matter how closely the architects listen to clients’ desires and plans to use the space," T Magazine editor Kurt Soller writes, "working with such a firm ultimately requires that the inhabitants leave much of that behind. Even its name, Suppose, dares them to question their own assumptions."
