Recent Work

Only If, a New York City-based design practice for architecture and urbanism, was founded in

2013. The office currently consists of 6 architects and designers and is engaged in a range of

projects, from the design of a single-family housing prototype to larger-scale urban planning,

research and speculation. Despite differences in context, size and type, in each project Only If

seeks to distill simple yet unexpected solutions within complex situations and constraints. This

lecture traces the threads and internal coherence within the first projects produced in the year and

a half of Only If’s practice.

Only If，是在纽约市为基地来做建筑和城市设计实践的工作室，成立于2013年。目前，工

作室共有6位建筑师和设计师，并设计了一系列项目：从单一家庭住宅原型的设计到较大规

模的城市规划、设计和研究。尽管周围环境、大小和类型不同，Only If的每个项目试图提

炼出在复杂情况下简单而又出人意料的解决方案。本次讲座将会回顾Only If工作室当年做

的第一批实践项目。
