19 selected projects in 88 illustrations

ISBN: 0671206915 and ISBN: 0500580030 ONLY! This mostly black & white - and comprising almost exclusively of 87 illustrations - hardcover survey of major works on 134 pages was published in English in 1970 by Simon & Schuster in US (Thames & Huston, London in Masters of Modern Architecture series) following the first edition in Japan in 1968 by Bijutsu Shuppan-sha, Tokyo. An introductory part on 12 pages by Martin Pawley is followed by 98 pages mainly with only B & W and excellent photos (and a few in color), but also hard line plans and sections. On several pages at the end of book, there are a biography, list of works, bibliography, etc. Most of mainly B & W illustrations are photos of an excellent quality, well balanced, crisp and legible by Yukio Futagawa. Like all from the Library of Contemporary Architects/Masters of MODERN Architecture series, it is very good among architectural monographs, and superior to the Masters of WORLD Architecture/Makers of Contemporary Architecture series (ISBN: 08076*), or Studio Paperback series published by Birkhauser Verlag under ISBN: 37643* (Basel)/08176* (Boston) or Artemis Verlag under ISBN: 37608* (Zurich)/18740* (London).
