Architecture-Page | Waro Kishi by Masao Furuyama

Made primarily of glass and steel rather than massive expanses of concrete like Ando's work, Kishi's building are considered by some to be more delicate and subtle, and overall his designs are less driven by iconic forms.

A self-described contrarian who preferred the works of such architects as Marcel Breuer and Richard Neutra when many others were embracing Postmodernism, Kishi refuses such labels as "Modernist" or "Miesian".

This is the first book to provide an overview of this innovative arhitect's career.
