As the first English translation of Toshio Nakamura's 2015 memoir, this expanded facsimile of Architects in Memories offers a new audience access to a seminal text that intimately charts the evolution of modern global architecture from a post-war Japanese perspective. As the founder/editor of the influential architecture magazine a+u, Nakamura was deeply engaged, personally and professionally, with leading figures in architecture worldwide, such as Louis Kahn, Philip Johnson, and Peter Eisenman. His diary records reflections from 1953 to 2015 and later became his memoir, chronicling personal observations, pivotal moments, interactions, and observations that collectively offer insight into the making of postmodern architecture and architectural culture.The translation by Junichi Satoh carries images by Michael Moran. It is complimented by other media, expanding the original volume with essays by Kenneth Frampton and Ashley Simone, and images of each cover produced during Nakamura's tenure as the editor-in-chief of a+u.
