Arguably the most significant body of work of the last 20 years. -Architects' Journal Every page raises your level of consciousness and I cannot say how much pleasure it gave. -Architectural Review A superb example of a monograph that is more than simply a catalogue of buildings. Richard Pare's photographs beautifully capture the sublime simplicity, the materiality, and the quality of time in Ando's work. -American Institute of Architects


On Can I Eat That? by Joshua David Stein and Julia Rothman, Phaidon It's a book for both dubious and curious eaters that also cleverly explores the foibles of the English language. Illustrations by Julia Rothman entertain the kids while unexpected turns of phrase keep adults guessing -Food52 Tasty... Stein's clever words and tight phrasing are put to good effect alongside Rothman's colourful illustrations -West Weekend magazine
