Individual sales available: Architecture and Society, back issues from the 70s and 80s

Back issues of "Architecture and Society," published by the Architectural Institute of Japan.

This is an architectural magazine/trade journal that primarily focuses on topics such as public facilities, buildings of large corporations, housing complexes, urban planning, and construction techniques.

It contains photos of buildings that were newly built a long time ago, making it a valuable resource.

From another perspective, it's also filled with retro advertisements and designs unique to the Showa era.

Based on a quick inspection, there are almost no damages such as folds, stains, mold, or writing, but there is some discoloration and fading due to aging.
