Jun has consistently underscored the office’s commitment to experimentation and exposing
the capabilities of materials. “Of course, we are interested in the material, but we’ll go all
the way with materials like bricks and steel to explore what else they can be.” His work
demonstrates that it is not sufficient to design a structure in such a way that simply begs the
question of how it will function; rather, it requires skillful assembly and manipulation of materials.
Alternatively stated, they generate the interweaving of surfaces via the interaction of materials,
so that the architecture is represented by gestures and a language that is perpetually viable,
ever-changing, and dynamic. The designs of Junsekino Architect and Design necessitate
greater stability. It is prepared to function in numerous dimensions outside of architecture
and design.
“Like Nobita House, it was built from a variety of materials, including steel, wood,
brick, and concrete.” We proceeded to develop materials such as brick and steel
while working on the MTL office building. We selected to work on only one material
in our early design stage for the mixed-use of steel and wood with bricks that we are
working on, like in the case of the brick house at Ngamwongwan. Only after we have
a true understanding of the formation patterns and its technical work will we begin
to employ it in conjunction with other materials, that is, crossing over between steel,
bricks, cement, and glass.”
“complete, like incomplete.”
Another fascinating example is the design of the Ngamwongwan brick house. It reveals how
the material was brought out in a finished shape, with no need for further refinement once
the building is completed. A building’s surface is filled with individual bricks and shaped into
a line. That is, the building’s walls have begun to work. However, with a more completely tidy
look, the inconsistencies of the building appeared incomplete, encouraging a feeling of
oldness from the minute it was finished. Jun further stated that in this project, the design team
collaborated directly with the builders, consisting of only three people who worked closely
together with them throughout the project. As a result, it enables them to learn about the depth
of work, nature, and possibilities from a new perspective. Then, in the following step, they
apply it to design work in other projects and benefit from testing the material.
