Featuring Tokyo’s most remarkable examples of concrete architecture, this two-sided, bilingual (Japanese and English) guide includes a map of the city, an introduction by Naomi Pollock, photographs and details of fifty selected buildings.

Concrete construction is the signature of many Japanese architects, most notably Tadao Ando who uses the material in an exceptionally refined form.

In the hands of Japan’s skilled contractors, concrete has become a remarkably versatile, expressive material. More than a means of support, concrete has a plasticity that can accommodate Tokyo’s oddly shaped sites and offers a variety of surface treatments with aesthetic possibilities.

Christopher K. ★★★★★

I was surprised by how many buildings I’ve walked right past, and the introduction by Naomi Pollock gave me a whole new appreciation for them. The photos alongside the map really help connect the locations to the architecture.

Evelyn ★★★★★

The bilingual labels make it so easy to navigate the city while geeking out over brutalist gems—I flipped between English and Japanese sections constantly. The intro by Naomi Pollock adds real context, and the two-sided layout means I never had to fumble with folding it mid-walk.

Steven W. ★★★★★

The photo of the Tange lab building looks exactly like I remember it. I’m learning so much from the bilingual captions as I plan my next trip. This is a really thoughtful guide for architecture fans.
