I simply love the inability of design professionals (are they?) to realise that architectural photographs are NOT about the way people LIVE. Often these are to support the actual concept, first as an abstract model and then as a built result.

These photographs are mostly taken before any occupants move in. And the Japanese do this beautifully – they keep the spaces empty or very sparsely furnished so that the architecture is kept visible rather than being concealed behind mountains of design objects and general clutter absorbing all the attention.
