Portfolio showcasing the artistic practice developed by Tamami Inuma under the term „House of Architecture“.

To feel architecture as if it was human. Sometimes I feel a sense of familiarity, attachment, respect, or even admiration. This is probably because of the accumulated history and memories of pople’s live latent in these buildings. Architectural fragments are like entrances to „passages“ that let us leap across space and time. These passages lead from architcture to history and stories, and from the present to the past and future. Under the theme of „House of Architecture“, Iinuma photographs architecture as accumulations of people’s memories, and cities and landscapes as habilitations of architecture.

Compiled and edited by artist Tamami Iinuma, this collection of architectural photography by the late critic Taki Koji (1928–2011) spans the decade between 1968 and 1979 and includes works by architects such as Kazuo Shinohara, Toyo Ito, Kazunari Sakamoto, and Hironori Shirasawa. The images were digitised from original prints and film, and 125 photographs were selected and retouched by Iinuma especially for this posthumous publication.
Two texts are included as well: Koji’s own “The Language of a House” (originally published in 1975) and the critical examination “The Houses Are All Gone Under the Sea: Koji Taki’s Anti-Architectural Photography” by cultural anthropologist Ryuta Imafuku.
