隈研吾：日本著名建筑設(shè)計師，1954年生于日本神奈川縣，1990年創(chuàng)辦隈研吾建筑事務(wù)所，近期主要作品有馬頭町広重美術(shù)館、那須石頭博物館、長城腳下公社——竹屋、“水/玻璃”和1995年威尼斯雙年展“日本館”等，并贏得了多項國內(nèi)國際大獎，包括芬蘭自然木造建筑精神獎（2002）、日本建筑學會東北憲章設(shè)計大獎（2000）和日本建筑學會獎（1997）等。
他的設(shè)計優(yōu)美地表達了他對"材質(zhì)"的偏愛（尤其是對傳統(tǒng)的日式材質(zhì)，如石頭、竹子和草本），也體現(xiàn)了他對環(huán)境敏感型和文化敏感性建筑的追求。
本書收錄了他近期最重要的一些作品，包括安藤廣重博物館，那須石頭博物館，寶來溫泉澡堂，LV東京總部，長崎縣美術(shù)館，北京竹屋等。
