摘要：In Tokyo Void, Jonas and Rahmann place focus on the phenomenon of urban voids, whichhave received the attention of urban theorists and practitioners for over three decades. Theyapproach it from perspectives gained during their extensive field research in Tokyo, proposinga contrasting Asian context for a typically Western concern. For this they choose a culturethat embraces imported urban models whilst preserving a radically particular sensitivitytowards the empty, the unfinished, the transitional and the imperfect. The result is anappealing collection of entry points both to vacant spaces as spaces of possibility and to theurban at large; one that conjugates a disciplinary and a scholarly concern for these spaces,with which this work reveals engagement as much as dedicated study.
