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." -- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Kuma, Kengo, $d 1954- 650 0 $a Architecture $z Tokyo. $z Tokyo. 650 0 $a Architecture, Japanese. 650 0 $a Architecture, Postmodern $z Japan. 650 0 $a Architecture, Japanese $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Architecture, Japanese $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Design $z Japan. 600 17 $a Kuma, Kengo, $d 1954- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00440158 650 7 $a Architecture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00813346 650 7 $a Architecture, Japanese. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00813811 651 7 $a Japan $z Tokyo. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204835 700 1 $a Barton, Polly $c (Translator), $e translator. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240403012801.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317013302.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A9707442CF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
