Too Much Magazine, Issue 10
Release date: March 31, 2025
Too Much gathers thoughts about cities, the people who live in them, and the changes affecting our society and our environment. It’s a magazine about romantic geography. Too Much is made by international writers and photographers, along with a Japanese design team, and a sharp mind on research with the same strong care for texts and images. There are more and more people who care not only about architecture and design, but also for the changes within the city and the impact of globalism, and have an international curiosity. Too Much is for them.
In this issue:
Issue 10 of TOO MUCH: Magazine of Romantic Geography takes a deep dive into the idiosyncratic oeuvre of Schemata Architects. Founded in 1998 by Jo Nagasaka, Schemata is a Tokyo-based practice that works across architecture, interior and furniture design.
In the preceding edition of TOO MUCH, our readers discovered the ingenious adaptations of vernacular Japanese architecture by the burgeoning Muslim population. The minimalist yet impactful repurposing of spaces as improvised places of worship set the stage for our exploration of Schemata’s unique ethos in this milestone 10th issue.
Jo Nagasaka, the creative force behind Schemata Architects, introduces the concept of “pluralistic architecture,” emphasizing spaces continually shaped by diverse perspectives. Nagasaka’s deliberate embrace of open-ended designs allows for adaptation and even “misuse” of spaces, challenging traditional notions of architecture.
This issue invites readers on a captivating tour of Schemata’s projects, both past and present, examining how Nagasaka’s pluralistic philosophy transforms preexisting spaces. The essence of “semi-architecture,” as manifested in Schemata’s intentionally understated works, starkly contrasts conventional architectural norms.
Through the lens of our ongoing series “Work,” this volume provides the second installment, focusing on how individuals, in this case, Schemata Architects, dynamically transform landscapes through innovative use of biological, psychological and social resources. The issue encourages readers to reconsider their perception of architecture and design, offering a romanticized perspective that navigates toward a fresh, immersive experience of space.
