| A Weekly Dose of Architecture Books Newsletter
This newsletter for the week of August 31 features two books on Japanese architecture that have been published by Thames & Hudson a few months apart: Ari Seligmann’s KA ME RA: Modern Japanese Architecture through the Photographer’s Lens, published in March, and Naomi Pollock’s Vanishing Japan: Modern Architecture, Gone But Not Forgotten, published this week. The book From the Archive is about a building that makes an appearance in both Books of the Week: Kisho Kurokawa’s Nakagin Capsule Tower.

| A Weekly Dose of Architecture Books Newsletter
This newsletter for the week of August 17 looks at Diagrams, the book accompanying the exhibition of the same name that AMO/OMA installed at Fondazione Prada in Venice last year. One of the unique aspects of the publication is it being “unfinished” and therefore requiring the reader to do some work to complete it, a characteristic shared by a 23-year-old book devoted to Diller & Scofidio’s famous unbuilt design for Eyebeam, featured at bottom. In between are the usual headlines and new releases.

| A Weekly Dose of Architecture Books Newsletter
This newsletter for the week of August 10 looks at Theo Deutinger’s latest book, All About U.S.: 250 Years of the United States of America. Although this Book of the Week won’t be released until September 22 in the US, I’m featuring it this week while the events (or non-events) of last month’s semiquincentennial celebrations are still fresh in my mind. The book From the Archive is a related look back at America’s past, while the usual headlines and new releases are in between.
