That is why near buildings, a label insisted upon by Bunge and Hoang in their practice and book, radiates fresh thinking about what architecture is, but can become. A near building isn't a pale imitation of something once substantial, like near beer, but a refusal of closure in favor of continuous attentiveness to the present. --Norman Weinstein, ArchNewsNow Buildings and Almost Buildings presents nArchitects' oeuvre in a clear, concise volume that illustrates their conceptual frameworks through a non-linear presentation of their projects. The result is a beautiful and informative book that gives us insight into their way of seeing and thinking, and reminds us what happens when even the simplest problem becomes an opportunity to remember to design. --Matthew Shaw, Architects Newspaper From the founders of New York-based nArchitects, this book explores what it means for architecture to be complete--or not. By the same token, this book is not quire a monograph, although it does include myriad images of the firm's works, such as the 2016 Brooklyn design center A/D/O. --Architectural Record
