A rare and profound collectible for admirers of contemporary architecture. This is a prestigious first-edition copy of "Tadao Ando's Dream Visions: Earthquake Reconstruction and the Osaka Bay Area Project" (安藤忠雄の夢構想), published in 1995. What makes this particular volume exceptional is the inclusion of an authentic hand-drawn drawing and signature by the Pritzker Prize-winning architect, Tadao Ando himself. The book serves as a critical document of Ando’s visionary urban planning and reconstruction efforts following the Great Hanshin Earthquake, showcasing his signature use of concrete, light, and geometry. Inside, readers will find extensive architectural plans, project sketches, and photographs of models that detail his influential "Osaka Bay Area Project". This volume is not just a book, but a piece of architectural history signed by one of the most significant figures in the field.
