The clients arrive together promptly at
6:00am each morning. They enjoy breakfast
together while over looking the Hudson, and at
certain times of the year, overlooking the sunrise.
After breakfast they would break for
independent reflection and
thought. It would start with a slight separation in
the research area. They would share the same
collection of books but had separate reading
areas in the library. After some research they
would move to the sketching and writing area
they would be in two separate rooms
who share one wall that would be translucent, to
only allow them to view one another’s shadows.
As they continue their day they move to
completely separate spaces where they can do
small scale modeling, which will be the last stop
before they meet again for lunch. When they
meet for lunch they begin to discuss their
research, studies, ideas, and findings. After lunch
they can join each other in a joint thought
facility, where they can further discuss their
morning findings. After deciding what ideas they
would like to pursue, they then go through
motions of refining ideas, together.
They then work side by side in a joint facility that
contains a drafting center, model testing area and
a review area. After ending their joint exploration
they can review the activities of the day by
walking through a deteriorating corridor that
releases them on the shore of the Hudson.
NARRATIVE
Shin + Tomoko Azumi
Both the Azumis were born in Japan:
Shin in Kobe in 1965 and
Tomoko in Hiroshima in 1966.
They met at Kyoto City University of Art,
where they studied product design and
environmental design respectively.
After graduating in 1989, Shin worked
in the personal computer department
of NEC, the Japanese electronics group,
and Tomoko joined Kazuhiro Ishii’s
architectural practice. In 1992, Shin won
a place on the industrial design course
at London’s Royal College of Art.
In 1995, they formed Azumi.
They concentrated on pieces which
could be economically produced
in small quantities such as the simple,
but conceptually ingenuous wooden
Table = Chest and 1998 Wire Frame
chairs and benches made from
a ready-made industrial material
inspired by supermarket baskets
and 3D wire frame computer images.
