CTC — Kamiyacho: an IT head office with a room called The AGILE TOKYO

Concept

Agile, as a room

The space CTC photographs most in Kamiyacho is called The AGILE TOKYO. In software, agile means building in short cycles with the customer close by; CTC has given the idea a room of its own, and repeated it in Osaka on the 19th floor as Agile Osaka.

Around it are the ordinary parts of a large IT company’s head office — an entrance with sofas, a corridor of visitor meeting rooms, long working floors and a café — shown plainly, without adjectives.
