About
is a publishing project focusing on architecture and representation, established in 2024.
私たちは、建築・都市・芸術・哲学をテーマとした出版を起点に、展示、リサーチ、国際協働を横断する小規模な文化プロジェクトです。建築を専門とする3人のメンバーを中心に、写真、文筆、グラフィックデザインといった複数の実践を重ね合わせながら、アーティストブックや展覧会、研究的な出版物の制作を行っています。
We are a small cultural project that operates across publishing, exhibitions, research, and international collaboration, with a focus on architecture, urbanism, art, and philosophy.
Centered around three members with backgrounds in architecture, we bring together practices in photography, writing, and graphic design to produce artist books, exhibitions, and research-based publications.
Yukasa Narisada
She graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts with a masters degree in architecture, and her main fields of activity are architectural design, photography and video, as well as exhibitions, and she has produced a book for each of her works. Major exhibitions include “To Any Future Form that Will Be Able to Present Itself as an Invisible “(2024, Calm&Punk Gallery, Tokyo) and “Ground Zero”(2023, Kyoto Art Centre, Kyoto). “My Bodily Timidity" (2022, The 5th Floor/VOU, Tokyo/Kyoto).
Tatsumi Sone
Tatsumi Sone studied architecture at Tokyo Institute of Technology and TU Delft. His work includes architectural works and graphics. For Sone, architecture is a translation between different media, including drawings, models, and objects, and he therefore places great importance on books that can be used at any stage of the translation.
He has published "Poortgebouw: 7 Narratives" (2022), "Distilled Perspectives On Domesticity: Interior Perspective Drawings by Dutch Architects 1896-1976” (2023) and "Netherlands - East Indies Furniture Museum: Drawings" (2024).
Naoki Kitagaki
Naoki Kitagaki studied architecture at Kyoto University. He engages in exploration and expression through architectural design practice, criticism, writing, and other creative endeavors, focusing on the relationship between architectural space and the entities existing within it from the perspectives of "ownership," "covering it," and "continuously providing structure (philosophy of life and tidying).”
