Kenzo Tange by Robin Boyd
A very early book (1962) on Japan's first world-renowned architect. It's knowledgeable and intelligent, and probably prone to vague hand-waving only when Tange's ideas make it all but unavoidable. I like his later work much more than the massive early very Corbusier-influenced buildings, so this misses the parts of his career I am most interested in, but it's a pretty sound and substantial early look at his work.
