Over the years many of Maki's design intentions have remained constant from phase to phase. After that it was up to the architect to determine how best to combine dwellings and shops in an area fettered by stringent residential building codes but fronting Old Yamate Street, a major thoroughfare ripe for commercial development.įor Maki it was also a pivotal opportunity to apply the language of Modernism to the making of humane, urban places - still a rare commodity in Tokyo. In addition to the Asakura family, who planned to continue living on their land, a beauty parlor owner and a restaurateur wanted in. "But even before we started to design we had these tenants," Maki said. Their idea was to develop it bit by bit since they had limited resources and there was some question whether they would be able to fill the rental space, as there were no stores or shops around. Rice merchants turned real-estate moguls, the Asakuras had owned the land for generations. Rising land prices and the prospect at that time of Tokyo's growth prompted the Asakuras to build on the property, a forested site dotted with a few wooden houses. In fact, only two years before he had returned to Tokyo to hang out his shingle following a period of work and study in the United States. But in 1967, when the Asakura family asked him to begin designing buildings for their land in Daikanyama, then a sleepy, suburban community, Maki was fairly new on the scene. Today he enjoys rich and varied commissions throughout Japan and abroad. Widely respected as a designer, teacher and theoretician, Maki won the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1993. And now with the recent completion of Hillside West, Hillside Terrace's cousin, building watchers will have even more to rave about. In recognition of its outstanding cultural contribution, the complex was awarded the 1998 Mecenat Award Grand Prize, given by Tokyo's Association for Corporate Support of the Arts. Built in stages over 30 years, the mixed-use development is noted not only for its gracious plazas and elegant buildings, but also as a unique chronicle of Maki's work.
