The Thrill of Contemporary Toyko

Tokyo is one of the most exciting, pulsating cities in the world and one of the reasons is its fabulous avant garde architecture. This great little book (it measures about 3"x3") is organized into neighborhoods. Each building is shown with one or more excting photos and a great description of WHY it is exciting. A full address is given as well as architect info. It is great for getting you turned on without being overwhelmed with minutiae. I look forward to going and looking at the real thing with this book in hand someday.
