Fumihiko Maki buildings and projects

Recognized for many years as one of Japan's greatest architects, Maki has reached a more international audience in the 1990s with the completion of his first major works in the US and Europe the Center for the Arts Yerba Buena Gardens in San Francisco, and the Isar Bnropark in Munich. This abundantly illustrated monograph provides an overview of nearly three decades of work, presenting projects in thematic groupings (rather than chronologically) and covering a range of scales and types of building. The text includes explanatory essays by several contributors and excerpts from Maki's 1964 essay "Investigations in Collective Form."
