Description

Work 2 — Schemata Architects (Second Edition)


In the blink of an eye, the volume we spent almost a year working on with Schemata Architects in 2023 has left our hands and found its place with readers. We're pleased to see continued requests from readers and bookstores to purchase the issue. As a result, we have decided to publish an expanded edition featuring a new cover, new binding and additional content showcasing Schemata's latest project.

Issue 10 of TOO MUCH: Magazine of Romantic Geography takes a deep dive into the idiosyncratic oeuvre of Schemata Architects. Founded in 1998 by Jo Nagasaka, Schemata is a Tokyo-based practice that works across architecture, interior and furniture design.


In the preceding edition of TOO MUCH, our readers discovered the ingenious adaptations of vernacular Japanese architecture by the burgeoning Muslim population. The minimalist yet impactful repurposing of spaces as improvised places of worship set the stage for our exploration of Schemata's unique ethos in this milestone 10th issue.
Jo Nagasaka, the creative force behind Schemata Architects, introduces the concept of "pluralistic architecture," emphasizing spaces continually shaped by diverse perspectives. Nagasaka's deliberate embrace of open-ended designs allows for adaptation and even "misuse" of spaces, challenging traditional notions of architecture.

This issue invites readers on a captivating tour of Schemata's projects, both past and present, examining how Nagasaka's pluralistic philosophy transforms preexisting spaces.

The essence of "semi-architecture," as manifested in Schemata's intentionally understated works, starkly contrasts conventional architectural norms.

Through the lens of our ongoing series "Work," this volume provides the second installment, focusing on how individuals, in this case, Schemata Architects, dynamically transform landscapes through innovative use of biological, psychological and social resources.

The issue encourages readers to reconsider their perception of architecture and design, offering a romanticized perspective that navigates toward a fresh, immersive experience of space.
