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.
