GA Details Book
Tuesday, July 21st, 2009
I am deeply touched and always grateful for every dime and dollar dropped into our donation jar, and was tremendously moved by the generous show of support by many donors just after the flood.
One truly memorable gift came from our friends at ADA Edita in Tokyo, the publishers of GA Details #1. This popular Global Architectural Details edition focuses on the Farnsworth House and contains dimensioned floor plans, elevations, sections and detailed drawings of all elements of the house. For anyone curious about the technical and functional solutions of this master of architecture, this book serves as a treasured possession. Yukio Futagawa, photographer and publisher of the GA Details series, surprised us shortly after the flood with a gift of 72 copies of the GA Details #1 book. He had heard about the flood and having visited to photograph the house on numerous occasions, was concerned for its well being. It has taken us a little time to get our online shop in order, but we are now ready to make this generous donation available to admirers of the Farnsworth House. In order to raise additional funds, we are offering a special price on the first 72 books purchased on line. Normally retailing for $40, the next 72 books will be sold at a reduced price of $30.
The new online shop contains many other products and we hope to keep expanding our selection in the future. We are a great resource for books on Mies van der Rohe and many other modern masters. We pride ourselves on finding well designed, high quality pieces to share with our rather particular audience. All proceeds from the sale of products in our gift shop serve to support our mission.
I hope you’ll take a moment to take a look at our merchandise and if you’ve always wanted your own copy of GA Details, or know a fan of the Farnsworth House who might be a worthy recipient, there couldn’t be a better time to secure one.
