Almost, Not: The Architecture of Atelier Nishikata is the story of
a remarkable architecture practice in Tokyo. Partners Reiko Nishio
and Hirohito Ono have built just four residential works, until now
remaining little-known outside of Japan. But the extraordinary,
almost-ordinary quality of their work warrants the spotlight. It
has much to teach students of architecture and experienced
architects alike. This book is a hybrid between an architectural
monograph and a magic instruction book. Author Leslie Van Duzer, a
former magician's assistant and author of four monographs on
20th-century architecture, draws parallels between the effects and
methods of architects and magicians. The introductory essay,
"Almost, Not," presents an overview of Atelier Nishikata's
approach, describing the effects engendered by their architecture
and the methods behind the them. The essay is followed by four
detailed project descriptions that elaborate on the strategies
behind the work. These texts are richly illustrated with process
work, diagrams, detailed drawings, and photographs, including
before and after views of the renovated spaces, and views
post-inhabitation. The volume closes with a lengthy interview with
the architects to help flesh out the methods behind their madness.
