Dr. Hitoshi Abe, professor and chair of the UCLA Department of Architecture and Urban Design, discusses his distinguished career as a practicing architect and a leader in education. Known for architecture that is spatially complex and structurally innovative, the work of Atelier Hitoshi Abe has been exhibited internationally and has received numerous awards. Abe is the subject of a new monograph published by Phaidon.
