If you approach this book knowing that it’s a book of images and drawings, without ANY text, it’s not a bad source of information regarding this building; however, I’m not familiar with Olgiati’s other publications, so I don’t know what information might have been published elsewhere regarding this building.
There are sixteen beautifully printed color photographs of the building’s exterior and interior taken at different times of day by Olgiati. Drawings include a plan of the community, roof plan, plans for both levels, a section, and all four major exterior elevations. Because the book is small, all of this information is presented in a small format; however, the print quality is so high that if one needed to, I suspect one could upscale it all to a limited extent.
I strongly recommend watching the excellent, short documentary about the studio posted at http://tinyurl.com/m53hjyv before deciding whether or not you want to seek out this book.
