Kunio Maekawa (前川國男 Maekawa Kunio, 14 May 1905 – 26 June 1986) was a Japanese architect especially known for the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan building, and a key figure of modern Japanese architecture

Kunio Mayekawa was born in 1905 in Niigata Prefecture in Japan. He entered First Tokyo Middle School in 1918, and then Tokyo Imperial University in 1925. After graduation in 1928, he travelled to France to apprentice with Le Corbusier. In 1930 he returned to Japan and worked with Antonin Raymond (a student of Frank Lloyd Wright), and in 1935 established his own office Mayekawa Kunio Associates. His own house has been described as his starting point, in which he brought the idea of piloti inside the house, to create a two-storey space. The original house has been dismantled and relocated to the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum.

In 1955 he designed and build his first project: the Kanagawa Concert Hall and Library. His perhaps most famous work, the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, located in Tokyo's Ueno Park was completed in 1961. The building contains a main, large concert hall, a recital hall, as well as a rehearsal room and a music library.

Maekawa Kunio, Maekawa also spelled Mayekawa, (born May 14, 1905, Niigata-shi, Japan—died June 27, 1986, Tokyo), Japanese architect noted for his designs of community centres and his work in concrete.

After graduation from Tokyo University in 1928, Maekawa studied with the architect Le Corbusier in Paris for two years. Returning to Japan, he tried in such works as Hinamoto Hall (1936) and the Dairen Town Hall (1938) to counteract the pompous style of the Japanese imperialist regime. In the 1950s he continued to work primarily in the style of Le Corbusier. Buildings such as the Educational Centre, Fukushima (1955), the Harumi flats in Tokyo (1959), and the Setagaya Community Centre in Tokyo (1959) reflect his efforts to use concrete in a manner appropriate to the material.

Beginning with the Tokyo Metropolitan Festival Hall (1961), Maekawa displayed a warmer and more expansive style. In the Saitama Cultural Centre (1966), he brought an entirely new approach to the design of community centres. He also designed the Japanese pavilions for both the Brussels World’s Fair (1958) and the New York World’s Fair (1964–65).

Kunio Maekawa

Prominent among modern Japanese architects, Kunio Maekawa (1905-1986) served an apprenticeship in France during the 1930s. Well-known for his use of architectural concrete, his post-World War II contributions included designs for prefabricated structures and high-rise apartments
