Nowhere in the world does the interior design of a shop influence the sales as it does in Japan. Retailers spare no trouble or expense when planning and realising the design or renovation of their premises. If a few months pass and the interior fails to produce the desired commercial success, the refurbishment game starts all over again. PowerShop presents the best and most recent retail designs by ten Japanese interior architects, each of whom agreed to a personal interview. Shops and showrooms created for established names like Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto and Nissan share center stage with numerous smaller, cutting-edge boutiques. In-depth reviews of more than 30 projects are complemented by full-shot and close-up photographs, as well as various drawings, including renderings. The book also features a complete reference section, countless statistics and a number of anecdotes about shopping in Japan.

'A powerful and often lyrical book ... Fascinating and insightful in equal measure' MARK MIODOWNIK, author of Stuff Matters and Liquid 'Ali's enthusiasm for energy infrastructure electrifies this engaging tour of the people and structures that power our modern world' GAIA VINCE, author of Nomad Century and Adventures in the Anthropocene 'Highly recommend ... a warm and educational read' ROMA AGRAWAL, author of Built and Nuts and Bolts __________ We rarely think about the energy systems that prop up our existence. With hot water, lighting and digital entertainment all available at the flick of a switch, it's easy to underestimate the vast global network that makes these things possible. Growing up in Iraq, Yasmin Ali regularly experienced power cuts - ironic for a country rich in oil and sunshine. Now as an engineer working in energy, Yasmin has a deep appreciation for what these resources mean for our lives. In Power Up she takes us on a journey across the globe to reveal the bigger picture, from solar farms shimmering in the desert to power stations hidden deep in the mountains. We discover where we get energy from, how it is moved and used around the world - and why we need to understand the whole system if we want to transition towards a clean, green future. Power Up is a definitive picture of the intricate world that humanity has built, and a rallying cry to face the challenges of climate change using the power at our fingertips.
