FUTAGAWA, Yukio (ed. & photog.). GA Document. Tokyo: A.D.A. Edita, 1981–1992. 14 issues (Nos. 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 24, 26, 28, 35, together with GA Document Special Issue 1: 1970–1980).

Square 4to (30 x 30cm). Original pictorial softcover wrappers throughout. Profusely illustrated with photography by Futagawa throughout, together with architectural plans and drawings. Text in Japanese and English. First editions.

GA Document, launched in 1981, represents a mature and more critically ambitious phase of Futagawa's publishing project, extending the documentary rigour of the earlier Global Architecture series into a distinctive square-format publication that surveyed contemporary international architecture with an increasing emphasis on critical commentary alongside Futagawa's photography, drawing contributions from major architectural critics and historians of the period, including Kenneth Frampton. The lot includes the significant GA Document Special Issue 1: 1970–1980, a substantial retrospective anthology surveying 106 notable buildings of that decade, with essays contributed by Robert A. M. Stern and Arata Isozaki alongside Futagawa's principal photography — a genuinely important critical and photographic survey of the decade's architecture in its own right, distinct from the series' standard single-building issues.

Spanning the years 1981 to 1992, this lot of fourteen issues offers a substantial cross-section of the series through more than a decade of significant international architectural production, extending Futagawa's documentary project into an era of considerable stylistic diversity and critical debate within the profession.

Generally very good to near fine throughout. Some mild yellowing to edges of some issues. Contents fine throughout.
