July 17, 2006 — In 1960 a young Japanese architecture professor named Fumihiko Maki completed his first-ever commission while teaching at Washington University in St. Louis. Four decades later, Maki is among the world's premier architects, a Pritzker Prize-winner renowned for creating monumental spaces that fuse Eastern and Western sensibilities. Now Maki has returned to Washington University as architect of the new 68,000-square-foot Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, a dramatic, light-filled structure that will showcase the university's internationally renowned art collection; and Earl E. and Myrtle E. Walker Hall, a 38,000-square-foot studio facility.
