Kumiko Inui - Little Spaces

Published in conjunction with an exhibition at Toto Gallery_MA featuring an urban research project conducted by architect Kumiko Inui and her students at the Tokyo University of the Arts Inui Lab, this handsome volume presents material gathered while investigating how to create quality public spaces. Interested in identifying the appeal of places to which people are naturally drawn, Inui initiated a project to photograph more than 18,000 scenes from throughout Japan, subsequently categorising these typologically to identify and analyse their varying urban perspectives. This book includes a selection of around 2000 photographs, filtered by the keyword "service".
