Biography
Taiji Miyasaka is Associate Professor of Architecture at Washington State University at Pullman.
"By brilliantly pairing student work and contemporary precedents, theoretical texts and interviews, Taiji Miyasaka unpacks the nature of "ingenuity" through the most basic of human actions, seeing and making. This book is a must read for design students and educators in the digital age, illuminating the slow and methodical path to authenticity contrary to the culture of instant gratification."
Kentaro Tsubaki, Tulane School of Architecture, New Orleans, USA
