So-Il: In Depth: Urban Domesticities Today

The residential projects of the award-winning architecture firm responsible for the first Frieze New York pavilion. For over a decade, Brooklyn-based architecture firm SO?IL has been envisioning houses and other projects in between and adjacent to domestic spaces. Reflecting on the state of housing design today, often constrained by pressures of production, SO?IL approaches these projects with generous experimentation. They adapt and adjust the architectural and physical ?body languages? of domesticity while operating through the framing and occupation of liminal spaces. The projects featured in In Depth represent SO-IL's attempt to ?hack? the codes, cores, courts and corridors; to stretch and inhabit ?inefficiencies?; to turn the old stones and bring fragments of buried treasures from the past into the present; to question if housing for all should be the yardstick for the shelters of our souls; and to ask the future generations what kind of home we should design for them. SELLING POINTS: . SO?IL or Solid Objectives?Idenburg Liu is a Brooklyn-based architecture firm founded in 2008 by husband-and-wife team Florian Idenburg and Jing Liu. Known for its 2021 design of Brooklyn's Amant arts complex and the first Frieze New York pavilion in 2012, SO?IL envisions spaces for culture and learning that inspire positive intellectual and societal engagement. . The sleek design of this 400-page softcover complements the book's documentation of SO-IL's residential projects.
