I had the pleasure of flipping through Hitoshi Abe’s first English monograph book.  It was inspiring and allowed me to enjoy one of my favorite contemporary architects.  Known for his sleek modern exteriors paired with utilitarian designed interiors, he is one of the most interesting of Japan’s new generation of architects.  It explores Abe’s distinctive aesthetic in detail, which combines an emphasis on everyday use with innovative engineering solutions.  Every project is illustrated with a wealth of interior and exterior photographs, as well as drawings by the architect and computer renderings.  Get behind the mind of Hitoshi.
