隈研吾：日本著名建筑设计师，1954年生于日本神奈川县，1990年创办隈研吾建筑事务所，近期主要作品有马头町広重美术馆、那须石头博物馆、长城脚下公社——竹屋、“水/玻璃”和1995年威尼斯双年展“日本馆”等，并赢得了多项国内国际大奖，包括芬兰自然木造建筑精神奖（2002）、日本建筑学会东北宪章设计大奖（2000）和日本建筑学会奖（1997）等。
他的设计优美地表达了他对"材质"的偏爱（尤其是对传统的日式材质，如石头、竹子和草本），也体现了他对环境敏感型和文化敏感性建筑的追求。
本书收录了他近期最重要的一些作品，包括安藤广重博物馆，那须石头博物馆，宝来温泉澡堂，LV东京总部，长崎县美术馆，北京竹屋等。
