Yoshihara McKee Architect

Based in New York and Tokyo, we design projects ranging in type and size from small residential works to large scale urban interventions, that change the urban character of the city. We also design architecture within a wide range of budgets making use of under-utilized materials. Through our work we strive to understand the differences and similarities of perception, materiality and space between western and eastern culture.

Our application of Origami into the scale of structure is one example. Our approach is not to emulate arbitrary free forms clad with multiple flat planes that looks like origami, but instead to develop unique forms respecting mathematical folding rules which makes form making more restrictive but also heuristic and experimental > nextpage.
