Depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for a nice catalogue of his works, without commentary, Taschen should do it. There is one by Steidl but didn't handle it - I mention it because I know you appreciate that publisher
Not a solo book or retrospective on Ando, but on a group of islands in the japan sea with buildings by sanaa and ando, among others.
Sometimes I enjoy reading about sorroundings of architecture more than about architecture itself. And this is an especially interesting context.
There's also an exhibition catalogue "architecture of silence" which is supposed to be good, but I didn't handle it so far.
That Sou Fujimoto glass house was on an episode of Extreme Homes on HGTV (terrible show, I was on a binge of bad tv shows on Netflix). It's an interesting house, pretty much zero privacy.
Was in Seattle a couple months back, snapped a quick picture w/ my phone of the Seattle Central Library by Rem Koolhaas & Joshua Prince-Ramus
Tokyo National Museum, Gallery of Horyuji Treasures by Yoshio Taniguchi.

I don't know if this was posted before, has anyone flipped through Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed by Frederic Chaubin. I picked it up a few years ago. Soviet area architecture was pretty amazing.

years ago a well-known member here (don't remember his name) posted a few pictures of his apartment which i saved, but as some jpgs just vanish, i'd want to check them out again. i guess photobucket took them down, and now i can't even remember the fucking thread. urhg. i don't remember his name, i remember his apartment as very white, i think even the floors, minimalist interior with just a few items - in one of the rooms with what i think was a fireplace there was also this boat lamp, and he showed pictures of his kitchen and bedroom too as far as i can remember. does it ring any bells to anyone?
Always a personal favourite of mine; Margaret Wittgenstein's house. Designed in part by Ludwig Wittgenstein, but mostly the work of Paul Engelmann. I (Unlike Ludwig) enjoy the modernist austerity greatly.
