Maki Opus
A richly illustrated survey of architect Maki Fumihiko’s significant works.
This volume offers a comprehensive overview of the life and work of Maki Fumihiko (1928–2024), one of Japan’s leading architects. Known for his understated yet innovative buildings in Japan and abroad, Maki’s work is presented through extensive illustrations and technical drawings.
The book features fifty projects spanning the 1960s to the present day, including the MIT Media Lab, the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto, and 4 World Trade Center. It examines his work through themes such as materiality, building technology, and his international exchange, and includes previously unpublished photographs and drawings from the practice archives.
Maki Fumihiko was born in Tokyo in 1928. Alongside establishing Maki and Associates, he also served as Professor at The University of Tokyo until 1989, contributing to the education of younger generations of architects.
He received numerous awards in Japan and abroad, including the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1993. In 2013, he was designated a Person of Cultural Merit by the Japanese government.
