Buildings and Almost Buildings explores the work of nARCHITECTS as a single project - an anti-monograph with a subtle manifesto about the open- ended, incomplete, and ambiguous in architecture. Is architecture inherently complete? Or is it a state of incompletion and seeming inadequacy that incites us to imagine architecture as an armature for an ever-changing daily life? Buildings and Almost Buildings explores the work of nARCHITECTS as a single project – an anti-monograph with a subtle manifesto about the open- ended, incomplete, and ambiguous in architecture. Structured around a variety of modes of representation specially prepared for the book, it reveals the ways in which the celebrated New York office led by Eric Bunge and Mimi Hoang addresses contemporary issues of a world in flux. Across a range of buildings, public spaces, and ephemeral installations, nARCHITECTS argues for the formal and social potential of an architecture that remains somehow incomplete and ambiguously perceived. This book won a Graham Foundation Grant.
