Description
A prolific and outspoken proponent of modern architecture, Maki is known for his rational approach and intelligent use of technology. This monograph provides an overview of nearly three decades of work, concentrating on major works of the most recent and productive decade and showing an evolution of ideas and architectural vocabulary. Projects are presented in thematic groupings, rather than in a strict chronology, and cover a range of scales and types - from a small house in Poland to the massive construction of the Makuhari Messe complex on Tokyo Bay. The text includes essays by Botond Bognar, Paolo Polledri, Alex Krieger, and Kenichi Echigoshima as well as excerpts from Maki's 1964 essay "Investigations in Collective Form," which provided the impetus for much of his subsequent architectural activity.
