MAKI’S PHILOSOPHYMAKI’S PHILOSOPHY Maki chooses to work on public buildings that are

on at large scale, because of this his structures seem to be complicating only for the fact that he add so many things.

He plays off of this idea of space and people and incorporates into his design.

He examines carefully how people interact in spaces and works with the site to produce buildings that seem to either use curvilinear forms to spread across the land or use modules of cubes to build up.

He also uses dynamic roofs that project in different directions to contrast his simplistic facades.

A recurring aspect in Fumihiko Maki's designs is his masterful use of light
