| Abstract | Maki’s investigations in group form were an effort to reconcile the homogenizing tendencies of modernization and the imperative to preserve qualities of local places and regions. Maki continued this investigation once he returned to Japan in 1965, through meetings with a group of young modernist architects from different regions in Asia, including William S.W. Lim, Sumet Jumsai, Tao Ho, Charles Correa, and Koichi and Catharine Nagashima. They all knew Jaqueline Tyrwhitt, who encouraged them to form the Asian Planning and Architectural Collaboration (APAC). This paper examines the work of this group in the context of rapid urban development, intensified density, decolonization and a search for national identity. |
