Various images of contemporary architectures in Japan currently being displayed in London during an exhibition of work by British architectural photographer Edmund Sumner. The exibihition which entitled ‘Outside the Box – Images of contemporary Japanese architecture‘ is held by Daiwa Foundation Japan House and scheduled to open between 2 June – 25 July 2008. Image above is the Y House Aichi by Power Unit Studio, it’s just another contemporary work that i like most.
As a photographer, Sumner has long held an interest in contemporary architecture. The tension involved in capturing an often fleeting moment within a permanent image is the focus of his work and is what has drawn him to the innovative contemporary architecture of Japan.
