This new book on Kengo Kuma, one of the world's most respected architects, focuses on architectural detailing throughout 38 global projects to discover his creative essence. Kuma's gentle but commanding commentary, accompanied by hundreds of photos and diagrams, focuses on how architectural details reveal his identity across a journey of discovery. This evolution is told in six chapters-Fabric, Mineral, Green, Thatching, Bamboo, and Wood-and covers 38 projects from around the world. Each project has been carefully curated to tell specific developments in this coming-of-age story. As he explains the details of each project, readers will see more of Kengo Kuma's creative essence throughout his process. Concepts covered here offer clarity on his perspective as an architect and include: . creating softness with hard materials, . the relationship between openness and anti-volume, . and how to use geometry to mitigate the natural contours of a building site. What unfolds is an architectural vision of craft developed through the exploration of historical processes and expectations, craftsmanship, and artistic skill. AUTHOR: Kengo Kuma established KKAA Kengo Kuma & Associates in 1990. He is currently a university professor and professor emeritus at the University of Tokyo after teaching at Keio University and the University of Tokyo. KKAA projects are currently underway in more than 40 countries. Kengo Kuma proposes architecture that opens up new relationships among nature, technology, and human beings. 400 images and drawings
