don know a book dedicated to it but JA does a detail book/issue once a year that is filled with the stuff of Japanese firms; quite a lot of it minimal-ish. maki, sejima, ito, takenaka (a large construction company with some really fine architects on its staff), etc etc.

i think those are bilingual and do remember seeing them at my school library back in canada, so not that hard to get ahold of.

think the series is called "SPACE IN DETAIL I, II, III...." lots of steel angles and glass and concrete coming together in clear construction.

Thanks for the info.... If anybody else knows of any good resources for some excellent minimalist details, feel free to mention them here.

mckay ?

Gin,
a few months ago I was leafing through what might be this book:

'Constructing Architecture Materials, Processes, Structure: A Handbook'
Author: Andrea Deplazes
Birkhauser
August 2005

but i remember there being another title like 'Details of Modern Arch' that I've seen- has details of scarpa and kahn windows....
