HABIT©AT
as low as MYR 7.08 for 24 months*
HABIT©AT is a quiet, thoughtful inquiry into how street cats in Singapore inhabit and adapt to the man-made spaces of suburban life.
Rather than simply documenting cats in the city, Atelier HOKO looks at the relationship between animals, architecture, and the everyday urban environment. Through the cats’ instinctive use of overlooked corners, gaps, edges, and surfaces, the book invites us to reconsider the city not merely as a collection of functional public spaces, but as a landscape filled with possibilities.
What makes the project particularly compelling is its suggestion that cats possess a different kind of spatial intelligence, an ability to notice subtle qualities in their surroundings and recognise what the environment offers them. HABIT©AT encourages us to look at our own ways of dwelling through this perspective, asking what we might learn from the humble adaptability of street cats.
There is something deeply observant about the way Atelier HOKO approaches the subject. The cats are not presented simply as subjects within an urban landscape; they become guides for seeing the city differently. The publication sits comfortably between photography, architecture, urban studies, and a broader reflection on how we occupy space.
Who is it for?
A strong choice for readers interested in photography, architecture, urbanism, animal studies, and contemporary visual culture. It will particularly appeal to those who enjoy photobooks that move beyond straightforward documentation and use everyday subjects to explore larger questions about how we live and share space.
