CUBIC COMMUNE

摘要

Visiting this project two years after completion is critical to how thoroughly it can be judged. Previously published images of empty white interiors, pristine external surfaces and a scrubby landscape, created a wholly inaccurate representation. Without evidence of occupation and use, Ryue Nishizawa's domestic experiment remained untested, seen inaccurately as an object of pure physical contemplation. Now, however, seen in use, this striking group of six dwellings is a demonstration of how traditional notions of privacy and community can be adjusted.
