520 ^aA personal tour of Tokyo^'s architecture, as seen through the eyes of one of the world^'s most acclaimed architects who is also designing the primary venue for the Tokyo Olympic games. Tokyo is Japan^'s cultural and commercial epicenter, bursting with vibrancy and life. Its buildings, both historical and contemporary, are a direct reflection of its history and its people. Kengo Kuma was only ten years old when he found himself so inspired by Tokyo^'s cityscape that he decided to become an architect. Here he tells the story of his career through twenty-five inspirational buildings in the city. Kuma^'s passion is evident on every page, as well as his curiosity about construction methods and his wealth of knowledge about buildings around the world, making this a unique commentary on Tokyo^'s dynamic architecture. Kengo Kuma: My Life as an Architect is an intimate and truly inspiring book, revealing the beauty that exists in the world^'s everyday spaces.^" -- ^cProvided by publisher. |
