Project UrbEx

Here is a photographic adventure around an offbeat selection of the world’s abandoned buildings, captured by one of the videogame industry’s most beloved creatives. ‘Project UrbEx’ documents a multitude of abandoned spaces – from decaying hotels and ex-military sites to disued factories to haunted hospitals – all seen through the eyes of the much-loved videogame creative Ikumi Nakamura. Much more than a photographic album, the book combines playful and humourous travel writing, videogame design theory, survival horror aesthetics and even manga comic illustrations – ‘Project UrbEx’ offers a truly unique global adventure.
