Shapes, Lines, and Light: My Grandfather''s American Journey

English

By (author): Katie Yamasaki

Minoru Yamasaki described the feeling he sought to create in his buildings as serenity, surprise, and delight. Here, Katie Yamasaki charts his life and work: his childhood in Seattles Japanese immigrant community, paying his way through college working in Alaskas notorious salmon canneries, his success in architectural school, and the transformative structures he imagined and built. A Japanese American man who faced brutal anti-Asian racism in postWorld War II America and an outsider to the architectural establishment, he nonetheless left his mark on the world, from the American Midwest to New York City, Asia, and the Middle East.

This striking picture book renders one artists work through the eyes of another, and tells a story of a man whose vision, hard work, and humanity led him to the pinnacle of his field.
