{"product_id":"young-projects-figure-cast-frame","title":"Young Projects: Figure  Cast  Frame","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis first monograph from New York-based Young Projects explores a new approach to spatial design that combines digital and analog methods at the intersection of exploration and architecture This monograph introduces the cutting-edge research and work of Young Projects  founded by Bryan Young  where materiality  structure  and form intersect to generate new architectural typologies. The book presents a selection of the practices most relevant projects: five innovative houses completed between 2015 and 2020 as well as less in-depth looks at other projects that define the practice. Each house serves as a chapter through which Young Projects broader body of work is explored across scales  illustrated through a rich landscape of drawings  diagrams  renderings  mock-ups  prototypes  and photography. The through-line connecting all chapters is the studios interest in using ambiguity and anomaly to create novel and accessible spaces  whether for high profile clients like Heidi Klum or a new resort in St Kitts. Young Projects seeks to draw users into immersive spatial experiences that unfold over time  in a manner that is familiar but subtly foreign. This quality of allure is a result of a unique and experimental approach to materiality and spatial legibility. These are the threads that tie the work together and have set Young Projects apart as an emerging practice  as well as inform the larger-scale projects the studio undertakes as it enters its second decade. Young Projects process often begins with simple exercises in making: form-finding experiments they undertake within their Brooklyn studio. Material research has included hand-pulling plaster with an irregular knife  using furniture foam as a casting bed  and forming concrete with palm stems. These experiments  among many others  mine characteristics that are not typically associated with conventional architectural materials and break traditional methodology  allowing for qualities of randomness and spontaneity to enter the process of making. The studio finds that letting go of control (at the right moments) produces results that are often surprising  entirely bespoke  and resist replication.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44985129205813,"sku":"ByrdShop_1580935982","price":37.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781580935982.jpg?v=1770848074","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/young-projects-figure-cast-frame","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
