KA ME RA Modern Japanese Architecture Through The Photographer's Lens
Join us for a book launch at the Victorian Pride Centre.
In conjunction with the recent release of KA ME RA Modern Japanese Architecture Through The Photographer's Lens, which is a combination of photobook, history and historiography tracing developments and key figures shaping our images of understanding of architecture in Japan, join us for broad discussions about architectural photography, its producers and its implications.
