Résumé:
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. Influenced by post-Bauhaus internationalism, sympathetic to the radical urban architectural vision of Team X, and a participant in the avant-garde movement Metabolism, Maki has been at the forefront of his profession for decades. This collection of essays documents the evolution of architectural modernism and Maki's own fifty-year intellectual journey during a critical period of architectural and urban history.

Résumé:
Lauréat du prix Pritzker en 1993, Fumihiko Maki est un des grands maîtres d'une architecture moderne, imprégnée de culture japonaise. Respectueux de l'espace, il est sensible à l'appropriation sociale des lieux. Parmi ses dernières oeuvres : WTC 4, une des tours de Ground Zero à New York. Michel Thiollière, par le biais d'une conversation, nous fait découvrir un acteur essentiel de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme des soixante dernières années, qui a côtoyé et admiré aussi bien Le Corbusier, Alvar Aalto, Kenzo Tange, Mies van der Rohe, Walter Gropius que Frank Lloyd Wright.

Résumé:
"J'ai trouvé ce que vous disiez si extraordinaire que j'ai estimé que certaines choses devaient être consignées pour l'histoire de l'architecture." Ainsi débute la conversation entre Ieoh Ming Pei et Fumihiko Maki. Ieoh Ming Pei, né en 1917, a réalisé après la rénovation du Louvre d'autres bâtiments, dont le musée scientifique de Macao. Fumihiko Maki, né en 1928, a achevé en 2015 WTC 4, une des tours de Ground Zero à New York. Tous deux sont lauréats du prix Pritzker : c'est dire si leur histoire personnelle et professionnelle se confond avec l'Histoire de l'architecture. En évoquant leur vie, leur carrière et leurs rencontres, ils font revivre celles de Gropius, Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, Alvar Aalto, Mies van der Rohe, et de tant d'autres personnalités du monde de l'architecture ou de l'art.

Résumé:
Thirty years after the original Japanese edition by Fumihiko Maki and a team from Maki and Associates, an English-language version of this book is finally available. The original was based on a commissioned study on “The Desirable Living Environment” and examined Japanese urban spaces in the context of Tokyo’s rapid change and the city’s distinctive aesthetic consciousness. In particular, the concern for surface layers, micro-topographies, and small spaces in the metropolis received special focus. With the ever-growing and new global metropolises emerging today, fundamentally different attitudes toward public domains are revealed. It is clear that old ideas no longer apply.

Résumé:
Influenced by post-Bauhaus internationalism, sympathetic to the radical urban architectural vision of Team X, and a participant in the avant-garde movement Metabolism, Maki has been at the forefront of his profession for decades. This collection of essays documents the evolution of architectural modernism and Maki's own fifty-year intellectual journey during a critical period of architectural and urban history. Maki's treatment of his two overarching themes--the contemporary city and modernist architecture--demonstrates strong (and sometimes unexpected) linkages between urban theory and architectural practice. Images and commentary on three of Maki's own works demonstrate the connection between his writing and his designs.
