2005ref. 0110São Paulo, D'Auria Editora, 2005. First and only edition. Bilingual, written in English and Portuguese. SIGNED by Decio Tozzi with a blue ballpoint pen on the front flyleaf. A sturdy in-quarto hardcover book. 230 x 294 mm, 335 pp. Original black and white dust jacket with flaps. English and Portuguese title printed on the spine. Headbands. Portuguese text translated to English by Beatriz Tassinari Brandão. Printed on couché paper. Profusely illustrated.

Several authors contributed to the book texts, Tozzi concluding it with a text on "Living Architecture." "Decio Tozzi has always worked in São Paulo and still is. His work from the 60's, the 70's and the 80's is striking by the love expressed for the craft work and exposed materials. One can obviously recognize Oscar Niemeyer's influence but along the years, Tozzi's work seems to have developed an own very interesting identity." (Architectuul)
