Nurturing Dreams
Unavailable as a collection until now, these essays document both the intellectual journey of one of the world's leading architects and a critical period in the evolution of architectural thought. Born in Tokyo, educated in Japan and the United States, and principal of an internationally acclaimed architectural practice, celebrated architect Fumihiko Maki brings to his writings on architecture a perspective that is both global and uniquely Japanese.

The Architecture of Fumihiko Maki
Fumihiko Maki was born in 1928 in Tokyo and is regarded as a doyen of modern Japanese architecture.
