Vine House Type:Framed A row of empty desks

A row of empty desks faces a wall of grimy windows

decaying reagents and glassware sitting exactly where a student last placed them

The amenities building housed dressing rooms

the bush is quietly reasserting itself

Rows of broken seats face a proscenium arch inside the Akaiwa Cultural Hall

Vine House Type:Framed A row of empty desksDense vines have reclaimed the facade of a timber frame dwelling in Yubari, Hokkaido, obscuring its walls and windows beneath a mass of green foliage. The house sits within a streetscape that once sheltered a population of more than 100,000 people at the city's mid century peak. Today fewer than 6,000 residents remain. Part of the Streetscapes of Yubari series.
