I strongly recommend this book to not only those are pretty familiar with LTL's works but also some one who's just curious about what's going on in today's architecture/design world. The book is not big and there are not many projects in it. But each and every one is well delineated. The design thoughts of LTL is disseminated like a pin-up review at the end of a semester. It could well be a portfolio style reference for guys still struggling at arch schools or young professionals who's trying to impress the clients/employees by their design talents. Nice work, LTL.
 really worth to have
I am a big fan of Lewis.Tsurumake.Lewis, so this book is like a full version. I really love it. The projects are interesting and the drawing is extremely nice.
Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis, Oppertunistic Architrcture.
A fantastically compiled and diagrammatically explained book. I highly recommend it to all design conscious students for its superfluously direct imagery. Well worth the $$'s .

One of the better monographs in some time.
If you are a fan of LTL's work, this monograph covers the vast majority of their work to date. Every project is presented by both good photography and/or the hybridized graphics LTL has become know for; as well as explinations as to how and why each was developed. While this is the typical format for an architectural monograph, it's not the main reason I am giving this book a high review. Ten pages toward the end of this book are dedicated to explaining, in detail, the 5 Tactics for an Opportunistic Architecture the firm uses as the basis for their work. These tactics provide for a much deeper explination into all of LTL's projects, and are published as a kind of "work in progress". Seeing an architect put their ideas out in print the same way a programmer publishes open source software is both refreshing, and inspiring.
LTL - monograph you need if you like their work!
Lewis Tsurumaki Lewis continue to go from strength to strength as they progress from unbuilt theory and competition entries to built work. I envied them in school, and I appreciate them now I'm working as an Architect. This monograph is a perfect follow up to the Pamphlet Architecture "Situation Normal". Some of the work is re-presented here but 90% of it is fresh and new. If you ever wanted to see a beautifully clean (even restrained) approach to presenting a project through renderings and fantastic perspectives - this is the book for you.
