<p>Takashi Homma uses fragments collected in camera obscura constructed in metropolitan areas of Japan and the US to build a city image by image. Homma does not seek to index any particular city but to render a shadow world, a city's unconscious caught in a dark chamber, suspended in the camera's box. The camera obscura offers a repetition, like the reflection shimmering in Narcissus's pool. The narcissistic city is a city transfixed upon its own image - a mirror city, laced with repetition (modular) and reflections (glass). A city looking at its reflection, a city caught in a dark chamber, a city observing its camera obscura inversion - flickering inside the camera's box.</p>

<p>Architects construct models in order to better visualise their projects, to make them more tangible. Even after a building is realised, its model can offer new insights about the creative process of the designer. Photographed by Takashi Homma, the selection in this book comes exclusively from Japanese practices, spanning from the heyday of the Metabolists in the 1960s and 70s to the bubble economys collapse and the 21st century. Included are many notable works, among them Tadao Andos Church of the Light, Kisho Kurokawas Nakagin Capsule Tower, Toyo Itos Serpentine Gallery Pavilion, houses by Itsuko Hasegawa, and Ryue Nishizawas Teshima Art Museum.</p>
