Architecture of Yoshio Taniguchi (Harry N. Abrams 1999) gives a thorough presentation of Taniguchi’s elegant works and their architectural ideas. The introductory essay is by Fumihiko Maki.
Covered in this generously illustrated volume are nearly twenty of Taniguchi’s buildings and projects, from his earliest, the Shiseido Art Museum, to his most recent, the Museum of Modern Art expansion. Taniguchi has written commentaries on each one, as well as a brief essay discussing his training and development as an architect. A second essay has been provided by another of Japan’s leading architects, Fumihiko Maki. Together the photographs drawings, and texts provide an in-depth look at the work of one of the most highly respected architects practising today.
