It contains an introduction and critical analysis of Takeyama's architecture by Professor Botand Bognar, an essay by Takeyama, and two articles by critics Charles Jencks and Kazukiyo Matsuba. In addition it features 20 of the architect's most important buildings and projects, including Tokyo Port Terminal, the Egyptian Embassy in Tokyo and the Pepsi Canning Plant.Book Details
