This could be the tiniest book on your shelf. Smaller, lighter and infinitely more beautiful than a kindle (do they even still exist?). A book from the studio of the great Junya Ishigami showing 27 projects, real and imagined, from residential to city scale. Projects with equal attention to architectural and natural spaces.

Ishigami writes the introduction and at the end of the book there is a short essay from the architecture critic and historian Taro Igarashi.

Included is a 29.6 x 42 cm black and white printed poster of the projects in the book with the original Japanese text with illustrations. Folded up and slipped into a little plastic resealable pocket with the book.

It was first published to co-inside with his 2008 Venice Biennale installation at the Japanese Pavillion in the Giardini.

All of this in the palm of your hand.

Condition: perfect, in plastic wrapper.
