Awkward Spaces

A field guide to the tiny, pointless corners of everyday life, the gaps, dead zones, and accidental geometries we navigate without ever naming them. Across twelve chapters, the book catalogues the spatial absurdities of domestic, social, and public life: the gap behind the couch, the bed-wall abyss, the elevator triangle, the café table leg maze, the reception desk dead zone, the waiting room gap, the narrow stair landing, the collision zone, the queue ambiguity gap, the conversation exit vector, the circle-that-isn't-a-circle at parties, and an urban chapter on shadeless benches, almost-parks, sidewalk bottlenecks, and wind-tunnel corners. Deadpan text meets sparse, type-driven layouts including spreads that flip and reverse, forcing the reader to physically turn the book in search of orientation it never provides. Spiral-bound, printed on industrial grey stock. A soft atlas of the micro-spaces we silently tolerate.
