Vending Machine's Habitat is the third topic of investigation that I decided to do. For those who've been to Japan and those who have not, I think it is safe to say that Japan is probably the world capital of VENDING MACHINES! They're everywhere, big streets, small streets, alleys, under the staircase, on a hilly slope, train platform, parking lots, and even the restaurants use automated machines for ordering. The intention of this photo-series is to look at placement in which the vending machine is housed. Although each vending machine is very similar in its design and form, the habitat in which these machines is placed is what makes it unique in his characteristics. When you visit Japan, I would recommend paying attention to this particular phenomenon that I am talking about. You will notice that a majority of them are embedded into a side of a building, and it makes me wonder if the vending machine's habitat was a part of the design process, or was it added on later in the renovation process. The question that follows is whether if the vending machine company contact the building owner before the building is built or afterward. Either way, there is something that is so fascinating about the sprawl of these machines. I know this whole curiosity sounds a bit weird, but I think its pretty cool. haha.
Thanks,
