reviews
Great overall
I just recently purchased this book, i am an architecture student in chicago. The book is really informative on Kazuyo and Ryue's work from when they started working together in 1995. There are a lot of picture for every project they did together. Each poject is given a few pages, not much is left out. It is all in Japanese with mostly everything translated into english. The pictures in this book are beautiful, and different concepts are explained. There are also many original drawings and notes written by both partners. I don't imagine this book getting boring anytime soon. I actually got this book to compare her projects from this time period to her earlier works, and this is a great source to do such. The only problem i have with it is that I wish it had more text explaining the projects more in depth.
